FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, you miss a few days, you miss alot.
I've actually been on the site, but haven't check this section, until Aorbeta PM'd me to wake me up (so to speak) LOL.
I'm extremely IMPRESSED Aorbeta! You took the idea and literally ran with it!
Well, I've got the cluster, but what else am I going to need? I'm sure you'll list this in the DIY?
THANKS MAN!
Thanks to everyone that contributed (me, the idea and that was about it, LOL!) Sorry guys, a new baby and a new job kind of steal your time away...

Thanks for the reminder, I've been meaning to do an update. Since the last time I installed the gauges I've purchased another set of gauges. This time the gauges are a set for a 6-speed and also I managed to get a set of connectors with flying leads so it will allow me to make the inline connector I wanted to make in the first place.
The 6-speed gauge set will get rid of the "service engine soon" light and "AT check" warning that I get because I've installed a set of AT gauges in my 6-speed coupe. The CAN type for an auto and manual coupe is different. It states in the service manual that auto is CAN Type 1 and manual is CAN type 2 or vice versa.
The mileage issue is a whole other story. It seems as though I cannot supply a false speed signal to the gauge set, tricking the gauges into thinking they are moving and clocking mileage to match the mileage on my car. Vehicle speed is actually derived from the VDC/TCS/ABS control unit and sent to the gauges in CAN format. There is no way that I can replicate the CAN format. The service manual does not go into detail with the VDC/TCS/ABS contol unit so I can't inject a false speed signal there either.
So at this point I will still install the 6-speed gauges and then go to the dealer to see if they can alter the mileage on the gauge set with a Consult-II.
