Gauge cluster swap

Hey dkotoric, I swapped an F-Sport gauge cluster into my 2015 Base IS and can confirm that reprogramming the new cluster to match the vehicle's mileage is required. You will need to disassemble the F-Sport cluster, de-solder the EEPROM chip from the main PCB, read the EEPROM, modify the HEX values to represent the correct mileage, program the EEPROM, solder the EEPROM to the main PCB, and reassemble the cluster. I'm debating whether or not to write a detailed tutorial on how to do it (depending on if people seem interested). I am also thinking about programming and selling F-Sport clusters with people's requested mileage.

Honestly the cluster isn't all that great. the graphics are bland and low res. you can tell it's a budget screen and its buzzy and loud when it slides over. i hope the next IS has a full LED/LCD high res sharp screen. Just have the speedo digital instead of a motorized one which is prone to fail.

Wondering if you guys know by any chance if I would have any issues installing a cluster from a 2016 IS200T FSport with Navigation in my 2016 IS200T Base without Navigation. Not sure if the navigation does anything or if there will just be a navigation menu that I wouldn't be able to use?

My IS has factory navigation and the cluster I bought came from a vehicle with factory navigation. There is a blue connector on the back of the cluster that is used for navigation information. I’m sure the cluster would operate, but you may have an error message and/or an unusable navigation menu.
