Does anyone know if the digidash for ae101 levins and truenos is just a straight swap from the normal analogue cluster. Or does it have different plugs, or different pin outs in the plugs.

That was my first thought too, so I Pm'd him, but no replies yet.

That was what i thought might happen, but there isn't a speedo cable going to the dash on the ae101's, and the fuel gauge is still an analogue dial thing. its only the speedo thats digital, everything else is still has a dial. So might be ok? I just dont want to waste my money and buy it, then find it doesn't work.

Buy it, if it doesn't work then sell it to Kiwi-Corolla....profit?

Hey Andrew, just sent you a PM. Sorry for the delayed response. For anyone's reference, here's what it said:

The AE101 Levin digital dash will more than likely require some re-pinning on the harness connector in order for it to work, but the analogue senders should all be fine as it still uses an analogue gauge for both fuel and temperature. The AE92 cluster required the digital fuel sender as the fuel gauge was digital.

You might get lucky and find that your analogue plugs don't require modification to work with the digital one, but a friend of mine overseas has an extremely rare AE101 Corolla digital dash and he said that his required slight re-pinning in order for it to work. Wouldn't take much though.

Indeed

. Although the markets I'd be able to sell it to would be extremely limited, since the Levins only made it to a few countries around the world.

No swap between 162's

by **andrewgreen1000** » Mon Oct 31, 2011 10:26 pm

Good news is I got it today, and its for a manual, so thats cool. Bad news is it isnt working. The plugs fit, but it has one small extra socket for a plug on it. When you start it up, The warning lights all stay on and the speedo and rev counter dont go

So my next question is does any one have the pin out diagrams for each type of dash so I can see about swapping pins etc. I really want to get this working as its awesome, and my old dash the back light circut is bung and keeps flickering.

by **andrewgreen1000** » Tue Nov 01, 2011 1:52 pm

Here is the new dash, looks really cool! I've never even seen a picture of a manual one before, let alone for a 4age, with the right red line etc.

This is the back here: top is a normal cluster bottom is the new one.

See there is a small 4th plug next to the middle where the speedo is, Does anyone have any idea what that is for? Seeing as it wouldn't be for auto gear lights and stuff, so I'm kinda stumped.

And yeah, Diagrams for each dash would be a great help, I have spent hours on google and foind nothing. Really Keen to get this working.

You could just work it out yourself? Trace all the tracks and work out which light they power etc. I've done it on an old KP starlet dash X2 and most of it worked fine. Couple hours max I would imagine.

Just number each wire on each plug, then next to that number put what it powers. Some will be obvious as, some you may have to think about.

Plug 1:
wire:
1 indicator
2 headlight
3 etc

Plug 2:
etc etc

Do that for both dashes then hope you end up close to having all the wires matched up. Work out what the extra plug powers and go from there.

Not hard, just takes a bit of time. If you get really stuck cruise over and we can try sort it out.

+1 I just traced what each of the pins did when I swapped the dash in my starlet.
Its a very easy way to waste a few hours and it ensures that you get it right as some online diagrams are wrong.

Could be the digital dash drive unit, like for the LCD display

by **rollaholic** » Tue Nov 01, 2011 6:26 pm

it could be for the auto version too, and is just not utilised on manual cars

by **Kiwi-Corolla** » Sun Dec 04, 2011 10:44 am

I just got home from taking a Levin GT Apex for a test drive which had one of these exact same digital clusters. I must say that it's a very cool little unit. A shame the rest of the car was a pile of crap, but the digital dash sure was nice
