Not possible from a dump read directly from eeprom. It is only possible thru obd but you need some cables that can pull the pin out od rb8

what adapter did you use to do so? im having a issue with a client RB8 and to the point im just going to clone it to another cluster. i have read the eeprom 24c08 chip using a ch341a chip reader but not sure thats the correct way. i do have a carprog and read that you must do it over obd, is this all kline? assuming ecu and cluster needs to be connected together to pull the eeprom and skc?

Only by obd thru kline , you cant copy epprom from cluster to cluster , you dont need keys or ecu connected to pull skc etc.

Which generation of immo does this cluster have?

im honestly not sure how would i go about reading what IMMO it is? vcds will not connect to the original even on the bench. the replacement i have sitting here is rb8 981n from what i see in the eeprom i was able to pull (tags are not readable). both clusters are "color" screens so im hoping for the best.

Yes immo4 for sure - if you cant read the original cluster then you will have problem because you need to copy immo ( skc , cp and mac ) from the old cluster to new. The other option is to read it from ecu.
