Well, I know it will swap, but the question is, what will work? Power window and such are controlled in the cluster, the 06 displays temp/direction, so i question whether that would work. I know 06 STX's and XL's with manual transmissions have a tach, so I presume that should work. I guess the only real way to know is to swap one. Hopefully you can find a "loner cluster" before you buy and try. Good luck! Ron

Two connectors on the top of the cluster, just unlatch them and those are out. Then lift it a little, reach under it and squeeze the tabs that hold the gear shift indicator in then remove. That's it. as far as wiringing the cluster so the message center will work, that's fairly easy as well. I can give you detailed instructions if you're going to do it. It requires very little work, just a little time as you want to make sure everything goes where it's suppose to. Plus you need a couple of connectors that you need to get from the dealer or rob them out of a salvage cluster harness. Ron
Ok, I'll take you up on the offer of detailed instructions. please send me a pm
