Instrument cluster swapout help

[JudgeM]

I sent a message to the seller. He says that this unit is definitely from a manual transmission model. He said the meter wont work properly until its "coded"

Does anyone know what is this "coding" he is talking about ? I would like to avoid going to any specialist at the moment. I am hoping I could do everything with Techstream.
I have researched about coding and could not find anything.

I doubt the wiring is different across regions. Half of the meter practically works.

There is no such thing as "coding" a cluster. I have experimented with Japanese, Australian, and European clusters on USDM Yaris without issue.

The only reprogramming would be to adjust the odometer, and that can only be done with a EEPROM programmer, as TechStream can not do so.

Speaking of clusters: Hi Scott, I have been interested in doing swaps since i started driving almost 2 decades ago.

I realized that only the US has LHD Yaris/Sedan, and so only your clusters there are going to fit in our cars here in Manila. Unfortunately, I've also noticed that your clusters have a different plug underneath. (the other one is the same though--the pic showed by the OP has the plug positions interchanged, but are the same nonetheless)

Q: assuming the pigtail harness is included with something I purchase from one of your junkyards, and rewiring is done, will the lack of the other wires from Asian (Philippines/Thailand) Yaris Sedans still make the cluster work fully?

The bottom left plug is longer:
US:


Asian:

I never noticed that for the Sedans that you get the same connectors as the liftback. On that giant connector D76 on the US sedan there are many unused pins, so it is not like the US one has many other connections to it.

I believe that a US one with the correct connector and lengthening the wires to reach the opposite sides would work fine.

Great, thanks Scott, although the "lengthening of the wires" isn't necessary as we are LHD here too. Yup, the sedans and hatchbacks here have the same plugs here, and so do your hatchbacks there. (was actually surprised why, and your sedans don't)

Sorry OP for a bit of hijacking the thread.
