2018 gauge cluster in a 2016?

Can you swap a 2018 gauge cluster into a 2016 SR5? I like the new digital speedometer option.

My guess is no.

 

I suspect that you can't just plug in play.
Agreed I like the new digital speedo.

 

I highly doubt it since the harness plug is probably different due to the added features (like LDA). But then you never know since CAN Bus can transmit all kinds of data through a single wire.

 

A Toyota mechanic friend told me this, when I asked a question about modifications...."If you have enough time and money anything is possible."

I just wish it was a simple software update. Not really impressed with the small info screen. My '05 Buick Rainier actually had more information available than a '17 Toyota Tundra. Of course, the Buick was in the repair shop a lot more....

 

would love to get speedo on the screen since Toyota designed the steering wheel to block the 60-75mph zone on the dial.

 

Thanks for the replies. I figured it was a long shot but worth looking into at least.

 

Has anyone actually tried this yet?

 

I asked my parts guy and he said wire harness might be different due to tss and completey different setup.

 

Has anyone ever purchased this as a add on after market option? https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a...ta-to-offer-low-cost-accident-avoidance-tech/
Stop Is Cheap: Toyota to Offer Low-Cost Accident-Avoidance Tech

In what could amount to a minor coup in the safety realm among non-luxury car brands, Toyota has announced that it will make several of its electronic safety features available at a very low cost in its small and mid-size offerings. The safety systems will be bundled in two different packages and come first to the refreshed 2016 Toyota RAV4 and Avalon this fall before spreading to more vehicles by the end of 2017.

For $300, the Toyota Safety Sense C system is available for compact cars and combines a pre-collision system, lane-departure warning, and automatic high beams. It uses a camera and laser radar to notify the driver of hazards with an audio and visual alert. If he or she does not respond, it will help mitigate pre-collision speeds by approximately 19 mph if the driver does not apply the brakes on his or her own, and helps provide additional stopping power if the system determines that more is necessary. Toyota says that the pre-collision system covers speeds “at which at least 80 percent of rear-end collisions occur,” (i.e. relative speeds of between approximately 7 and 50 mph. The lane-departure alert uses a camera to detect visible white and yellow lane markings and informs the driver with an audio and visual alerts in the event he or she is about to leave the lane. The automatic high-beam system works like most others, using the camera to detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles and the taillights of vehicles ahead, switching to low beams so as not to dazzle other drivers.

For $500, the Toyota Safety Sense P package available for “mid-size and premium models” includes all of the above plus pedestrian detection and adaptive cruise control, thanks to the fitment of a millimeter-wave radar. Like the pre-collision system, the pedestrian-detection system works at relative speeds of between 7 and 50 mph and can reduce impact speed by approximately 19 mph, Toyota says. The radar cruise-control system works like most others, sensing cars ahead and adjusting vehicle speeds to compensate.

“The idea is to make them widely available,” Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told us, “but I can’t be more specific at this time.” She did point out that Toyota plans to eventually make the systems accessible to some 70 percent of its European customers, so how about that, America?

  How about redesigning the RAV4 while you're at it? That thing is hideous. Good job on the tech though.

  Wake me up when Toyota brings back the Cellica, MR2, and Supra. Their cars are sleep inducing.

  How about taking that $800 and spending it on a trackday driver safety course instead?
