argh...i missed that thread. Thanks!

 

you should take this on as a side job... i will but an 05 and 03 cluster and send them to you... just name your price.....

 

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...

 

bump!!

 

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.

 

you guys really like that gauge cluster of the 06? I hate the amber color, I wish it was white or blue. It looks cheap being amber

 

lol that's great if u want to lie about the mileage of ur car.. just change out the guage cluster

 

glad to see that this finally got somewhere this def was not an easy task. Congrats

 

I finally got some 06 Gauges and want to start this project. ($90 on ebay w/ pigtails ) How many of you have done this mod successfully?

 

haha i was looking at that same auction but then i already have a set

 

bumping up a old thread.....has anyone else done this project lately? please hit me up with a pm on how to do this and if you have parts for the project. thanks

I can seem to get a hold of Aorbeta...has anyone heard from him?

Thanks!

This project seems interesting. I may end up doing this too.
