damn, I was following this, what did they send you?

mikenacarato · 07-09-2009, 04:43 PM

well i ordered what they called the "sport cluster" which had a tach listed as a feature, so i know it will be right. it will be here next week. they said it does NOT need programming and it should swap right out.

mrbond · 07-09-2009, 05:38 PM

^ you ordered this brand new or used?

heeroyuy01195 · 07-09-2009, 07:36 PM

Can't wait to see the results, best of luck to you guys and thanks for being the ones to test this all out!!

AlexNet0 · 07-09-2009, 08:56 PM

^I wouldnt be happy either, lol.

If mikey can post the part number he used, Id probably look for one too, that would be so sweet.

mikenacarato · 07-09-2009, 10:41 PM

i will when it comes in. i dont remember what it was. i ordered it from the dealer so i know its gotta be right.

I remember reading warnings about loss of odometer reading can occurs when the car's battery is disconnected. Warnings to involve the dealer when disconnecting the car's battery. The dealer can handle reprogramming the odometer when the battery is reconnected. So my guess is if you replace the gages and the new odometer reading is wrong, take the vehicle to the dealer and have the odometer reprogrammed with the correct odometer mileage.

^ if this was the case all the guys that have changed there leds would have experienced this issue and after do them in mine the odometer memory remains.

i have the new S cluster in my car ready to be installed tonight.

mikenacarato · 07-15-2009, 07:34 PM

here is the final verdict!

everything swapped over fine and plugged right up. it WILL need to be programmed though as the miles will NOT carry over. not sure about 08s but thats the case on my 09.

CTScott · 07-15-2009, 08:54 PM

Did you get an 08 or 09 combination meter? Also, what is the part number on the one you received?

Sodium Duck · 07-15-2009, 09:09 PM

Very cool. Please keep us updated when you get it reprogrammed -- any obstacles that kind of stuff.

Sodium Duck · 07-15-2009, 09:10 PM

And pics!

n2oinferno · 07-15-2009, 09:21 PM

Absolutely fantastic news.

mikenacarato · 07-15-2009, 09:34 PM

i got an 09 cluster. there were no problems installing it at all, it was very easy and took about 10 mins or less and you only need a phillips head screwdriver.. ill take a pic later tonight for you guys and post a pic of the box with the P/N.

Interesting. The 09 service manual doesn't mention anything about reprogramming. In the replacement procedure it does mention disconnecting the battery (but then again it does for replacing anything electrical).

You may want to try for the heck of it disconnecting the negative battery cable for a couple of minutes to see if perhaps on a cold boot the ECM and the combination meter do some type of a sync.

mikenacarato · 07-15-2009, 09:53 PM

ill go do that right now and let you guys know here in a few mins. im at work so i cant upload pics or anything because of the blocks.
