I've decided to go for a very different look for my interior, so I'm putting the stock gauge cluster back in and getting rid of this. I bought this used a couple of years ago with about 5,000 miles on it for $325 which seemed reasonable. It currently has 63,443 miles on it, but you can take it into a Toyota dealership and have them correct the mileage when you put it in your car.
Works great with no problems, and the amber light looks pretty cool at night.
Looking for $235 plus shipping, obo.

* note, when I bought it, I noticed one of the support brackets had been broken at some point, but the previous owner fixed it pretty well. I've taken this out of my car multiple times for wiring jobs, and the bracket has never shown any stress.

The dealer won't change the mileage, but will put a sticker on the door frame and notify DMV of the discrepancy. There are third party services (including myself) that can reprogram it.

This would also be a good opportunity for someone looking for a color other than orange, as I can change the color to anything you want.

I want to put a tach in my car. My 2009 LB MT doesn't come with a tach, will this work with the MT?

Yes. Clusters are not specific to AT or MT.

Ah, thank you CTScott for the clarification. I was under the impression (from a couple of years ago) that the dealer could do it. But hey, I prefer supporting individuals instead of dealerships.

I've always thought these clusters would look awesome with other colors, so get creative. Here's the link to CTScott's instrument cluster led color change service: http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45129&highlight=color+service

Bump.

I'm open to any reasonable offers, but they should be reasonable.

Sweet.

Will this be "plug and play" or do I have to wire the tach as well?

I'm really interested in getting one of these. :biggrin:

Straight plug and play. The whole swap process from start to end takes me 5 minutes if I'm going kinda slow. Remove the two trim panels on both sides of the radio and hvac (with the hazard light button and the seatbelt light), gently remove the bezel around the gauge cluster, remove the two screws holding the gauge cluster in (and be careful to not drop them down into the belly of the dashboard), disconnect the two plugs, and remove the gauge cluster. Reverse the process to put this one in. Make a note of your mileage and trips, so you'll know the total mileage on your car later on.
