Hi all,
I just found some good info on the VE series cluster (http://www.carmodder.com/doc-holden-commodore-ve-programming-cluster-eeproms-d57m19.html) and also this link (http://www.carmodder.com/doc-holden-commodore-ve-upgrading-instrument-clusters-d44m19.html).
This might help clear some things up too:
Notes Regarding Early and Late Model VE Clusters
IMPORTANT NOTE:
There are two variations of VE Instrument cluster, that appear to be incompatible with each other.
VE Year Models MY06, MY07, MY08, and MY08.5 do not support instrument clusters from MY09 Models and Later.
Likewise it appears the MY09 Models do not support earlier MY06, MY07, MY08 and MY08.5 Instrument Clusters.
The limitation appears to be a GM TECH2 issue, as well as some minor wiring details (such as steering wheel button controls), and as such it is not recommended that late model clusters are fitted to earlier models, and vice versa.
HOW TO IDENTIFY EARLY AND LATE MODEL INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS VE Instrument clusters from Year Models MY06, MY07, MY08 and MY08.5 have a white plastic cover on the back on the instrument cluster.
These instrument clusters are manufactured by Arrow Australia, and are only suitable for early model VE Commodores.
VE Instrument Clusters from MY09, MY10, and Series II Commodores have a black plastic cover on the back of the instrument cluster.
These instrument clusters are manufactured by Continental (VDO), and are only suitable for late model VE Commodores.
