Why do some Yaris sedans have a tach? - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

big lo · 07-28-2010, 01:33 PM

This all falls down to where a person lives, laws etc. It sucks, all cars should have a tach, one is more aware of the power in shifts etc, but thats the car business, you get it or you dont, its a scam, fraud, so we can pay more at least this is my opinion, I could be wrong thou. But the fact remains why oh why some models have this and that, all around it sucks.

But you have a liftback.

I have an automatic 07 lift back. It doe not have a tach.

I have been looking around the forum trying to find out if I can replace my instrument cluster with one including a tachometer. would it be plug and play or would i have to wire the tachometer in.

If anyone has done this you help would be greatly appreciated.

There are at least two people on here who have swapped it successfully. I am pretty sure they didn't have to do any custom wiring.

big lo · 08-15-2010, 03:51 PM

I agree theres no extra wiring involved but it need to be tuned or should I say checked buy a tech, the milage will not be the same, I ordered one and I m still waiting, sh!t happens, but it is a plug & play job.

RangerBEH · 08-15-2010, 06:55 PM

that is great news, that it is plug and play, i will start looking around for one.......

JumpmanYaris · 08-16-2010, 02:25 PM

I been having my cluster since Jan. With out a problem its just plug and play ppl the miles are going to be diffrent but it can be change with the right equipment go to the dealership and talk to them.

Anyone got a source for a cluster w/tach for a 08 LB?

Checking ebay and not finding any.

My 08 sedan came with a tach, not sure of its relevance in the Yaris, i can only assume its meant to look sporty/cool or to tell psuedo racer boi's what their rpm's are, real racers dont need a tach to tell them when to shift.
