Cuadro Brabus Smart 451 A4519000800: ID y compatibilidad

The Brabus instrument cluster A4519000800 is a factory instrument panel for the Smart fortwo 451 generation, distinguished by its higher-reading 200 km/h dial and Brabus styling. You identify it by the part number A4519000800 marked on the unit and by its Brabus-specific face. It fits the fortwo 451 platform, and when buying used the key thing to verify is the odometer reading shown in the seller's photos.

What makes the Brabus cluster different?

The Brabus cluster stands apart from a standard fortwo 451 cluster in two visible ways. First, it carries a higher-reading 200 km/h dial rather than a conventional scale, matching the sportier Brabus positioning of the car. Second, it uses Brabus styling on the instrument face — the trim and finish that signal a Brabus-specification interior rather than a base model.

These details matter when you are sourcing a replacement, because a cluster is one of those parts where two Smart 451s can look similar but take different units. If your car is a Brabus specification, fitting a standard cluster changes the look and the dial, so identifying the correct A4519000800 unit up front saves a return.

Where is the part number A4519000800 located?

The OEM part number is marked on the instrument cluster itself. On Smart and Mercedes-family components, part numbers of this A-number format are printed or stamped on a label or moulding on the unit — typically visible once the cluster is out of the dashboard, or on the housing.

When you buy used, you should not have to trust the listing title alone. A good listing shows the part number in the photos so you can read A4519000800 for yourself and cross-reference it against your car. That is how we list this unit: with the OEM number, cross-references, and honest condition photos of the actual part. You can view it on the product page.

Does it fit my Smart fortwo?

This cluster is for the Smart fortwo 451 generation. If your car is a 451 in Brabus specification, the A4519000800 is the matching cluster. Because clusters vary across trims and production changes, the safest way to confirm is not to rely on the generation name alone.

Send us your VIN before ordering and our team will confirm fitment the same day, checking your car's factory build against this part. If the VIN and the part number raise any question, we would rather resolve it before you buy than have you fit a cluster that turns out to be wrong for your build.

What should you check on the odometer before buying?

On the Smart 451, the mileage is stored in the instrument cluster. This has a direct consequence when you buy a used cluster: the unit arrives showing its own stored reading, which is the mileage of the car it came out of — not your car.

So before you buy, ask for a clear photo of the current odometer reading on the cluster. An honest seller will show it. This is not about suspicion; it is simply that the number is part of the unit. Whether and how that reading should be adjusted or coded to match your vehicle is a specialist question — mileage matching and coding are not something to improvise, and the right person to answer it is a Smart specialist or a coding technician. Treat the photographed reading as a fact to plan around, and get coding advice from someone qualified.

What are the general install notes?

Install specifics belong to a workshop manual or a Smart specialist, but at a general level a cluster swap involves working around the dashboard trim and the car's electrics. As with any interior electronic work, disconnect the battery before you start, and remove the surrounding trim carefully to reach the cluster fixings — Smart interior trim uses clips that are easy to break if rushed.

Beyond that, resist the temptation to invent a procedure from a forum post. Coding, mileage handling, and any immobiliser or security interaction on a cluster swap are exactly the areas where a qualified technician is worth the visit. Buy the right unit, confirm the part number and fitment first, photograph and note the odometer reading, and leave the coding to a specialist.

FAQ

How do I know the cluster is genuinely Brabus?

Look for two things: the higher-reading 200 km/h dial and the Brabus styling on the instrument face, plus the part number A4519000800 marked on the unit. A listing that shows the part number in its photos lets you confirm both before buying.

Will the used cluster show my car's mileage?

No. On the Smart 451 the mileage is stored in the cluster, so a used unit shows the reading from the car it came out of. Ask for a photo of the current reading, and speak to a specialist about coding and mileage matching for your vehicle.

Can I fit the cluster myself?

Basic removal involves disconnecting the battery and taking off the dashboard trim carefully, but coding, mileage handling, and any security interaction should be done by a qualified Smart technician. Confirm the correct part and fitment first, then get specialist help for the coding side.
