Subaru WRX to STI Gauge Cluster Swap

[@TooCHUwy]

Followed the instructions and put a 07 sti cluster in my 07 wrx in less than 20 mins. Most outstanding job ever thanks again for uploading this video !

[@petkokrushev3840]

Hey, does thr welcome sweep work and do you have the shifter light working with sound and light? Also dis you cut the C9 or you just relocate it?

Hi..how to replace the bulb for the word 'STI' in that meter? Or is it due to some wiring?

[@VinnieT]

I believe there is LEDs behind it, not a bulb.

[@AleskisFox]

My question is, I put this cluster from an 07 STi to a n/a 2006 Impreza, and I get a very loud continuous buzzing sound. What could it be the reason for that?

[@VinnieT]

See and read the full description for all the info, but here is what I believe you’re looking for… - Cut the C9 wire located on the right connector (i11). On the STi, this wire is connected to the buzzer and is normally ground. On the WRX, this wire is +12V and is part of the dimmer circuit. failure to cut this wire will result in the STi cluster making a loud buzzing noise. Hope this helps!

[@AleskisFox]

@@VinnieT yeah thanks for the info, I was watching this on a tv and I didn’t know how to open the description box, it wasn’t until I got on my phone that I read it, but thanks!

I did my STI cluster swap on my 2007 WRX and followed your guide and it worked perfectly fine I just have a question when i first installed it there was this loud noise or beeping noise that didn't go off and when i did the C9 connection to the other plug it went off however my radio doesnt work anymore is that beeping noise do to the Differential light because in your video you didnt have the noise, but you had the light on can you give me some tips please and thank you!!!!!!!

[@VinnieT]

Juan Ortiz sorry I'm not sure exactly why your radio wiring would be affected from this, I don't believe that the wiring crosses between the systems in anyway.

[@slowwrx0587]

question i put one in a 05 wrx my left side dont work as well got a plug and play adapter coming to make my left side work, but i turn my headlights on and it makes a constant beeping/ buzzing, is it possible due to not having the left side connected?

[@VinnieT]

Cut the C9 wire located on the right connector (i11). On the STi, this wire is connected to the buzzer and is normally ground. On the WRX, this wire is +12V and is part of the dimmer circuit. failure to cut this wire will result in the STi cluster making a loud buzzing noise.

[@rphan8866]

Will my mileage change to what the original mileage is, or will it be what the new cluster is at?

[@boo5847]

do you know what terminal b29 does i cut it and noticed my coolant temp wasnt reading so i put it back together and now it just dosent seem to work so idk if its that specific wire that i should ground because i didnt de pin b29 right i might of messed up the terminal so should i just ground it at this point

[@VinnieT]

B29 should be for the High Beam Light. So put your high beams on and see if the light High Beam Light appears on the Gauge Cluster.

Hey , does 2004 wrx wires are the same as urs ?

[@mcribb178]

Legend! Only video that helped me get this done. Different coloured wires on my UK car but apart from that it’s was so easy. Top guide, thanks! 👍 do you know if it’s possible to wire the C.DIFF to a c.diff switch/wheel? Obviously just to control the lights on the cluster?

[@VinnieT]

Rich Tully I’m not fully sure as I haven’t looking into this in a while, I know my dimmer switch when turned will dim or brighten the Diff light. I also had a guy tell me there’s a way to just make your own dim switch controls you have to insert it on one of the harness wires, but I wasn’t too worried about it considering just getting the cluster to work alone was a great accomplishment. To this day 7/26/2019, I still have the cluster running perfect with no issues, maybe down the road I’ll mess with it and add a dimmer switch and make a video on that, I may even go as far as changing the LEDs on the board to another color (probably blue) like I did to my scion TC, but that wouldn’t be for a while probably.

[@KevinMarois-vm9bq]

VinnieT8 Ok. I am currently looking at an 06 wrx. the owner did an sti cluster swap put he didn’t pick one with the right miles so the cluster says it has 175k miles. He said he kept the old cluster as proof that it only has 100k. Is this a possible situation.

[@Mik3Mcflyy]

Everything worked fine however, my abs light stays on. Any ideas?

[@evanriel]

If you have an 05-07 sti cluster in an 02-04 wrx, the electrical polarity of the ABS light is switched (meaning when ABS is functional the light is on and when ABS has an issue the light goes off, opposite of what it should be). So an easy solution is to purchase a small harness that reverses the polarity, Aaron’s Subie Electronics sells this. Hope that helps!

Ok so C9 is the wire for dimmer circuit which I will just need to wire it to B4 to avoid buzzing sound. so regardless of the wire colour, it is what it is. B28 is not really concerning because i don't use cruise controls." so other than that, as long as i shave off C plug, Version 8 Sti cluster should be plug and play into a Version 8 WRX?

Have you encountered or heard anyone who has experienced the same issue?

Hey Chaz, the DCCD light sometimes can be turned off by turning the dash dimmer control up or down (mine is on the right side turn signal switch). When I turn the switch it will either dim the DCCD or brighten it. As far as the STI lettering goes, I'm not sure but you're wiring may be different since the car is older.

MannyFresh1x I believe it's on the left hand turn signal switch there's a part of it that you can twist, it's supposed to be the Dim control adjust for your gauge cluster but instead once this new gauge cluster is installed, it controls the Dccd light, so just turn the dimmer all the way down and it goes out, or if u like to see the dccd light then then turn the switch on.

Honestly im not sure but google search it because I know many people out their have probs done exactly what your talking about

[@guadalupevaldovinos1647]

Did your mileage change on the sti cluster or did it update to old cluster mileage?

[@VinnieT]

No each Cluster has its own mileage. I bought the new cluster that had a few hundred more miles on it then what my cars OEM Cluster had, and then drove my car until I was at the same mileage, then swapped the cluster so I know exactly how many miles my car really has.

[@SweixNOR]

thanks mate

[@reganmcgrory3358]

Could i do this to my G3 RS 2007 ? MY08

[@VinnieT]

Honestly im not sure, it took alot of research to figure out just how to do this one. I literally spent probably about a week searching around.

[@UK300Prodrive]

Great video man, does needle sweep work ??

[@VinnieT]

Uk300prodrive yeah needle sweet works as normal, with key on engine off and on full start.

[@UK300Prodrive]

Perfect thanks bro. Gonna get a set for my bugeye prodrive then.

[@urbanecrowd1804]

I have a 06 Subaru wrx tr and when I turn the power on it just beeps none stop, what do you think it is?

[@VinnieT]

I forget what it was, google search that I believe alot of people have had that issue, its fixable I know that

[@benjaminhernandez3845]

I have that same issue did you ever get it to work Properly

[@lakiskater86]

Thanks man super helpful!

[@VinnieT]

+lakiskater86 no probs!

[@juanbrujo2010]

Great vid !!!!

[@Lepsche95]

Does outside temp still work accurately, and does the DCCD light stay on?

[@VinnieT]

+Bradley Veljanovski yes the temp is spot on, for both Engine temp and the outdoor temp, (wasnt sure exactly which one your speaking of but they both work great)

[@Lepsche95]

Yeah was asking about the outdoor temp as I've heard it doesnt work, cheers for that mate

[@Sxysuby]

+Bradley Veljanovski out side temp does not work after doing the swap . i did my sti cluster swap back in 08 and it doesnt read the outside temp anymore after the sti cluster swap

[@VinnieT]

this is an 06 wrx with an 06 sti cluster. its different, mine works perfect.

[@Sxysuby]

i forgot to mention that subarus that came with auto hvac will be the only cars that the OAT will work with a straight cluster swap . subarus with out auto hvac like my wrx tr will need to be modified . i just recently found this out from a member on nasioc who made me a wire harness and voltage regulator to make it finally work . read up on it here forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2704637 . im pretty vinnie you had auto climate controls right?

[@2cvallista]

I man, I have a Impreza Wrx Version 9 Cluster...do you think is the same? I have the same number of connector in i11 What u thinkin about? Thank's for the help :)

[@VinnieT]

Luigi Lacava yes I believe the version 8 and 9 clusters are the same wiring

[@2cvallista]

@@VinnieT Thank's Vinnie✌

[@VinnieT]

Luigi Lacava you got it man 🤙🏽

[@julianmiller7199]

hey man i have a 2002 wrx can i put a 06 cluster in that or not? Just curious. Sweet vid bro

[@VinnieT]

wrx or sti cluster?

[@VinnieT]

the wrx and sti clusters are slightly different that's why I ask.

[@julianmiller7199]

sti

[@VinnieT]

I would say research it online and see if anyone else has done it before you decide to just buy it and try it.

[@theprogrammer7819]

First of all, super THANK YOU to Vinnie!!! I just installed a 06 sti on my 02 wrx “manual/turbo”. Followed Vinnie’s steps and shaved the two plastic strips on the left connector in order for it to slide in. Relocated the orange and white wire. Then relocated the second wire but that eliminated something else, so I backed out of that one since obviously it was not the right move. Everything works except the ABS light is always on, the dimmer does not work, and the temp reads around 32 F which is fine cause I don’t have this on my 02 wrx cluster to begin with. I want to start by fixing the ABS light, so I found the wiring diagram for the ABS for the 02 WRX, and now I need to look for the same diagram for 06 sti so I know what to rewire to switch. I have limited time, so I will post my findings when I get to it.

[@jonathan.dasilva]

Do you know how to disable the dccd light? If not dont matter haah

[@VinnieT]

not really sure how to do it , but i found out that if you turn your cluster brightness switch down, it wont dim your cluster but it will dim the dccd light haha, its on the left stick where you turn your head lights on , further down the stick thing theres a way to lower the cluster lights, when i turn that down it dims/ turns off the light.

[@bambamaten2]

yo where is the link for the wiring diagram? thanks!

[@VinnieT]

+Sebastian Dammer I actually googled like a ton of different ones but this one seemed to help me out the most. www.sentinelit.com.au/misc/2005to2007_WRX_STi_cluster_swap.pdf

[@teghamalama6637]

Hey quick question I got the same 06 wrx and bought a 06 sti cluster but the thing is the Gas Gauge connection doesn't match up did you run into any trouble with this? Thanks in advance

[@VinnieT]

Watch the video fully through, you'll see that you have to swap some wires around. Also if you google 06 wrx gauge cluster swap with 06 sti, there are charts showing you exactly what wires to swap around. CHECK OUT THE DESCRIPTION ON THE VIDEO >>>>> I have linked the website showing which wires to exactly swap.

hey man can you pm me on twitter or something? few questions on your subie and what not

[@VinnieT]

I dont have a twitter but you can message me through KZbin private messages

[@ryansmits3300]

hey bro! i have a 2006 wrx and i'm trying to get a jdm gauge cluster. do i get the v7 or v8 cluster. idk if you could help but worth a shot. thank u!!

[@VinnieT]

If you have a 2006 WRX then its the same car as I shown in the video. I installed a Version 8 / Version 9 in my Subaru WRX. They label it on ebay as V8/V9. And the one I bought came out of a 2006 STI. So I would recommend doing the same model year swap.

[@jaironajera8591]

Do you happen to know if I can install one in my 05 2.5 rs?

[@VinnieT]

depending on which gauge cluster and what car it came from, im sure there is a conversion on one of the forums about it, somebody has to of had done it before.

[@jaironajera8591]

+VinnieT8 alright thanks man I'll look it up on the forums

[@VinnieT]

forsure! sorry I couldnt give you direct info, ive never searched anything up for the 2.5rs

[@jaironajera8591]

+VinnieT8 it's okay thanks though 👍🏻
