eBay, if you want to take a chance.
Other then that, it's a Dealer part, I believe it's around $7-800.

ugh i should have known. I have searched ebay numerous times and came up empty handed. Seems no one has the b5 s4 cluster. I have an aftermarket warranty but if anyone has had one of them then they know how much of a pain in the *** they are. I paid an extra 2.5k for the warranty and they are greedy bastards that dont want to pay for anything. Has anyone else had this problem? it seems like half of the pixels are going out. Sometimes u can slightly read it and other times you cant read anything. Could it be a loose wire or a short or what?

That a common problem, and the only fix is a new cluster. Yes, I had also purchased a extended warranty on my old M3, every claim was denied, for some dumb reason. Some one started a class action law suit, and I got 75% of my money back.

They should cover the cluster, while it may be work, you paid for the warranty, and you have a $800 repair bill, sounds like it's worth a few phone calls to me.

I have also noticed that the screen is more visable when it is cold. During the day, i can hardly see it. But at night when its really cold, theres more pixels lighting up

thanks for all the info guys...i talked to a guy thats about 30 mins down the interstate from where I live, hes a family friend and works on all imports. I talked to him and i have an appointment for next weds. i am getting the oil leak in both turbos fixed, my 2nd gear syncros, cv-axle bc its popin and clicking, along with the navi/gps thing. plus my door lock is messed up, i put the key in it and it just spins all the way around, over and over. so my baby will be down for awhile but atleast it will be fixed

My non navi one crapped out, dealer replaced and I think they wrote the charge at like $761 or something close to that. Heck I didn't care at the time. They paid for it!
