Does anyone know where I can get an instrument cluster for a 2006-2008 A4? I'm importing a car from the States and, although the cluster has km's on it already, I want one with km's as the primary gauge so it's easier to eventually resell.

Does anyone know where I can get one? Are they difficult to install? And how do you reprogram the mileage once you get one?

 

Do a search on Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market
you may be able to get a used one. If I'm not mistaken, the instrument cluster has to be recoded by the dealership for immobilizer purposes (I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure I read on AW that you have to do this).

 

Local stealership quoted me CA$1400 for the A6 They dont replace just the speedo faceplate....whole kaboodle!
Looks like i might have to pay this if i want it - like you i prefer to have the KM/H faceplate and not the Miles/h plate. Thankfully it should still go thru inspection with the current plate - me hopes....

 

That's ridiculous. I guess it's their way of making back some of the money they lost from people importing cars from the US. I'm pretty sure you can find one used through a junk yard or car parts place though. A bunch seem to be available for older model cars, but not for the new body style. I wonder if they're the same.

It will definitely pass inspection, I just want it because it will be easier to sell the car a few years down the road.

 

It's time everyone gets on the Metric System....

 

Why not keep the american one.. it's not really all that hard to read mph..

 

Yeah after having 3 US cars in a row I am so used to reading the smaller km/h gauge that I do not even notice it anymore. Besides, if someone loves the car, that little nuance will not deter them from the sale. Miles on the other hand...lol

 

I can't believe you read the smaller markings... When I turned 16 my parents got me a car that my great aunt had kicking round for years that i loved, a 1969 Merc Meteor.. only one demonination on that gauge.. MPH.. lol.. i loved it.. drivin 30 35 on a city street makes it kinda feel like you can blow by most people.. lol.. i dunno i just got used to it.. i never really check what the actual unit crossover was back then, i kinda just felt the speed.. as most any driver can.. at least i would hope so.
