All of this is true! EXCEPT CDM cluster is plug and play, YES it fits USDM and The mileage is stored in the cluster not the ECU

Yes true, And to answer your question better I have both HB and SD and did the same with both I had them installed for about a month or 2 took them off and stored them until the warranty passes don't really want to have any trouble and it marks everything perfectly in KM compared it "SD MPH to HB KPH" and "HB MPH to SD KPH"

Not easy it was like a part-time Job on Ebay and a little help with the saved search. I even got emails after the bids offering me about $50 to $80 over the price to resell I decided NOT!
