I just got this back from my sign guy.

I thought they could use some paint so...

I'm sending the gauge cluster out to garage1217.com to do the lights in white and I'll post up as soon as I get them back.

Has anyone tested their Xb without the gauge cluster installed to see if the Xb will run or to see if their computer throws any error codes.

If so what issues have you seen? and is there any work arounds?

I am also looking for what type of code reader I can use to diagnose (read error codes) the computer system.

The reason is that I want to replace the gauge cluster with something else. The other option that I have is to overlay the new system over the top of the old cluster and keep the stock gauges installed and operating.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the mileage & other data is stored in the gauges, so it won't track anything. I seem to recall reading that people have sent their gauges off to be customized & drove around w/out them...

According to the Scion Dealer if I remove the gauge cluster the Check engine light would turn on, but should not affect the operation of the Xb. But for $54 I can bring it down and they will run a diagnostic on the vehicle to verify this as they have not tried it as of yet.

I would be losing the MPG calculations, but that is what math is for, right!! sneaky

Looks  good, brooooo   good  job!!!  I  see  that  you are going WITHOUT  the stock face behind  your new one..  Have  you  tried it at all WITH  the stocker in there  just  to see  the difference??  You really should try it, now  that  you have something to compare it to!!  let us know!  keep up  the good work!  jh
