OZ CLUSTER

[Lewis]

here I am on break from the wedding weekend

hoping CTScott is right and thinking maybe that 50-50 are my chances

i do so appreciate everyone's good wishes and help but i guess we all will not know until i get it and plug it in

the color is of no importance to me - i just hope it physically fits and functions properly as i can't see myself cutting up the dash to make this work out

and remember CTScott is doing everyone here a big favor because- while i'll have a unique and spiffy cluster if it works out- i'll still have to go begging to my dealership to get the odometer reset - while with CTScott's solution of replacing our clock with the tach - while maybe not as spiffy - the odometer will be fine as is

so when you add up the cost of the cluster and postage in Australia, then the postage to the USA (a hefty amount i'm sure) and then the stealership cut to reflash the odometer- this will definately be the high cost solution.

Might even end up rivaling the cost of a new Toyota parts "S" cluster before I'm done. The catnip here is having something unique and very spiffy.

I've been doing some more reading from the European service manual docs, and I'm up to 90/10 for it working. There are a couple connections that we'll have to add to pick up some features (like a two wire connection for the ambient temperature sensor). Those pins are not populated on the USDM connector, but we have the same sensor for the A/C, so we'll just need to tap it.

I also found that the digital cluster is configurable for Km or Miles (of course via the TechStream tool), so that's another big plus.

For fit, I really think it will be fine. Look a Crashy's open dash, I see plenty of space under the flat area for the chunk.
