Final Edition Speedometer

Since my Lancer is a 2008 model, I naturally never had a color display in the instrument cluster. In 2019, I finally installed the instrument cluster from an ASX. However, there was one small drawback: it didn't have a startup animation. But why? I couldn't answer that question back then...

In 2022, the time had finally come: I upgraded my ETACS from A319 to A321, now with a startup animation. I have since upgraded to ETACS A322 with a final update.

I acquired the US0000 emblem, and that was the starting point for installing special Final Edition parts. The Final Edition speedometer, with its unique start-up animation, is particularly special, as it was only installed in the Evo and is a limited edition.

But anyone who thinks you can just buy a used speedometer and install it... is mistaken....

First you have to find one, and if you do find one, they are very expensive, and customs, import duties and shipping costs are added on top.

Once you finally get it, you still have to swap the dials, reprogram it to kilometers, and enter your mileage. And it's also tricky to make sure the needles don't start jumping when you start it up....

But in return, you get a beautiful, rare speedometer with a special animation.

And one more thing that has always interested me: Is it possible to change the animation to the normal Mitsubishi start-up logo via ETACS?

NO - Mitsubishi, or rather Nippon Seiki, simply swapped the logos 1:1.... So you can reprogram a rare, expensive Final Edition speedometer to display the startup animation from Peugeot and Citroën.... That hurts....
