DC5r cluster change = KM change?

[EK4R]

had a search, some say it does but i need to confirm

can you change the KM reading by just changing the DC5 cluster like you can with older cars (EK,DC2)

last time i checked, DC5 is digital, so i thought maybe they is a chip inside, and the KM would stay the same even if u changed the cluster :S

anyone can someone confirm?

i cant confirm if the kms reading will change, but yes, the dc5/dc5r has a digital readout for the odometer/trip computer.

The chip is in the cluster. you have PM.

[minircc]

your msg box apparently is full.. anyway, PM me if you would like more info.

As minircc mention....its in ur cluster...so if you change to a lower k cluster...you will have lower km's on it.....

just a quick qns.

is the JDM cluster compatible for AUSDM dc5r and dc5s ? is it straight plug n play or i need to adjust something?

[minircc]

I have a JDM Type R in my AUS DC5 and it works fine. Straight plug and play.

Changing your cluster to get lower kilometres can be illegal. When selling or trading a car in you must sign a statutory declaration stating that kilometres are true and correct distance travelled by the car. You can be sued for wrongful declaration.

If you're looking to change to get your kilometres changed I urge you to reconsider. You wouldn't like it if someone else sold you a car with false kilometres so extend others the same courtesy.

i wasnt asking cos i want to change a cluster. i dont even own a dc5. was looking at purchasing a dc5 and saw an unreal deal with low Ks so thought i would ask . anyways all good now, find out its fake thx to this thread :)

[m0nk3y]

if its too good to be true, it proably is.

[dc2dc2dc2]

how did u find out?

this thread gave away no hints ?

na i was just looking at the cluster he had on. i think it was a 00 model and the reading was below 40k. speed limited to 180 so obviously JDM. but yea had to check if things was plug n play etc.

anyways wen i asked the seller he said somethin bout previous owner did this n that...

JDM DC5R cluster got the " Type-R' in the speedo, but AUDM doesnt..
and sure 180km is from JDM i think...mine DC5R go over 200 and without the type-r word in the middle...

[minircc]

I didn't know DC5Rs came in 00 model..
