The actual mileage shows up as soon as you open the door or push the trip button and that still works no matter the buttons that are connected. I'm thinking mostly for inspections when they check the miles. Even though for warantee work, the shop could look at either the BCM or the DIC to see what they are... if they match, I don't think they'd care what buttons work and what don't.

i suppose so.

though if you did want to get it programmed, you'd just need to have it programmed for MORE miles than your car has... then when your car hits that mileage, plug it in! :P
