Hey Fellas,
I just wanted to know something real quick.
if my commo doesn't sell in a month im keeping it.. so im still going along with mods as planned.. anyways, i have a 1 window cluster currently, and i was wondering , if i bought a FULL 3 window cluster, and plugged it in would all three windows work straight up, or would i need to do something to it?
Also, what happens to my ODO, does this change with the new cluster?
Thanks
raZel

Ahh ok, well this is a VT S pac , so its no exec, but its no Calais at the same time,.. some of the wiring should be there as wen i looked under the bonnet for the fog light wiring , it was all there, so hopefully its there.

Also, i heard 2 things , one being that if you buy a Cluster with a reading under 100,000km then you could get it changed, also. Cars from VT ondwards you could jst plug the new cluster in and it would work im jst trying to find out if these facts are both true!

Thanks

The cluster will plug straight in but then you have to get it configured by a Tech 2.

as others have stated, the only thing you have to do is have your odo set. :)

Everything else works fine(in an SS anyways)

the odo cannot be altered with Tech2 if its over 100km not 100,000km
it will plug straight in & work but needs to be configured

A speedo calibration shop will charge around $100 to change the kays to what your original one says.

I thought all you had to do was plug in the 3 window cluster and it works?
I wanna do this to my missus vt.
