you can just change the guage cluster to the JDM amber lighted ones, change the climate control and other gadgets. its easier then changin the entire dash.

But if you still want to change the dash. Might aswell put in a Integra dash or a Del Sol dash. They look 20 million times better /sportier then the ugly EG dash.

man dont bother with all that effort of removing and re-installing the EG dash !!!

teggy dash etc in EG is a waste of time IMO, but can look OK.

I agree with whoever said just swap the guage cluster and climate controll.. but he climate controll wont work unless you swap out the WHOLE under-dash heater/fan (etc) system. the AUS heater/fan controlls are cable operated but the JDM Climate controll is electronically (servo) operated.

it is possible to swap over the black face and different icons and re-use your existing heater/fan system with no loss of functionality, but will look identical to the CC unit.

The eg dash is the ugliest dash that honda's brought out.

nah I completely disagree.. It's FUNCTIONAL.. not the prettiest, but everything is in perfect ergonomic position etc. it is clean and flowwing accross the windscreen without any gimicky smoothed out bumps and stuff.

one thing tho, the vents aren't too durable HAHAH

but the dude who started the thread asked about swapping EG5 dash for EG6...

In answer to the following *keeps on topic*

An EG dash is exactly the same to bolt in , BUT climate control ill not work As you need the EG6 ECU to control this feature. Other small electrical items such as bumper pole, TCS etc need the JDM ECU.

so even if i swap every single thing from the eg6 dash in, it still wont work until i get the jdm ecu....

Yep.

AFAIK , AUDM ECU eg5 ecu's do not have an option for climate control - ALTHO can someone tell us if MAYBE later EG5 vti's ( 95 model) had this ?

So yes, you can bolt in everything but it will just be extra wiring off the loom and nothing on the ECU to plug it into.

'95 Vti does NOT have climate control, only a/c.

*bennjamin edit* Keep it to PM guys.
