Hello fellow forte owners!
I'm a proud new owner for a 2010 Koup EX Canadian model.
The shocker when I went to pick up the car was no water/coolant temperature readout.
I've searched and read through the forum. Some people suggested OBDII scanner (Kiatech I t hink) and other say to add an aftermarket gauge (which IMO is intrusive and not neat looking).
So my question is, can the gauge be swapped to the SX? Physically they should fit. I was wondering if the connection is the same? The reason why I'm asking is, I believe that KIA removed these features as a annoyance for people to opt for the higher trim rather than $ saving.
I know that the ECU reports the instant/avg fuel consumption and temperature (for the idiot light). So it is likely the information and sensors are their. It's just the information is not being displayed. Hence OBDII scanner/reader can see it. So why not just a cluster swap?
Anyone has pictures of the SX's conector for the gauge cluster?
