New Owner Looking for Some Answers
Hey everyone, just got myselft a 05 Civic VP with the D17A1 1.7, it's a black 2 door and it's a 5 speed, i was wondering if i can put in a civic ex dash cluster with the tachometer, please be specific, im very new to these cars. I just came from the world of turbo dodges, had myself an 86 GLH turbo Omni and i burned plenty of hondas so i wanted to see how the otherside lived.

Are you in Canada? I dont know a VP but it must be the equivalent of the DX in the USA. I am almost positive you can swap the whole thing... the 04-05 LX and EX dash cluster are identical. I think the only difference is the LX is Blue outside and red needles and EX is mostly Red gauges...

Hey everyone, i purchased a 03-05 Civic EX 5 speed tachometer instrument panel off of ebay, so i tore my dash apart and popped the new one in, but when i turned the key nothing, it doesn't even notice its there, the door buzzer won't chime, no lights no nothing, i know a guy at the dealership and he plugged in the honda scanner and tried the body/electrical scan and it didn't even reconginze the car. SO putting an EX gauge cluster in the DX is out of the question, BUT know i have another, i found a 4 bubble cluster for 01-02, they have separate fuel, water temp, speedo and tach, would this possibly work.

Sorry Guy,
my bad, I didn't realize you basically asked the same question again in your own thread. Yeah, I know what you're feeling. Most people won't answer if they feel that you haven't researched it enough on your own. This forum isn't as bad as honda-tech forum is. This forum still has plenty of friendly's around, you just have to be patient.
