How to tell which Instrument Cluster I have? Gen 1 vs Gen 2

[ndubes]

Tried to find this info on the forums before posting, but couldn't find my answer so I apologize if it's posted somewhere. I have a LOT of bubbles on our 2015 S 70D instrument cluster so I'm going to follow the procedure others have done to replace it with a used IC from eBay

Replacing instrument cluster

However, I'd like to know which version (Gen 1 or Gen 2) I have before I start opening up the dash, since I need to be able to drive the car while I wait for the part to arrive. Is there a simple way to tell which version I have, without opening up the dash first?

Not 100% sure but if you have the old display with the circular speedometer then that would be gen 1. to be safe I would remove your currnt one and order the used or new based off of the TPN: on the back.

You have AP1, it's GEN2 IC display, to be safe check sticker on ic rear panel

Old post, but good information to have in the internet search!
This is one of the most common questions I get. I have found that the easiest way to tell without pulling the whole dash out is to look at the instrument cluster surround. If it has a thick aluminum band around the outside, then it is a GEN 1. If it has a thin aluminum band, it is a GEN 2 screen.
