Push the button above the clock and it should go to a dimming option(3 bars i think).could be a good bartering option you may have started up Tony!! A cluster for aftermarket parts!

.....Kioshi- it was fine with me to read this here because remember Australia is right hand drive too so your experience may be all too relevant to the OZ cluster.

Furthermore if my experience in recieving parcels from Europe is any indication it might be a good while until I'll be writing about how the OZ cluster works out.

I can just update folks on bagels and coffeee for so long before they die of boredom.

*MAD DOG* · 10-15-2009, 06:19 AM

Tic toc tic toc tic toc. Counting the seconds as they go by.

Lewis · 10-15-2009, 07:26 AM

Update- no bagel this morning, but a nice cup of tea. Oh by the way- package not here yet.

Qantas forgot to pay their fuel bill?

Or perhaps the cute little Koala Bear ate my package in the cargo hold?

My arrival prediction- any day day now!

Kioshi · 10-15-2009, 12:08 PM

You guy's didnt get a tracking number for this?!

Lewis · 10-15-2009, 12:18 PM

Never got one from Maddog......not sure if it was available.

Kioshi · 10-15-2009, 03:22 PM

you should be able to get a tracking number option when shipping from any country....just have to tell the original sender or the second (in this case, Mad Dog)...i used tracking to ship to CTScott just because I dont trust the assholes at the post office....$15 tops...

International shipping should be at most $35-$40 tops, as I have shipped an expensive item to a friend in Japan to her obscure house address... and package got to her within a week :)

Tracking was available, but it was another $20. I sent it registered post and have my receipt. There is a barcode on the receipt.

Lewis · 10-15-2009, 04:59 PM

The pot will boil when we stop watching it Kioshi.

:-)

Before too long poor CTScott will be struggling with both our our clusters!

spookz · 10-15-2009, 06:26 PM

Does the AUDM digital cluster get the 'Auto-Dimming' as well? I don't think I've noticed it before. Let me go and try. So I'm assuming there's a light sensor installed somewhere for the the auto-dimming to work?

advocate · 10-15-2009, 08:21 PM

I have to agree that seeing CTScott's awesome knowledge makes me envious I didn't finish my electrical engineering degree.

Ah well Software is more my style anyways =)

Can't wait to see the results on kioshi's and lews' clusters!! wooooooooooo!

BTW i think it's time for a new bagel update Lewis.

It auto dims when the headlights are switched on if you enable that mode. It doesn't do smart dimming with a light sensor.

*MAD DOG* · 10-15-2009, 10:41 PM

Scott,

When you get the Oz Cluster you will notice that it has a display area that says what gear your in, mpg, distance to empty, etc. But for some reason it's not switched on or does not seem to work here. If you could figure out a way (i'm sure you can) to make that stuff work that would be fantastic.

Lewis · 10-16-2009, 05:29 AM

Bagel update- no package from Oz (if you're married you know there are ALWAYS packages :-) ).

It's only been a week and Tony said the post office down there told him up to 3 weeks time so let's all try to be patient. It might take Scott a bit of time to get to it too- remember he just might have things like work, family etc. to attend to before he can get to his and our hobby projects.

We'll get there - as soon as is feasible- I promise.

Lew

Interesting. So, Oz cars don't get MPG. I wonder if EU cars with the digital display do?

Can you give me the part number off of your ECM? I have a feeling that the MPG is calculated by the ECM and is sent to the cluster.

Ummmmm WTF is ECM? Sorry i'm not a tech head. As for the part number of this ECM where would I find that?

Also over here it would be Kilometers to the litre Km/L as opposed to Miles Per Gallon MPG.

I'm off to bed now as it's Saturday 17/10/2009 1:06 AM.

The ECM (or ECU) is the main computer. It is mounted to the firewall, under the hood and has two huge connectors plugged into it. The part number is on a sticker. In this picture you can see ECM with its part number sticker (and one of the connectors unplugged):
