How to Swap an Instrument Cluster
Vložit

- Here's how to rewire the dashboard to upgrade the instrument cluster to work on a Toyota Camry.
The instrument cluster on older Toyota Camry models (2002-2004) are a plain, printed gauge face that have small writing, dim and generally difficult to read. The instrument cluster from the newer 2005-2006 model is a back-lit LED instrument cluster, that has larger font, intuitive gauge placement, is clearer, brighter and easier to read and lends a huge upgrade to the interior of a somewhat otherwise plain Camry.
This video demonstrates the elaborative re-wiring process that one must undertake to make a conversion harness (or repin the connectors) to get the new cluster to work properly.
References are made to the Toyota repair manual and wiring diagram, which can be found here for the 2002 and 2005 Toyota Camry:

Once the wiring diagrams are compared, a conversion harness can be made with some pigtail wires and female connectors from the junkyard. The wires are labelled, stripped and soldered to the corresponding pin on the female connector.
Furthermore, the rheostat is swapped in from the newer car to allow the panel to dim when the headlights are turned on.
Note: When swapping clusters, the engine type must be the same between cars in order to have a correct tachometer reading. As demonstrated in this video, a 4 cylinder cluster's tachometer will read too high in a V6 car.
Finally, the last step is to reprogram the odometer, which is stored in a 93c56 EEPROM chip behind the instrument cluster. It is desoldered and set on an EEPROM reader, where the HEX characters representing the odometer reading are altered to match that of the original mileage on the vehicle.
Please refer to this thread for more on Toyota odometer reprogramming:

Disclaimer: It is illegal to misrepresent the mileage on a vehicle at resale. Any cluster that is swapped must be programmed to correct mileage information.

90% of the channels i'm subscribed to are some guy's disembodied hands explaining how things work or how it was made. I'm glad I found another one.
+HighFlyer thanks for subbing
Damn everything turning on in a certain order is hella cool
It should be a law that instrument clusters do the guage sweep at startup. That shit is awesome.
+John that would be cool! I believe in some clusters part of the diagnostics is the weep to make sure the needles are working properly.
plug and pray LMFAO
+mobiblu07 oh yes...I didn't even bother checking each wire after all that soldering!
Turns out I only misplaced one wire for the fuel gauge.
@@speedkar99 You are the man when it comes to these clusters.I learn alot from you👍...
You could make those harnesses and sell them on eBay for others wanting to swap
I know this is a late comment, but wow thank you so much for this video. The new instrument cluster looks gorgeous😍
It's so much better! I enjoy it to this day.
Man you are a genius ! If I show this to the garagists they run away, or try to sell me a new car.... Where do you live ?
Glad to see they are running ads on your videos!
+Tripp M good to know that myself! Thanks
So deep explanation.... I wanna be your student....
No problem. I have 180 videos for you to learn from 😉
speedkar99 I'll do this experiment with my bro's car and if I still breathing after that I'll watch your all videos :)
men oh men that looks awsome in your car
+Kamal El Abbady it sure does improve the look and feel of the car!
love my prelude clusters light up green blue on their own
+NotAsian Cool, what generation?
4th gens! its a shame they went back to analog for the 5th gen preludes
Can the xle mpg readout be swapped to a le? The one that goes on top of the radio where the clock and temp is

You are a genius hacker! great work uploaded.
+Andaleb Gover thanks
Great job, as always!
+Irving J Saucedo Mohzo thanks for the feedback
Wow I'm impressed. Good work
Thanks!
I need this done for my 98 protege 😄
What you swapping with
Glad you swapped that cluster it kinda bothered me you still had the standard one with that beautiful se interior!
+Car geek 101 Thanks, I actually bought this cluster before I bought my Camry in anticipation of the swap.
You can swap the non tach cluster for the cluster /w tach in a Corolla, easy peasy if you find one from the same year, if not they have to be repinned. I found the white face touring package cluster at the junkyard for $20 and the temp sensor for the outside temp display for $2.50
+John yes, I have a video on doing that upgrade, including reprogramming the odometer
Hallo sir please tell us something about you please 😊
I like you videos biggggg fan of you 😊
Is it possible to put a different instrument cluster for a car of different brand?
Great video! On my 05 Camry I noticed that the cluster isn't bright like it was before. It stays dim as if I had the headlights on. I also have the dimmer switch on it's highest. Any idea what's wrong?
Your dimmer switch
Awesome video! I am thinking of doing the same to my 03 camry ;)
Go for it! Just make sure u match the 4 cylinder with the cluster
@@speedkar99 Oh yes! I have the LE 4 cylinder one :)
Good video... I'd have thought that for 4 or 6 cyl tacho mode there'd just be a jumper setting to select it.
+Rybagz I know eh! They did this on the previous generation too between the Camry and ES300. Those 4 cylinder Camry guys didn't have working tachos because the ES300 only came with v6.
Hi buddy, thanks for the great video. Can you tell me which wire supply power to the instrument cluster? mine is 2002 toyota camry.
Check the pinout diagram, 02-04 is similar
Well, thanks I have another question, my instrument cluster was dead so I had to unplug and replug the main pins to make it works every time. So I don't want to replug it, it is a way to put a switch on it to make it works. Thanks in advanced
Very nice job
It came out pretty good
Can you help me with the diagrams and configuration for this project that you did, please, I am doing exactly the same thing and I ask you if you can help me. I tried to download them from CZcams but it no longer exists. Thank you very much for the help.
You link is empty 🥺
Determination always pays
It sure does. I love my new cluster
Very nice vid, well informed!!👍👍👍
+javier acosta thanks
Cluster was well worth it
I have a question when you replace a digital cluster does the miliage change or they stay the same ?
From my own experience in fiddling with cluster replacement the mileage change to whatever miles is in the replacement clusters chip.You have to send to a cluster company a signed affidavit of your original miles or send your factory cluster to be calibrated/clone to your replacement cluster.Remember its illegal to go back on your current original miles you only can match them or go higher.
Mileage stays with the cluster. Check out my other channel speedkar100 where I show you how to reprogram it
Would you make one of these harness and sell it?
Yes would you? Id be willing to pay for material, time and shipping!
A lot bigger job that I thought, simply thought it would just be plug in play
Hi, the wiring diagram you uploaded are empty, can you uploaded one more time or give me a link ?
Hey how’s it going man great video🔥🔥 Not sure if you can help me but maybe you can pointe me in the right direction I have a 2004 Chevy Tahoe and I wanted to swap in a 2006 Corvette cluster I’m having a hard time finding a wiring diagram and parts I need to put it together any help would be much appreciated thank you!!!!
You need to find the wiring diagram to get it to work, it's usually with the repair manual or available thru alldata or prodemand subscriptions
hey man i really appreciate your videos. i just need your opinion on somwthing tho. im planning on painting my dashboard. ive seen you spray paint on other interior trim pieces in past videos but never on the dashboard. Is there a reason for it? do you think it would be okay to paint my dash? or will the heat make the paint chip eventually?
It won't stick after a while. Try vinyl wrap, I tried it on Lexus ES
Do you think a speedometer instrumental cluster of a 2020 Corolla fit a 2009 Corolla?
I tried to get a 2019 Corolla instrument cluster to fit into my 2009 Corolla and it not a good fit. The 2020 Corolla instrument cluster doesn’t look like it would fit into a 2009 Corolla.
However, if someone had an instrument cluster wiring diagram for a 2019 and 2009 Corolla...I would be willing to make a CZcams video on installing a 2019 Corolla instrument cluster into a 2009 Corolla.
Well done! Good video!
Thanks
Very nice 👌..
Can you make vedio for swapping instrument cluster for camry 2012 to camry 2016. Even if only explain that diagrams
At the end did the soldering metal had time to get cold and destroy the chip?
+KingTsunamy yep it killed it :(
So now I'm looking for another v6 cluster
Quick question I have the 2002 gauge cluster style the one you showed originally can you use led bulbs in that cluster I took it out but didn’t see anything ?! Please help
They already are LED but very dim. Time to upgrade to the 2005-06 cluster
Do you have a pinout diagram for Camry 2007/2008? I am trying to power it on to best functionality without the need to install/uninstall in the vehicle?
Thanks
Bro where is your school located ? For real!
+Forgive Repent at home. I take things apart and learn as I go. No school can teach you this.
I did an instrument cluster swap 02 Camry to an 02 Camry mine was made in Japan, the other car I don't know.
My parking brake light is on and abs is on.
And when you swap back those lights go out?
Double check the wiring diagram, they may have made a change in the US vs Japan made versions.
Hi bro, the folder is empty, do you have the other folder ?
Awesome project!
+Hamza Raissouli thanks
How much will you charge for the wired Harnest ? Lol I just don’t have patience to do it my self?
I don't work on other people's cars sorry
@speedkar99 Hey, so I have a question I wonder if you can help me with; I am in the process of swapping a Gen 5.5 Camry cluster to my Gen 5, and right now, I'm facing issues with the ABS light turning on since my car didn't came with ABS, and parking brake light staying on no matter if I disengage my parking brake or not.
I'm pretty much scratching my head now because I don't know what else to do, what do you think? 😅
Hmm that's interesting because I think the 5.5 all had ABS... So if there's no signal it's going to trigger the brake and abs lights to come on
Could you trace the wires that go to the parking brake and abs module and perhaps ground them?
Worse case is out a tape over the LED then close up the cluster
@@speedkar99 Hey!
So I looked over the diagram, it appears that they're not separate wires, they sort of run on the same circuitry. I also notice that while the Gen 5 cluster has a separate wire for the parking brake switch, the Gen 5.5 doesn't have that.
As for taping up the LED, that's what I've done for now, although I'd love to have the parking brake light haha.
I wonder if it would be the same for my mazda 2. The 2010 model has a white background and the 2012 one has a black one, i want the black one
See if it physically fits before electronically matching them
@@speedkar99 they do, i found out even the 2011 model had the black. Its the same car, it was made from 07-14" so alot of the parts are the same.
All this for a Camry lol. I do want to swap the gauge cluster from a gt86 into a wrx but I'm afraid it will be way more complicated than this
Ryan Wingate Camry or not it’s always worth it to the owner so why worry about the car
headgasket cope
do you have a diagram for this? been trying to hook up my cluster
If I get 2005 panel and harness willyou fix it so I can just plug in I have a 2002 camry
And how much would you charge me
No sorry
3:31 Can i work same harness to es300 cluster for 1999 camry?
+nbd959 Yes u have a video on that, see the link in the video, or search my Camry to Lexus cluster swap video.
At least on that you could swap eeprom chips without reprogramming, in this case the chips were different sizes so I had to decipher the HEX.
Is there any way to buy these ? Or the harness 😅
Is it possible it switch a manual climate control with an automatic one on a 2002 camry?
+Javid Jalim not easily. You'll need to remove the dash and change the climate air box.
Hi, could you provide a new link for the wiring diagrams? The download link folder is empty. Thanks!
Could you find the diagrams?
better still can i get the ready made wire harness for my Toyota Camry 2003
You can buy ready made harnesses?
@@speedkar99 just like the one you did on the video
Where did you get the wiring diagram for the instrument cluster
The service manual, found it online somewhere
What is that noise at 4:46 and 5:30 (not the seatbelt warning ding but the other one)
+1 1 dash cam
Did you manage to fix the actual kilometres on the gauge?
I have never understood the look of the clusters for the Camry from 02-04. To me it just looked very out of place for that car. The 05-06 Camry cluster was much better and looked more like it belonged to the car and it was much easier to read, especially at night.
Hello sir can you please make a video about how you made the eeprom reader please reply me
+MARTEN KHAN see the link in the video on odometer reprogramming
هذا الفيديو ممتاز لكن ياريت ترجمته الى العربيه
Thanks !
Hey I Got A Jeep Liberty 02 original Miles is 173k i bought the car n the dash said 135k idk with the person rollback or change the cluter i was looking for a new cluter on ebay cor $50 with $175k only 2 k miles more but if i dont want to program the miles can i still change it like taking the old one out n putting the new one or i need to program the cluter
+F&K Vlog's Yea
But the cluster might not be the only thing storing the mileage on chrylsers.
speedkar99 So I dont need to program the cluster just taking out the old one plug in the new one ready to go ?
+F&K Vlog's I'm not sure on Chrysler products if the mileage was stored in the body control module or the cluster itself. Check the Jeep forums, I'm sure someone has swapped clusters already
hello sir a little inquiry where do you find the wiring diagram of camry
+Laurence Lee Roceta it's in the video description. Enjoy
I wana put a 2012 VW Phaeton/Touraeg's instrument cluster in my 2004 Hyundai Elantra.
It's too much, i know.. but that's what i really want
is there a way to do like the newer digital ones into a 2004?
That's what this is...2004 Camry with 2005-06 gauges
@@speedkar99 I mean new like 2016-2017, sorry I should've specified
What happens RPM gauge Read over 2,000 rpm?
+Silent Partner12 it reads too high.
When I punch the gas, I can get it to redline at 8k which is kinda cool!
can you pls share the wiring diagram for both cluster panels V4 engine
It should be same as v6 wiring.

Swapped
It out and the gas gauge won’t work
You need to rewire. Not a direct swap
I have an 05, kind of prefer the 02-04 one.
But it's so dim
@@speedkar99 true or even the 6th gen cluster in the 5.5
I got 2002 Camry v6
Toothbrush God strikes again
+Brock Tyler yep without it I wouldn't have been successful in this swap
Can’t you just put a 4 cylinder one and not do all that work ??
Por que no pones los alambre por nombre para el que vea el video lo aga más rápido y fácil
How tf do you know so much? Is there a school that you've been to where they teach all this?
+Imteyaz Yousuf No, I learn by trial and error, by studying the repair manuals and wiring diagrams and going online to see how things work before I undertake things myself. The junkyard is the best place to learn from independently, no school will ever teach you this.
speedkar99 - damn bro, you know how much people are willing to pay for this stuff to be done? You could capitalize on this and maybe start a shop or something.
+Imteyaz Yousuf that's exactly what I don't want to do...this is my hobby and I want to keep it that way. As a job, this wouldn't be fun.
Ahaa, well, whatever suits you. Keep up the awesome vids it's really helpful.
Imteyaz Yousuf Bro I which I can pay him t teach me.
220 MPH on an 06 Camry? WTH??????????????????????????????????????????? =).
