I'm new to elantras but was wondering if anyone has swapped the instrument clusters from a sedan to that of a touring elantra. I want to know my avg mpgs and I like the touring clusters better. Just wanting to figure out if it's going to be a PITA or if the wiring is pretty much identical on the two. Thanks in advance.

You can? I scroll through everything and all I see is odo, trip a, trip b. Unless there is something else I'm supposed to press or hold down or do something differently?? I'll play with it again but I'm pretty sure I can't see that with mine. I hope I'm just stupid and have overlooked something obvious.

Page 4-42 of the owner's manual says:

- Distance to empty
- Average fuel consumption
- Average speed
- Tripometer

Odometer is separate from these and appears below them, so it shouldn't be one of the things you scroll through.

One thing to try is resetting to see if something funky happened in there. Really odd that you wouldn't see this information.

Ah huh!

I guess they have two versions for the HD. This I did not know. That sucks.

Version one - "Trip computer" gives;
Trip/Range/MPG avg/MPH avg

Version two - "Trip Odometer" (without trip computer)
Cycling between Trip A & Trip B.

SE trim gets the trip computer, the GLS does not.

As for the original question, I do not think it is possible as the cars are quite different being as they are on separate platforms. My suggestion is to spend $150 and get a ScanGuage II and have lots of useful tools for MPG and car vitals.

Good point above. Looking at salvage yards, the speedometer/instrument cluster for the sedan with trip computer and without cruise control is running about $100 to $150. Even if it did fit, you could do a lot better with scangauge or other ODB II reader for the same or not much more money.

Although the original question doesn't matter so much either way -- the new question would be would a sedan cluster with trip computer plug-and-play replace one without if that's what shooter might want to do anyway.

I found a couple of SE gauge cluster with the mpg avg for around $30 on ebay. that would be alot more cost effective for me. I just want to know if the computer is in the gauge cluster itself and if they are any different as far as pluging in, and would the odometer be messed up if I switched gauge clusters?
