So i changed my headlining to black a while ago and decided that I wanted to fit the later dash as I prefer it. The headlining is done apart from the sun visors and other pieces of trim but can’t seem to find any seconds hand at the moment.
I’ve always preferred the facelift dash board so I’ve nearly finished putting it in. It’s been a bit of a challenge and got a bit of tidying up left to do. I couldn’t find a lot of information online who had done it so jumped in the deep end and had to work alot of it out.
The heater controls have to be used from the old one as the later ones won’t work due to can bus speed differences and later one has a separate module to the panel. The terrain response circuit board can be swapped into the newer casing aswell as the parking brake button.
I’ve wired up the clock and lights for that panel but the rest of the buttons are for show. The facelift door cards are in too but need to work out wiring for the ambient lighting and the window switches. The drivers window switch can’t be used but potentially the others can.
Certainly not finished but getting there.
