Upgrading to Message Centre

carlpenn · 13th August 2011, 14:41

One thing my Tourer doesn't have and I want is the Message Centre.

I know that any change of the Instrument Cluster needs a T4 session, however, I was wondering if the following item at Rimmers is suitable, providing I change the Speedometer face (It's in KPH rather than MPH) it's only £40 so if the Speed Dial is easy enough to change then it may be worth it.

If it is suitable, are there any Members near me that can perform the necessary T4 work and how much will it be

Those are the units i use, suitable for both diesel and petrol with a little bit of programming and a dial swap.

I was actually in Birmingham on Friday too!!!

So is it possible to convert a Rover 75, KMP version message-centre to a ZT. If so I would consider buying one of these clearance items as a spare (just in case), especially as the ZT verisions are no longer available.

Yep, all the mc ipk's are basically the same unit, the only differences are the dials, backlight colour and eeprom contents.
