Im thinking of changing my 09 cluster to a jdm cluster. I am worried that when i sell the car in the future the miles will be different and there will be a problem when selling the car. If the miles are saved on the ecu then yes but if its only saved on the cluster i am fine. Can anyone that knows for sure help me with this question? Thanks

 

Do you have any sort of inspection, because if you do, you will not pass since the US still fails at not moving over to the base 10 metric system and the JDM cluster only displays in km/h and km.

 

No inspection here.

 

First of all, I could have sworn I saw a cluster that displayed in English, but was on the right side of the dash and utilized the [JDM] red-themed readout -- as opposed to the USDM blue-themed display. Yes? No?

I too thought about possibly buying one of the red-themed [JDM style] clusters just to pop in once in awhile for something different. Don't get me wrong, I like the USDM blue theme much better... but the red would offer an interior change every now and then. Wasn't sure if it would even be possible/practical though.

Also, 555, isn't the actual JDM cluster arranged differently than the USDM cluster? I mean, wouldn't the tach/speedo/etc. be in the opposite positions of the USDM model cluster? Never really payed attention to that.

If you have any clue where I may have seen the red-themed [everything else USDM] cluster, please let me know.

Also, I checked the price out on College Hills or Bernardi (or somewhere) not long ago, and was surprised to find the clusters are definitely NOT anywhere approaching cheap! I mean outrageously expensive!

Whatever, great idea the OP has!

 

Would it be possible to just swap the sheet of plastic with all the measurements on it instead of the whole cluster. Or is the cluster sealed.

 

i was under the impression the cluster is not plug and play. everything plugs in and lights up, but the gauges dont actually give readouts. i thought about doing this too. if you do, make buddy buddy with your service tech cause a lot of places report mileage during tune-ups to carfax now, and if your carfax read TMI (true mileage unknown) you'll be screwed.
