Installing that cluster will invalidate your mileage as far as any aftermarket warranty is concerned; good luck proving mileage.

FYI, some speedometer shops may be able to re-calibrate the gauge cluster such that the numbers will refer to MPH instead of KPH, and the odometer will read mileage.

(It would still be best to hold-off on the swap until after the extended warranty has expired.)




Of course, a 200MPH speedometer may be a little over-optimistic.

I see, i guess if they could match the mileage on the Cluster with what the computer registers, it would be alright. But yeah you never know what they might throw out the warranty for. Also the Spedo reads only to factory spec which is 180kph, so it will just look like its going fast.

Hehheh, you caught me guessing, I thought it topped-out at 200KPH.

But you get the idea; 180KPH would now actually mean 180MPH without changing the face of the gauge.
