R53 Center gauge package

Does anyone know if the R50 R52 R53 Chrono Packet center gauge cluster fit in the place of the navigation on a 2006 Mini Cooper S , as a direct plug & play swap?

Would need to update the ECU to recognize the new "cluster" regardless.

You have to code the modules for chrono back, also your miles will read whatever the cluster had on it, there is no easy way to change the miles.

I wish I could figure out which chip to reflash, although I do not terribly mind my car having 70k miles, the other modules all know it really has 125k miles
