    Default vn calais dash

    will a vn calais dash/ cluster fit straight into vp berlina without mods. not worried if odometer works or not mainly just the speedo tacho and other gauges.

    Long answer yes.

    VN/P are interchangeable.

    As long as both clusters are out of V6s (or both out of V8s etc)

    Without the odometer and as long as its out of the same engine car (V6 or V8) Yes it will.
    You may have to move 1 or 2 wires for the different lights depending how old the VN Cluster is.

    Just remember No odometer isnt legal and plus you dont get all the cool Gadgets that come with fitting a Calais Dash.

    Stealthy odometer wont as it requires the 4th connector to receive reading. Vp1 there is quite a bit involved in installing one into a vp so that everything works. I suggest you read the sticky at the top of this section. If most of that goes way over your head i can do the switchblock mods needed. I also have the full conversion out of mine for sale

    Oh my bad, i assumed he already had a Level 3 dash, and was just getting a new cluster.


    Thats right, all 4 gauges will work, none of the trips at the bottom will (hence no odometer)
