Nothing so far. I'm ready to accept a donor to operate on though! I was gonna pick one up at Pick a Part or Wrench a Part for $35ish next time I'm there (assuming they actually have one) to be my test subject 😏 I just haven't had the time lately. Plus I've been somewhat preoccupied with my new toys anyway! PIClusters is charging $900ish? This cost me $400 total (I installed everything)! 10" Android head unit, HD backup camera, and OBDLink MX+

Ok well... I've received some good news! Sounds like the PIClusters $900 custom cluster retrofit is gonna be a short-lived dream 🙂 Someone (not naming names) who's been into this stuff for a while has mentioned a plug n play adapter so the 99-02 models can receive the 03-06 clusters and work 100% without any other mods! 😃 He has a working prototype and is waiting on chips to make more to sell. Yes!

Short lived nightmare you mean


Waiting on chips but it’s a wiring adapter? Will this work with the 06-07 clusters that have the analog shift thing instead of the digital?

Need more information pls
Cost? Any way to confirm that the airbag light will work properly with a 99?

Im guessing the chip(s) function is the same as what PIClusters does by moving the tracer lines around on the board to make the last 2 gauges work.
As for the newer analog shifter: not for certain yet
Airbag light on '99 models: not sure yet either

I was told probably around $200 for the adapter. This isn't my product, so obviously that could change. I think that's a totally fair price tho. I'm game!

Oh yeah that works fantastic for me. Just get the cluster LED out and the mileage programmed and done.

Yeah I'm gonna get going on finding and modding a 03-05 cluster and have it ready to go for when he does get em ready to sell. Something like this piece of eye candy right here in my white Tahoe... 😏
