2005 GXP gauge cluster in a 2000 SE?
does anyone know if i can put a 2005 GXP gauge cluster in my 2000 SE? i've read about switching the small board with that stores the milage
i will also get the new DIC buttons, does the just hook right in to my connector for the buttons there already? right now it is just the E/M, Trip Reset, and Tire Pressure Reset
thanks

It has been done, but there were glitches including constant low coolant light, and readings on other gauges off. (Software problem)

Heres an update: I picked up an SSEi cluster from Morad with the DIC buttons too
it has a few burned out lights which i plan to really look into soon, but when i switched the milage chip the DIC didn't come on anymore, just blank screens, so i had to keep the original chip in
the top screen works correctly except for that the compass doesn't work, it goes through the directions as startup but then says compass with no direction
the bottom screen works correctly except that the select and reset buttons don't work, then i compared the switches, the original has 5 pins, the SSEi one has 7 pins, and my wiring connector has 5 wires, does this connect anywhere where i can add 2 more wires?
and anyone have a Tech 2 that i could borrow? i'll pay you to use it

another update here: i've been looking through my FSM and found i need to add 2 wires from the DIC switch to the cluster, what is the best way to do this? ripping into the ribbon seems impossible, any other ideas?
