Re: aftermarket speedo

Yes, a shop can recalibrate the speedo if necessary. The pins I'm referring to are the connector pins on the cluster wiring harness. The colors of the wires will be he same, but they are in different positions from the Euro cluster to the standard cluster. You would have to remove the metal pins from the plastic connector in your car, and reposition them to match the order they are in the harness you cut from the cluster donor car. If you don't, it won't work. The alternative would be to splice the donor car's connector to your cars wiring, but I STRONGLY advise against it. The tach wire should already be there, it just isn't used in your car.
