Can you try something with alfaobd to see if the tiles can be brought up? This is the only thing we didn’t try because the settings weren’t discovered until after the 23 bcm and radio were already swapped in.
In your backup file, on the line item that starts with 620132, can you edit your digit in the position in the pic below to a 6, and restore your configuration with that edited backup file? If it’s going to do anything, it will take a few drive cycles to happen. The theory is, the buttons might not matter and the voice recognition button should bring up the tiles without having to swap in the specific switches for the digital cluster, but nobody has been able to try that yet either.

I retract my advice, go with @Jimmy07's cluster if it's still available when you are ready.

Right?! Only thing I can think is the $1500 starting price is keeping people away. $1200 is basically the market floor for these things right now.

Ok I did this change. So we can log all variables I have a 23 UC5 radio and a 23 Digital Cluster. When I installed the 23 radio on my 21 the voice recognition button worked but the answer call and end call buttons stopped working(I don’t use them anyway). After making this change the voice recognition button now does nothing and the answer call button now does what I’m guessing the button does on a 23 and up.

 

[Quietpeen]

So the tiles and that aren’t available or maps and such. Just gauges? Pics please

Here are some pictures I took today. @OnTheReel can give you pics of the customized cards.

 

[Quietpeen]

a few more

Here’s some random pics of the pages you can only get with the 2023 BCM. You can configure the number of boxes (tiles) and what is in each one. Each one also serves as a shortcut. For instance clicking OK on the driver assist box brings up the dedicated driver assist page and so on:

With the 2023 BCM AND radio you get the map which is pretty self explanatory and the album art which is pretty sad honestly. I’ll grab a pic of that later.

Ok, one more thing if you haven’t already switched back: did the audio controls on the back of the steering wheel still work?

I guess the only variable left is trying that with the correct left switches for the digital cluster.

Already beat ya to it! Just came in today too

Ok, if you can try the same as above with the new switch, I guess we have all options on the table.
