  1. If the touch up paint from the dealer is a perfect match, you can fix this to be almost not noticeable. You just keep adding layer after layer to fill in the chip. Once it is filled a little past the void, you can wet sand it down smooth to the finish and buff it out. I had to do this to mine, unfortunately the oem pearl white is not an exact match to mine.
  2. Well, if there is no wire on the back of the head unit for reverse and it's auto sensing, then it sounds correctly wired. As far as the rear view in that you say is audio, I'm assuming you mean an rca jack that is the video input for the camera. Once the camera has power, it will send video. Can you upload pictures of the wiring diagrams for the camera and head unit? I could guide you better with those. EDIT: I found the wiring for the head unit. Do you have the purple wire on pin 3 of the head unit wiring harness? If so, that need to be hooked to the reverse wire as well. That sends the signal to let the head unit know you are in reverse and display the video input from the back up cam.
  3. Which wire did you splice In? The camera itself? Did you hook up the wire from the head unit to the reverse wire? Does it even have one or is it auto sensing the video input? Does it need to be enabled on the head unit?
  4. I would have to double check what I had do. I know mine doesn't interfere with any mounting. I would have notched it or extended the holes where there were tabs to make it work as oem if that was the case. I don't remember having to do that.
  5. I haven't taken my bumper off since but, I don't see it making it any harder to do so. My lip is bonded to the bumper with 3M body adhesive though. No screws or push tabs
  6. This won't fix the issue. The switch goes straight to the cluster and is just for menu access and features. It in all actuality it electrically disconnected until you push the buttons. The airbag is info that is being sent via CAN bus. I don't remember if he had an airbag light issue or not. But changing the airbag won't fix it unless you actually have a problem with the airbag. The dealer absolutely can't program the mileage on this cluster. Even if you have one fail and order it brand new, they just put a sticker in the door noting the mileage differance.
  7. The mpg and temp gauges are both analog signals. The wiring at the plug is the same for them regardless of how the gauge cluster is laid out. The new cluster just has a digital representation of the mpg and an actual gauge for the temp instead of the red and blue lights for high and low temp. The signal is still the same.
  8. There was something about these clusters that made it so they can't change them with their tool. Even most places that do the mileage programming couldn't do it. The guy on here that had it done had to search for a bit to find a place he could ship it to. I think they open up the cluster to get at the chip that stores it and they flash it with the new mileage.
  9. If I'm not mistaken, the wiring may already be there for them. You would have to buy the switch and I believe the rear shroud for the steering wheel. Then install them. There is no programming needed for them. If for some reason the wiring/plug is not there, then if I remember correctly you only need to run one or two wires up to the cluster. If you have to do that then I also believe you have to add wires to the pin locations for them. I only think you have to add them for the years that that cluster wasn't an option. Its been a while so for the older models you have to come up with a way to get the wiring through the steering wheel. Either an spare wire in the clock spring or change out the clock spring for the newer one.
  10. It won't recognize the gears on a manual. I helped someone on here get one in their manual. These clusters are designed for automatics only. We were able to trick it to show the gear we wanted but, it caused even more of a Christmas tree of warning lights do to the extra module needed for it. It's all pretty much done over can bus communication. I highly doubt the transponder would ever revert back. It's stored in the cluster and I have not heard back from the guy who did it with any issues. I was gonna do it to mine but it will be an expensive conversion I don't want to dive into right now. At least to do it all the right way.
  11. There is a place you can send the cluster to have the mileage reprogrammed. I can't remember where though.
  12. The whole car? Why? For protection? I liked the ziptied bumper but, I guess if you need the clearance.
  13. I kinda like it. Looks like it screams MOVE BITCH GET OUT THE WAY! lol.. Makes me wish I'd kept my older legacy when I didn't have to worry so much about every little scratch.
  14. She's dirty but, summer shoes are back on with the new lugs!
