instrument cluster-TACH "S" model - Toyota Yaris Forums

Lewis · 07-20-2009, 09:36 AM

A humorous situation exists IMO regarding the Instrument cluster on the 2009 models that happens when marketing, not engineering drives product- a noted Toyota foible.

You can only get a tachometer in your OEM instrument cluster (persumably because it's the better grade car) on the S model.

The problem is that the S model now only is available (per the Toyota website) on the 5 door hatchback which itself only comes with an automatic.

Sooooooooooo........if you have a manual transmission - where you could use the tach- you can't get a tach- but if you spring for the S model- you get a tach - which is essentially useless- because it only comes with an automatic transmission!

I discovered this silly situation when I attempted to buy the cluster from the 2009 S from the dealer and discovered the cluster would only be compatible with an automatic transmission Yaris!

Great judgement marketing department!!!!!!!!!

they were before the ABS symbol was added

would never want to lose THAT

My '09 "S" manual trans (3dr) came with a tach + ABS. Gotta think the cluster's swappable...

chibipod · 07-20-2009, 02:57 PM

Hey - you're right. Just checked the Toyota site and you can't configure a 3dr "S" MT. Dropped? I love my car even more now.

i put the s cluster in my 09 3dr liftback. easy as pie, just needs the correct miles programmed on it.

If I can ask, where did you find the 09 "S" cluster, how much did you pay, and how do you get the mileage programmed?

mikenacarato · 07-20-2009, 08:18 PM

i got it from the dealer and paid 230 (save your breath people i know i can put an aftermarket one in for about $20, i just wanted the oem one), i didnt have it programmed yet and im not sure how much it will cost, and im not too worried about it anyhow.

RomGrr · 07-20-2009, 08:56 PM

Be sure to save your paperwork. If you ever get accused of odometer fraud you can use your receipts to back up your word.

$230 actually doesn't sound so bad. Any chance you have the part number so I can try to find one for myself? Also: 1) Does this work with the MT. 2) Does it have the 2 indicators for cruise control and the one for fog lights?

mikenacarato · 07-20-2009, 09:26 PM

here is what ive found. all 09s are abs. both auto and manual share the same cluster. they have all the indicators. there are only 2 part numbers for clusters, the regular one and the sports "S" one. the part number is on the box at home but the guy looked it up and said its the sports cluster. i also went through my work and we have a wholesale account with my local toyota so your price may vary.

Treyz · 07-20-2009, 11:01 PM

Enough talk .. we need the part number lol. I hate not having it.

Then again, I can get a Scangauge too.

I have the Scangauge II and an aftermarket tach, but I'd much rather have an OEM cluster with the tach... much neater looking

mikenacarato · 07-20-2009, 11:08 PM

thats the reason i ditched my aftermarket tach. ths oem one looks like its meant to be there!

mikenacarato · 07-20-2009, 11:10 PM
