Can it be cranked up by the dealership? Possibly somewhere else besides the dealership? It has 38k miles now, and my car has 58k.

only 1 time and up to a certain point... 1000 miles I believe, after that it's locked
Your cluster most likely has more that 1000 miles so your stuck with it as is, or have to buy a new one to get the actual miles....
you can just slap it in and have you title branded to "actual miles unkown" but this will hurt resale.

don't know for sure, my info was based on when I bought a euro cluster for my 337, the instructions
stated that to instal and set a VW/Audi Cluster, I needed a dealer 1551/1552/5051 (VAG-COM in my case) to burn the milage, it had to be done within 1000 miles of installation (it was new) and that the value had to be entered in Kilometers since the cluster really "thinks" in Kilo's and converts to miles... I'll try and dig up the instruction sheet....

Got this from the Ross-Tech website
Q: Can I use VAG-COM to roll back my electronic odometer?
A: No. A brand new instrument cluster (with less than 100 km on it) can be rolled forward, one time only. Of course, this assumes that the instrument cluster is "diagnostics capable". Not all instrument clusters with electronic odometers are.
