Pics will be up soon enough but I wanted to get the info here first.
My work firewall is cutting me off before I can post everything.
1. There are 2 types of UKDM clusters; regular ones and the face-lifted ones. Only the face-lifted type allow for temperature sensor addition. The identification would be the SRS indidcator on the face. The one allowing for temperature sensor addition has a little image of a man with an airbag. The normal one without temperature readout just says "SRS"
2. Lower your steering wheel all the way down.
3. Pull out the bezel surrounding the cluster.
- stick your hands to the cluster face
- rotate each 180 degrees (right hand turns counterclockwise and left closkwise) so that the palms are facing outward.
- push your fingers in between the cluster and bezel.
- pull gently but firmly.
- remove 3 screws securing cluster
- disconnect green and blue harnesses in back
4. cut the red wire on the green harness and ground the wire. It would be best to clip it at least 3 inches from plug if installing temperature sensor.

This grounding will allow your climate control lighting to work in the dash
- If installing temp sensor, pop up bar on green connector and remove the bare red lead no longer being used (or purchase one)
- push back down green connector bar after removing lead
For installing temp sensor---if not using, proceed to step 8.
5. Pop bar on blue connector and install wire lead to pin 10 (with clip on top, it is the top right opening not being used)
6. Install temp sensor in front bumper
7. By installing additional wire, run wire lead from pin 10 to one terminal of temp sensor. Run a wire from other lead of sensor to solid ground point
8. Reinstall cluster in opposite order of removal.
