The gauges on the 08 are also shaped and colored differently than the 09

well luckily this is not time sensitive so any time it's found it'll be ok- my dealer will reset the odo btw to match my ECU so I'm good to go when I find the part. Thanks for your help Mike- I do think these are hard to find but I'll keep at it because I just don't care for the aftermarket look- as nicely as some have done it, it's just not my style.

At least your dealer agreed to reset the ODO. I just called mine and was told they can't do it, that they're programmed from directly from Toyota. What a bunch of BS. Oh well, I guess I'll have to live with the lower mileage on the new cluster!

[Lewis]

if you can get to Crystal Toyota in Greenbrook you'll be ok Mike

don't know where you are in our fair state

:-)

[MGargano]

Hmm not sure where that is. I'm in Middletown, which is central NJ, close to Sandy Hook area.

[Lewis]

Green Brook is Somerset county 5 miles from the county seat in Somerville on route 22

the humor of this situation strikes me today- you have the cluster and i have a dealer to reset the odo- between us we could do one car properly

LOL

[MGargano]

LOL. Looks like that dealer's about 40 minutes from me. I'll have to give them a call.

I did get my car there so that might have helped me with this issue- They fussed a bit about it before relenting- just like they did before shutting off my seatbelt chime via their computer hookup.

Good luck- they seem a bit better than most dealers to work with.

[MGargano]

Any idea who you talked to? After getting transferred to three different people, I was told they can't do it either.

[Lewis]

It was a middle aged guy- forgot his name- the service manager.

I think your best bet is to just show up there- and ask for the manager- it'll take 5 minutes for them to do it if they agree. The damn thing is that's the way I got their ok - phone was hopeless- when I thought the crook who sold me the cluster I just returned sold me one with a tach- and it had no tach after all.
