Description
IMPORTANT NOTE: We realize there is a lot to read here but it’s in everyone’s best interest to read all of the information presented here. This is admittedly a bit of a complicated service with many facets depending on your vehicle build, mods, warranty status etc. We have tried to make this as comprehensive and easy to understand as humanly possible but if we missed something please drop us a line and ask!
This exclusive ship in service for a cluster you supply us allows for complete 100% factory correct operation of an 8″ Uplevel LCD Cluster into a 4″ cluster equipped Camaro with plug and play simplicity! This service is 100% custom to your vehicle and options and can be tweaked/adjusted for mods such as added OEM navigation, added park assist, HUD hardware retrofit as well as parts removed such as magnetic ride etc. This ship in service when done in the recommended manner (matching vehicle year/content) is 100% warranty compliant. If you still have factory warranty or dont want the hassle of trying to find the proper used/salvage unit you can simply get our complete kit that includes a brand new unit with full warranty and warranty compliance.
If you have a 2019+ please note that in order to Utilize the Music, Navigation (if Equipped) and Phone menus you will need to have an IOS or IOT radio; the IOR does not have the bus wiring or capability to drive those menus.
FAQ:
Q: How do I figure out if the part number I’m looking at is compatible?
A: The simplest way is to have a dealership confirm it matches your vehicles model year and engine type.
Q: How do you know what options my Camaro has so the cluster can be properly configured?
A: From your VIN! If you have added any factory options you think the cluster should display or interact with just put them in the order notes.
Q. I heard you need to add a small plug and play wiring harness for IO5/IO6 equipped vehicles is that true?
A. Yes, these vehicles are missing some of the wiring to drive the cluster; this harness is available from Gen5DIY.com
Q: Can you do this for Export (Metric clusters)?
A: Yes we can and we can supply them and will eventually add them to the drop down menu but for now just email and ask for your specific application.
Q: Does it HAVE to be the same model year of cluster as my Camaro?
A: If you wish to have 100% OEM functionality AND retain your factory or factory backed extended warranty you MUST use the same model year cluster as your Camaro. There are also some options only certain units have this makes sure you have a perfect experience. There are many incompatible combinations that we cannot program around due to hardware and bus differences so again get one that matches your model year!
Q: What about my engine hours?
A: These up level clusters show total running hours as well as idle hours, while base clusters only display total running hours. By default, we reset both to zero. If you want your actual hours programmed, you must get a GDS2 report from a dealership with both total and idle hours, include them in your order notes, and reply to your confirmation email with the report attached.
Q: I have an IOB Radio will this cluster work in my application?
A: Yes with some caveats. It will “work” however you will not see any audio information and if you have an IOB with steering wheel radio/audio controls you will lose those. Most people get this upgrade to use when replacing the IOB radio. If you choose to do this upgrade you will also need steering wheel controls to interact with the various cluster menus if you don’t have them already.
Q: Will I lose any features?
A: No you should not lose any features that you had before other than the IOB steering wheel control situation above if you follow the instructions and get a model year matching unit.
Q: Will I gain any features?
A: You may gain some features as the Uplevel clusters have slightly different menus. We can also enable things you have added such as indicators for park assist or the Navigation menu if you have added factory navigation. If you have added FACTORY options that your Camaro didn’t have please put what you have added in the notes section.
Q: Can you delete warning indicators for items I may have removed from the Vehicle??
A: Yes we can, this would all be custom and priced as such, contact us for details.
Q: What is the HUD Retrofit Option?
A: This enables the unit to drive a heads up display. Yes it can be installed after the fact and requires wiring obviously.
Q: What is the Odometer Lock Option?
A: The Odometer lock option removes the odometer hard lock from a cluster that has been tampered with or improperly installed (Odometer Showing ——).
Q: Do I need to send in my factory cluster?
A. No, we only need you to send the Uplevel cluster you are sourcing (if you are choosing to supply it)
