RHD Vitz RS cluster

[Kioshi]

I see. Would there be any solution to this, lets say if I installed ABS on my 07..?I think there was an option to do, not quite sure..

Now what really has me sparked is....if i took Gideon's or anyone else's 08 base cluster ( with speedometer only) and tried it on mine..would it work? Since you said 08 ECM sends signal through Brake Actuator..and the 07 sends through transmission speed sensor. And I'd like to see if thats the case~

This is a CVT cluster from the RS. It works flawlessly with my manual tranny, the gears are accordingly done. I took 3rd to 6000rpm, no flaw what so ever..

EDIT: Just read your post about the tach working through the CAN....

I am thinking that the simplest solution to the speedo issue may be to pick up a newer ECM.

I am very curious as well about trying a newer USDM cluster (ABS equipped) on your 07.

I'm totally an idiot when it comes to these things...

Could you obtain the ECM part number by any chance?
And is it something a dealer will only do or can i have tuner shops do this as well?

I will have to arrange w/ Gideon or anyone else in the Bay Area to let me swap out for 5 mins to try the 08+ base cluster..
Advocate, fmicle, ezhacker, can one of you be nice enough to let me do that for 5 mins? I will buy the person lunch (seriously)...

I would try the cluster swap test first. If the speedo doesn't work, then I'd start looking for an ebay or junkyard ECM that is off of an 08 with the same type of transmission. Ideally, you'd want to first try the cluster in someone's 08 that doesn't have ABS. (Or, if Gideon doesn't, then that's already been done.)
