as the title states... has anyone swapped an 2006 cluster into a 2005 sucessfully???

 

Cluster? 2k6? Incomplete senstences and odd abbreviations make your post confusing.

 

here's a translation:

Has anyone swapped a 2006 TSX instrument cluster into a 2005 TSX.

I'm pretty sure the answer is no.

 

I'm sure it can be done.

 

You mean you've enver heard of 2k as a representation of 2000? Sheesh! I didn't find the post confusing at all and I'm usually a stickler for proper grammar in posts!

As for the question asked by the OP (Original Poster -- that's for you, Roffles), it likely CAN be done, but you'd have to look into the details of bypassing or just not connecting the MID which Acura added in the 2006 models.

 

^^ making use of all the new features?

I wouldn't think so... the MID's are TOTALLY different... which would probably mean that the ECU that controls them outputs different data...

I REALLY feel good about my 2006 after seeing all these posts about 2004+2005 people wanting to re-engineer their car to become a Faux 2006...

 

QFT.

 

Wtf Bbq?

 

"QFT", internet slang meaning "quoted for truth". This term applies on forums and posting boards where users can edit their posts, thus the QFT holds the poster to their original statement. It is also used to express agreement with a previous poster's statement and validate its veracity.

Google Much?

 

Thanks for the lesson. I never actually looked up what it stood for. I usually try to come up with my own explanations for those acronyms. Whenever I saw QFT, I always thought it stood for "Quit F-in Trolling". I learned something new today.

 

well... picking up a "2006" cluster and gonna start the wiring process soon...anyone with the helm's wiring diagram of the 2005 and the 2006 instrument cluster that doesn't mind sending to me... that would be wonderful!

 

Just buy the Helms 2006 ETM. It has all the wiring for 04, 05, and 06 models, with the differences between them. This book has proved useful to me over and over again.

 

SO, after all this expense and trouble, what will you REALLY gain?

 

 

personal pleasure knowing that i was able to do it... i like testing myself

 

go for it

 

yeah...but your rims are ugly...hahaha jk jk...............NOT!

 

May I humbly suggest you join the Navy and see the world.....?
