Seems like electrical fault.
Loose connector or something like that...

i have the same problem with 4 cars now. sometimes they blink, sometimes they don't.

either after replacing HU and proxy alignment, or retrofitting CC, or activating parking sensors.

If the blinking appears only sometimes and disappears after key OFF-ON... then the problem is not in PROXI alignment.
This is an indication of bad connection somewhere.
If the PROXI has failed or performed incorrectly then the Odometer will ALWAYS blink.

Basically, every time you turn the key ON the body computer does a CAN validation procedure (which takes up to 4 seconds). It connects to every module and validates the PROXI configuration data. If some module fails to connect or has incorrect configuration or there is a new module or there is a removed module then the odometer starts to blink.

yani, please trust me on this one. it cannot be a bad connection when i did not do a thing. i just activated parking sensors display and then it started to blink deactivated and it still blinks. but only sometimes. and this not only on a single car.

on the first car i just fitted the CC stalk and this happened but it blinks only sometimes. i will try and change the CC stalk with another one and see what happens.

thank you

LE: how can i see if it has incorrect configuration?

Just check condition of battery. Or replace it. When battery is uncharged or very old, to start engine is enough of power. Then dashboard cannot check all modules connected by CAN. If this procedure is stopped by starting engine, which need very much energy from battery, then odometer is blinking. It is very often in Multijet engines, which need very much of power from battery when started.
