I think when you receive it you need to come up to Connecticut with it to test it out and figure out the wiring to get the ambient temperature, etc. fed to it.

That is a very kind offer CT- if and when it arrives safely from OZ I intend to take you up on it.

You've forget more about auto electronics then I'll ever know!

And I still think your solution makes great sense for many of us- I would love to not have to have my car reprogrammed by the dealer after this is done to get the kph to mph and the odometer correct.

I guess I'd refer to this solution as "the high priced spread".

But I do think some people can and would pay the price for something spiffy and unique and if this works out - it will be both!

Now for daily breakfast updates until it arrives- many bagels and coffee I imagine- any one know how long it takes to recieve a package from Australia? I guess we're about to find out.

You mean *poof* as it magically inserts itself perfectly into the car, adjusts to MPH and his odometer, and displays "please drive me!" right?

i like this cluster, but i think the total price for everything including getting it flashed is going to throw a lot of people off the idea

There's no need to reflash unless you want to. However you probably want to swap Km/h for Mp/h.

I think so. This could be bigger than the tree lighting at Rockefeller Center.

Update:

Got home and there was a FedEx package on my doorstep. Got excited as I knew what it was, it was my 2nd hand NST pulley from tk-421 from Mexico. After opening my package I decided it would be a good idea to use the same wrap on the cluster.

So I wrapped up the cluster in wrap, then in bubblewrap I bought previously today. But alas time got away from me and the post office is now closed. I will have to ship it tomorrow.
