Default Is the odometer data stored in the BCM?

I believe this is true, just wanted to confirm for a friend.
The BCM was replaced in his daughters car and later he realized the mileage had gained about 35K. Seems the BCM was replaced with a used unit.
How is the correct data reprogramed?

Hmmmm... if I'm not mistaken, the odometer data is stored in the IPC (instrument panel cluster), not the BCM.

On most Chrysler products, the instrument cluster only displays the mileage stored in the BCM.

Mike is correct. A friend of mine has a programmer and the procedure to change mileage on these cars is to take the IPC out and program it.
