I am losing the the digital read out of my odometer. Plane as day on start up, then in just a few min. it fades out. On my '02 320 it is a VDO brand. Have any of you change out the speed o/ odometer? stayed with the same make?
Wonder if ground connection could be wonky, or 12+ positive feed. Recommend same VDO matching spedo, and know the pulse count from the original spedo.
In the 1997 U295 I had the speedo died. I was able to get one from FOT. As far as the pulse count, do a search here and you will find a number of posts on pulse count. After I put in the new speedo it was more accurate then the old one was before it died.
Check this thread.

1999 Odometer failing any others had this problem (https://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=35172.msg327740#msg327740)
You might give a call to Jay at Lauderdale Speedometer (FL) 954-520-8640 and tell him your problem. He's sharp. Lauderdale Speedometer & Compass (https://www.lspeedo.com/) They work on most VDO products.

My new to me 99 U295 is on its third speedometer. According to stickers inside dash replacements were installed at FT...I guess failures are a thing with these?
Jay at Fort Laurderdale speedometer, a great resource!
GPS speedo . Works well .
I fitted a new GPS Mike that you recommended to me ages ago, absolutely fine and certainly alot easier than replacing the old sender unit,
