Instrument Cluster swap to color LCD??

[BranThomps]

I’m looking at rebuilding a wrecked 2011 RSS and was wondering if it is possible to swap in a color instrument cluster from a higher spec’d model or a newer model Spyder RT. Has anyone done this or looked at it before? Physically they look similar and it appears to have the same electrical connector on the rear. With the Can-Am Spyders using a sort of CAN BUS communication system it makes sense that it might work but maybe would need a re-coding (BUDs?).

I’d also like to know if the Spyder will run without the instrument cluster? Long story, but a valid question.

I’m new to the forum and Spyders and have looked through the site using search without luck.

Thanks!

I tried to install the cluster of an RT from 2010 on my ST from 2013 and it works fine..
Only the background color was different - the older one ist blue, the newer is yellow..
