Been looking around the forums and internet and can’t seem to find anyone who has done a gauge cluster swap on an FR-S/BRZ/GT86 for the AEM CD-7 Digital Dash. Specifically trying to prepare for any issues I might run into with effectively deleting the stock factory cluster given I worry that the ECU might have some issues with that cluster not being connected. Anyone with experience doing this or some guidance on where I might find some more information would be great!

Since the AEM just connects to the OBDII port, you could just keep the stock gauges plugged in and hidden in the dash.

Most of this wont be a issue maybe if you have a racecar.. but replacing cluster other then that will be pretty hard. Im sure im forgetting a couple of other bigger things but a lot of issues. Lastly.. OBD2 is not the same as canbus. So although is supports obd2 you still need a way to replicate the canbus system,Completely different.

Given all this and my desire to keep the car street friendly, I am going to look to figure out a mounting solution to get my dash attached to the steering column sitting in front of the stock cluster. |

Hey geraldjust, since there's almost no information about cluster swapping the on the internet would you be willing to go into more detail into the AEM swap? Perhaps a tutorial or some kind of instructions if its not too much to ask?

As explained above, unless your running a aftermarket ecu, you cant do much of the advanced functions or replace the stock cluster. If your willing to mount your CD-7 on top of your existing cluster then get the OBD2 kit you can get with your AEM. But then its pretty self explanatory.
