Instrument Cluster Swap
My lowly Yaris 3 door does NOT have the factory cluster with the Tach included.
Has anyone anywhere ever done a swap from a basic cluster to the one with the factory tach? I'd like to know if or how this is done and how to keep the mileage correct as well. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? |

here again..

well...there has been quite a few thread about this... First of the factory cluster is very dificult to find right now...once in a while Ebay has the but they are gone before you know it and besides most of them are for the Canadian HB such is in KL not ML, also the plug for the harness is diferent from what I heard, now, you can try to get the cluster at TOYOTA but it'll cost you a wooping US$600.00+ (I checked :p), about the milage there has been a few discution on that the actual reading is stored in the actual car ECU and not the cluster...if that's the case then it should update the new cluster as soon as you plug it an turn the car on...now the Toyota tech that I spoke to could not confirm it and since the cluster like I said before, no one has been able to get the original US version this is rumors and opinions, hope this helps and if you get to try it...please post it!!!

Yup, my '09LB has that amber optitron cluster. I miss the white backlit cluster on my '07LB.

Thanks for all of the responses.
Now Since we've started to establish that the mileage is stored in the cluster how would one spin the odometer to read someones current mileage? Years ago all one had to do was get a drill and spin the odometer. I'm thinking though that it may be a different approach though. Also wouldn't it be a simple swap from the Amber lights to the White Lights in the cluster? |

my approach.. You would have to have a special ecu, so you can send the 200kmh signal to the cluster and wait... till it goes over the 1million miles/km, and comes back to 0 and then wait more to go back to your mileage. my guess is if it is just a couple thousand over your current mileage, hehe you would have to wait helluva long time to get your mileage back :P ok, maybe there is a way to PROGRAM that thing, but my doubt is very high on this even 1 (ONE) person said the dealer would do it. |

Yes true, And to answer your question better I have both HB and SD and did the same with both I had them installed for about a month or 2 took them off and stored them until the warranty passes don't really want to have any trouble and it marks everything perfectly in KM compared it "SD MPH to HB KPH" and "HB MPH to SD KPH"

Not easy it was like a part-time Job on Ebay and a little help with the saved search. I even got emails after the bids offering me about $50 to $80 over the price to resell I decided NOT!

Cool....last couple of questions....is yours auto or manual? Does it make a difference in your opinion? Guess I'm looking for complete plug and play and the type of transmission not making a difference.
