Hi,
I need to change my broken instrument panel, they are telling me that it should come with a new set of keys, lock and tank lid, I don't see why..
is this the case?

Cheers,

It is my understanding that this is correct, Keys, Instrument Panel, Lock and Tank Lid. I had the same thing happen when they where packing up my house this past weekend the movers dropped a tube door on my speedo and yes it cracked.... There was another comment in another thread that it would work with a virgin instrument panel without the extras.

STOP! unless you absolutely want the immobilizer, don't go spending thousands of dollars on ignition etc... you can reflash the dash, bypass immobilizer and be ok with just a few hundred dollar dash... doesn't have to be virgin.

I am going through same project/problem right now.


Also, here is a great way to do it yourself and keep immobilizer as well actually:

message from Gilly on this forum: "using DucatiDiag. Free software. You just have to purchase two common cables via amazon. Flash license is $140 ($100 Euros), which lets you disable the immobilizer, upload maps, change rev limiter etc.

It's all in my "Oh My" thread on the SF board.

If you want to flash additional ECU's, it's just 50 Euros each.

The software was written by "JP" of France. And it works. There are also options to re-virginize the ECU I believe, which in the case of a different dash, would allow you to keep the immobilizer. I'm not 100% on that part... but all the rest is gold!

Not good news! HORRIBLE customer service!
MAE Elettronica: MAE Elettronica s.r.l. - Motorbike Digital Dashboard

Oct 5: E-mailed "Servizio QualitĂ ". I used Google Translate, and sent the e-mail in Italian. I asked if they could sell me the LCD screen, not the whole cluster.

Oct 12: They replied in English, and asked me to provide pictures

Oct 12: I replied and provided pictures.

Oct 18: No response yet, so I replied again.

Nov 1: Still no response, so I replied again.

Nov 14: Still no response, so I e-mailed "Servizio Clienti"

Nov 21: Still no response.

Anyone know anyone that speaks Italian that would like to call them on our behalf?

No prob.
I finally got another response from them!
I e-mailed them again yesterday, and got a response this morning. They said they didn't receive the pictures I sent. So I sent links instead of attachments, in case it ended up in their junk folder.
I have a little bit of hope again!

Bad news!
Quote from e-mail:
Please be informed that Your problem has to be forwarded to DUCATI DEALERS in Your country.

I am sorry but we cannot help You in this way, because Ducati is our customer and it is still purchasing spare parts from MAE.



Sorry but You can well understand Your position.

No, I finally was able to get in touch with the manufacturer, but they wouldn't sell me the LCD part. What I ended up doing was just put it back together, plugged it in and hid it - and wired up a Trailtech Vapor unit.

It was a piece of cake to get apart, but yes you do feel like you're gonna break it. And I actually did put a little crack in the plastic in the process. The two halves are siliconed together. I put the one half in a vice, and pried and chiseled it off. Might help to heat it up first.
