It should be a straight swop. The only thing though is that some of the instruments may not work depending upon the spec of your car.

Hi Carter

This subject was covered quite well in a previous post I did a long time ago - here it is https://www.fiatforum.com/tipo/114935-digital-dash-conversion.html

Unfortunately, I ultimately bottled out of doing this conversion as I was afraid of f***ing it up hehe

surely this conversion is worth doing, purely to shut the clock up. it's the noisiest clock going and pisses me right off when trying to relax in the car

Wow - I thought I was the only one who had a noisy clock! I bought a really loud amplifier for my stereo to drown out it's chattering

i think FIAT heard the saying that the loudest thing in a rolls royce at 100mph is the clock, and so decided to put a really loud clock in to give the impression of quality
