This is the hardest/easiest way to do it.
Here is a couple pics for your pleasure.
I can't find the interior pics anymore, but it basically had the RX-8 cluster and center stack in it. Since the RX-8 is CAN-BUS, it needs all that.
One other issue with the FB swap was that the steering fault light was always on (since the car had a manual set-up, and the DSC doesn't work since the car had no wheel sensors or the yaw sensor. |
Thank you for the post. Good stuff. These issues are why I'm not going to use the factory ECU. I'lll just use a standalone with the bare minimum sensors and devices to make my life much simpler.
