Hi all,

I'm considering picking up a TF Sports dash, and I have a couple questions regarding its compatibility with my TJ..

1. The TF Sports has a 4-sp tiptronic setup, and being such has a PRND4321 panel (where mine will be retaining the straight shift and has just the PRND321), will the gearshift indicators still illuminate 1,2,3 if I upshift/downshift manually?

2. The TF has a different cruise setup (button on instrument cluster binnacle, as opposed to the stalk setup on my TJ), will the cruise light still illuminate as per before? I understand the older cruise setup operates the cruise light differently to that of the newer type.

My understanding is, that while I am changing clusters, the control of the dash illumination still has to go through a control unit (be it BCM, cruise control unit, ECU, etc..) prior to the cluster, and the appropriate control unit sends the signal, the cluster simply illuminates what the control unit signals.

Lastly, and probably most importantly, I imagine the connections in the back are the same, can anyone confirm this?

Cheers! :happy:

What series TJhave you got?

AFAIK analog odometre TJ (series 1) are plug and play with TE-TJ.

If its s2 you have, i think its a loom swap

Should be plug and play. I fitted a cluster from TJ1 into my TF and worked fine. When i got the blackout, i had to change the loom.

I had Cruise as well.

TF sports cluster into TJ works fine, I've done this. When you downshift to 3rd, 3 will illuminate as it should, 2nd "2" etc.. all other lights function properly too providing the bulbs are good.

I have a TJ Sports (white dials, red backlight - looks nice) S1 cluster in my TH. The cluster has PRND aswell as 54321. PRND function as per usual, shifting to third just skips 5 and 4 and lights up 3 (these don't do anything any more).
