Does anyone know if the gauge cluster is different between NAV & non NAV models? I do realise they are different between automatic vs manual models.

Also are the clusters the same among the 4 and 2 doors? I am looking specifically at 03-04 models.

Also is the 05-07 cluster swappable with the 03-04, or are other modifications needed?

Thanks

 

-apparently the NAV clusters are different than the non NAV
-05-07 clusters cannot easily swap into 03-04 cars without heavy modification

has anyone been able to make non-nav clusters work with nav cars? any way to feed info to the oem nav system from a non nav cluster?

thanks

 

an 05+ heads up would be nice, considering that I got a new engine from infiniti I should look around for one with low miles

 

I have a 2006 g35 sedan rwd 5 speed originally non nav car but I got the nav system parts and made my own harness and system works but:

cluster data lines seem to be dead (didn’t check if cluster has them 3 pins on the board)

I did add the 3 pins into the plug and connected it to the cluster.

the nav unit does have a flash rom error in control unit so I’ll be looking for another one without the error I hope.

I connected everything wire by wire to the locations instructed in the factory workshop manual using oem fuses and routed the new harness with the oem harness so it looks nice.

so far I noticed the fuel economy screen is blank and I don’t get a notification on nav screen if I’m driving and open the drivers door this is why I’m guessing the cluster isn’t sending data to the nav unit unless the nav unit has an issue because I’m getting the flash rom error in diagnostic screen and diagnostic does not even run because of the error.

any info on this would be great.

ps maybe Infiniti needs to reflash the cluster to let it know nav is installed to enable the 2 data bus wires but I’m only guessing
