Ill take a set of the wheels on the back ground
You know that thing has the actual miles of the original car that it was on and it will not read yours ( miles) unless you take it to a dealer with the right tools. Other then that its awsome having the tac.

With how many thousands of Yarii that have been sold in the USA, why do people insist on getting Canadian ones with KMH? Baffles me.
Another guy did this recently out in Arizona and for the life of me, I couldn't understand why. A tach is not necessary for these cars, but if you want it and tanking the resale value on your car is worth it, more power to ya.

The reason I want a tach is because I run 1/4 at least once a month. My car is turbo if you did not notice. Im tired of hitting the rev limiter every time I shift. Also the reason for getting a Canadian cluster is because they had tach's in the HB since 2006 & the US models with tach's were from 2008+ S models which are very rare. As for the resale value, if and when I decide to sell I can always reinstall the original cluster.

What would I need to adjust the mileage? I saw a USDM cluster w/ tach on ebay awhile back for $50 and I would have gotten it, but the mileage was off and I was told by a Toyota mechanic that it wasn't going to be as easy as it sounds...

Changing the mileage requires reprogramming a EEPROM IC on the cluster. It can't be done using the Toyota Techstream service tool, so most dealerships order replacement tachs with the mileage pre-programmed for the car that it is going into. There are speedometer repair shops that have the necessary equipment to do the programming.

Installed and working. Only issues:
1 The color it lights up in, amber, didnt think about that, oh well no big deal, Ill change the rest of the car to amber
2 Airbag(right side top), ABS (right side bottom) & a mystery indicator (bottom) is on, solved it by taking the cluster apart & covering the indicator with a permanent marker. Check engine is on cause I do not have a catalytic converter.

It has to be from a Hatchback, if not it will not work. Toyota mechanics as smart & well trained as they are will always say it work work until they try it.

instead of changing all your lights to amber why not just change the gauge color?

Its easier to change the color of the A/C controls than the cluster.

If I remember correctly, that indicator on the bottom is the handbrake indicator light. It shoudl turn off once the handbrake is disengaged.

why is youre airbag light on?
I have the same cluster as you (amber from an Vitz RS (canadian version) and the only two indicators that stay "ON" are...ABS light and (!) brake light...

All valid points. I noticed your car was turbo, it's definitely a hot ride. I wasn't trying to be a total doucheface about it, I was legitimately asking, and thank you for actually responding instead of just :rolleyes: like the other meathead.
I don't like how they light up amber either. I have an '09+ and the lady has an '08. I like her cluster better, but at least my amber matches my radio and air con. Hers is white/green. Odd. Keep the resale value thing in mind though, because you can't just swap back to the old cluster and then sell the car. The old cluster won't be accumulating miles on it while sitting on the shelf in the garage. I see this answer a lot when cluster swapping comes around and I wonder if people actually think of this.
Then again, I guess if you're turbo'd and all that warranty-voiding jazz, then incorrect mileage isn't really going to deter you. Again, nice ride.

You have AMBER because this was pulled from a Canadian RS model. The non-RS models are exactly the same display, except they are a WHITE LED instead for the back lighting.
