Liftback - Easiest Way to Get a Tach and Cruise Control... - Page 4 - Toyota Yaris Forums

^^^^This is just an educated guess but since those are digital and N/A is analog I don't think a simple swap will do. I believe the wiring is different, I remember a thread awhile ago about this, I think even the Canadian spec with tac won't work for a swap with the U.S. because of the different set up as far as wiring, but don't quote me on that. Yes they are the same size and what not its just the internal configurations. Maybe someone else can confirm this

Check this one out. Its an LED display that connects to the OBDII jack and mounts directly into the dash. It can display RPMs, current MPG, etc. The best part that I like about it is that it allows you to see the computer diagnostic codes when there is a problem. All for $169

Lucky it wasn't a Altima 3.5... you would have gotten spanked in that case, the VQ V6's are mean, my I30's got a 3.0 and I can stomp V6 mustangs all day... in a luxury sedan.

I just did a little research, the V6 Altima was not an option in 1998. So it was two 4cyls going at it. His was a 5spd. Felt good though. He never mentioned a thing about our race ever again.

leaving out the tach saved them a few dollars and they raised the price of the LB another 100.00 its now 11,050 .

kinda reminds me of my old 90 cavalier.... manual everything, no tach, but it even beat the Yaris on non-included options... it didn't have a passenger side outer rear-view mirror! Seriously, that was an OPTION at the time!

If you can't drive a manual without a tacho, then you have serious problems.

The digital dash is overrated. You can have mine if you could take it because I don't think I've ever actually looked at it whilst driving in everyday city driving. The only time I've actually needed it was on a racetrack which accounted for so far <0.005% of the distance I've covered in total this year. Even so, the digital dash is useless except the speedometer part. The tachometer in it increases every 250rpm increments anyway but I think it goes down as the engine speed increases. I don't know what it is exactly. It's really really overrated. If you want one, buy a TRD one that mounts on the front console lid.
