Digital tacho from insignia fitted and working

I was bored with the standard Astra K speedo, and found out the Insignia B digital cluster was a straight fit. Just take some trims off and unscrew two bolts, that's it. Of course it needed some programming to get it working, but everything is fully working now.

When programmed correctly, it will sync to the bcm milage
Do we need to replace wheel also? Because in video you have nav900 wheel buttons. will this cluster work with Normal wheel which has r4.0 installed wheel?
This is a good question, I didn't see a response so far. If you do a swap to a digital cluster, do you have to swap the steering wheel to the one that has these kinds of buttons?

No it doesn't. Changing the wheel would work with the cluster, but the buttons on the other side wouldn't work with your radio. I have the R4.0 style wheel and the insignia cluster, and currently have no way of accessing menu. But the chap that did my programming is creating a module to get the indicator stalk menu buttons working with it.

This link is for diesel, what country do you live in?
I'm in the UK, I already have my cluster I was linking it for the other guy. What difference does fuel type make?

The big differences is the tacho rev counter, on diesel this is lower than the petrol edition.

Sorry, The country was ment for Darkel01: if you live in Norway/Sweden i may know of one or two for the Petrol

If the speedo is digital, should that not be programmable.

One of the advantages of doing digital speedo's for vauxhall would be that they did not need atleast 4 variants of each type.

Petrol - MPH
Petrol - KPH
Diesel - MPH
Diesel - KPH

Please see pictures from EPC

The bigest instruments at the left and right are static..

it is more partnumbers for more clusters :)
LOL

So the only part of the instrument that differs from petrol to diesel and from KPH to MPH is still analog.

That sounds very illogical.

I dont have the Astra anymore and I did not changed my tyres when I had the cluster fitted.
If you cant program them with the cluster but they did show up with the correct values on the 'old' tyres then you have 2 options:
1: get them programmed manually by someone with GDS2 software.
2: fit the 'old' cluster and program with that one as you were used to (to be sure dont drive with that cluster installed), when done reinstall digital cluster and drive happily ever after.
