Instruments cluster swap from '99 to '00+ AND Ecu with EDC15

[blazeBG]

Hi friends! has anyone here done this before ?
Swap an 2000+ instruments cluster in 1999 toledo ?
Mine is 1.9 AHF '99 and i want to chance instrument cluster, because this one



does not support TCS, which i'm trying to fit into my car.

And how is the situation with replacing my ecu with EDC15 ECU ?

You can have a problem with airbag system. Airbag diagnosis is diferent between 99 instruments clusters and others.
Airbag system turn on his diagnosis light, you can turn off this light but here (in Spain)it isn't allowed in ITV (MOT in England)

Well it seems that you have very strong regulations in Spain.
Here in my country you can do whatever you want with your car. There are few modifications, for which you have to pay only once to be approved by police, like some fancy paint job, and some engine modifications, like NOS , but this taxes are funny....around 30 euro.
We even don't have engine numbers written in cars documents. I can put engine from some truck for example and there wouldn't be any problem if i can pass Car Technical Inspection every year, which check only brakes, lights and emissions.

So, i'm prepared that i'll have some major problems with this, but i will try. I have some ideas, so if i come to success i will post it here. Otherwise i'm waiting any suggestions Thanks.

Hi blazeBG, as jdaguilar said, there could be some problems with the airbag telltale. It could be solved by modifying the layout of the dashboard, but it requires some electronics knowledge.
If you want to disable airbag telltale from the instrument cluster, it os necessary to substract "2" from gateway (module 19) recode.
Keep us in the loop!
