Not yet. Too many things going on and I keep forgetting.
I'll try to post it up one of these nights.
You can also pm me about it too if need be.
It just occurred to me those safety chime modules I posted may not plug into g6s older than 2009.5
But I think I found an alternative.
I'll update after more research.
Haha. Nah that wasn't it.
I never got one of those modules and tried it myself so I just assumed they were similar.
But why would they be of they changed the stereo completely lol
I just wanted to tell you guys some differences I've noticed with the new cluster.
First of all, the old cluster only showed the mileage when you put the key in and turn it, The new cluster shows it as soon as you open the door.
The new cluster is Fully Illuminated at FULL brightness with the key on, lights off. Turning the lights on dims the lights, even the highest dimmer setting is quite a bit more dim than the Ignition on brightness.
It's also illuminated in white (the one I got)
The DIC is LED, not LCD like the Stereo, It seems to change slightly faster because of this.
The LED display is actually GREEN, There's a filter on the gauge face that turns it white.
The style cluster I chose has Larger font and newer looking needles.
Some Idiot/warning lights were relocated.
The circuitry on the 2010 Cluster is WAY MORE intense than what's on the older clusters.
I think all the extra stuff prevented them from adding the Chimes speaker.
I think that's everything I noticed about the newer cluster when compared to the old one. Aside from the addition of a DIC of course
beautiful write up man, everything works perfectly and your instructions were spot on!
i love the look of the white instead of the old red, id recommend this to anyone looking to put a new head unit in or to just change the look up a bit. long story short two thumbs up brotha
You got me itching to do this mod. I don't have a double din stereo to put in currently to do this for it, but I would do this swap just to have this as the first step in stereo swap in. This is way better than putting in a Metra relocatable DIC else where. Plus it's all clean custom look but disguised as an oem job.
I'm running with my stock stereo. So I currently have two DIC screens and two Buttons to control them. ha
I'll look at buying a new stereo soon enough. Probably a single din for now so I can dial in my speakers and amps, then a double din down the road.
