![]() Sorry for the newbie questions but had no luck using the search feature.
I have a brand new 05 Saabaru 9-2x and the gauge cluster looks pretty wack. Green? ![]() What exactly is involved if i wanted to swap in a STi cluster that lights up red? Bolts right on? Trip to the dealer needed to match the odometer reading? Is there any other option to change out the nasty green color on the cluster? Thanks! Alan

![]() Well when your coming from a car that actually has nice interior lumination, the saab's green is pretty fugly. Looks like something from the 80's.
Thanks for the link on changing the lights. I might go that route if the STi cluster isn't plug and play. |

![]() It should work but you'll need to go to a specialty shop to get the mileage changed. I think that the only thing that won't work is the outside temp gauge but I could be wrong. You'll need to do a search on the shop to go to, to turn back the mileage as I no longer remember but I did read it on this forum.

Is it expensive to get the odometer changed to a different mileage if you were to buy the new one? I guess i didn't realize they could do it... the last post i had read about it you had to get a peice of paper or sticker or something like that that told the 'real' mileage. |

Yes you'll need a paper to verify the real mileage on your car before anyone will dial back the mileage for you. You should be able to get the paper from the DMV. But like I said before you'll need to do a search as to the company who can dial the mileage back for you. IIRC it was around $100 but I can't be sure. |

![]() So lets say i buy a brand new Sti cluster, it would be plug and play right in to a wagon with only the odometer now indication "0" ? What about if the wagon is an auto?

![]() Thanks for the info
![]() Besides the odometer being off, is there anything else to doing this swap on a 2005 auto wrx wagon (saab92x)? I would assume the shift indicator thats normally on an auto cluster wouldn't exist but that doesn't matter to me. |

Answer is YES it would. It will work on an auto, and there have been rumors that the DCCD lights will become your new shift indicator. No facts though... Before you go off and buy a cluster though, I would recommend you pull yours out and take some pictures of the plugs on the back. It looks like the STi cluster has changed the plugs for the late 05 model year, so you might want someone on here to take a look at your stock cluster and see what plugs it has. |

If he went with a used one then you would be wrong. The used cluster would keep the milage from the old car on the odo. |

Here, I will help you. ![]() At the top, you can see where he asked "what if I buy a brand NEW cluster?" You eff'ing quoted him and said NO. Either you don't know what you are talking about, or... reading comprehension > you! You are supplying this gentleman with incorrectly placed information. You are right, if he bought a used one the mileage would reflect the car it came out of, but that was not his question numbnuts. <----- Has an STi cluster in the grocery getter. |
