Default Ya, I noticed that. I'm slow today. You probably can't swap clusters but if you wanted to you

could try. That's the only way I can think of.

Issues would be:

1.) Different cluster manufacturer?
2.) Different odometer reading
3.) Different dimming curves/Back lighting color?
4.) Possibly the pre 99.5's didn't have a door status bus message to be read by the cluster?

Default The only way i can tell that my doors are open are by the console lights center..

I think that sucks that it takes about 15 seconds for them to shutoff..no doorbells ringing... but i guess this display is cool to have for an upgrade..
