Short and quick: Can I change the cluster in my AUIII Factory LPG-only Forte to an XR or high-series cluster? If so, how?

It's not bringing up any search results?
I'm guessing the LPG wording etc will show up on most clusters that I could put in the car?

The only issue is the LPG. The signal may not be the same.

I read your little writeup cougermoon -- it's actually what got me started on this
I guess I'll put this on the backburner until I have a hundred or so to spare, just incase it doesn't work properly.

Yeah, after doing it i don't think it was worth the trouble really, i mean it looks great but it wares off pretty quick and it was hell trying to do it all with the little knowledge i did have.
If i had my AU time over i wouldn't touch the inside, my focus would be some external mods and everything else on the donk, the inside of any AU is perfect IMO Good luck Will
