rarely can dealerships send the cluster to a company to reprogram. usually they just put a sticker in the door saying it was replaced. there is a company you can send it to for $150 if you want i can search the address. they have the expensive machine that can plug in and do whatever with it including reflashing the rom chip.
as for the op question, 01-05 dx/vp can swap with any 01-02 lx/ex cluster with tach no problem. but if you want the newer style 03-05 lx/ex with LED lights, you have to rewire the connectors (they still plug in, but the wiring needs to be re-pinned). i have the diagrams somewhere... i did the swap, its easy. just unplug the battery first lol
ok i still dont know if you re-pin from the car wires or the cluster itself im going to buy an 05 cluster and try to re-pin it but not sure is it that hard?? or easy to mess up?
i bought my civic in cali too, spirt honda
not too hard. i stripped a few wires trying to pull them out with pliars. you do the repin on the car harness connector and not the cluster. once youre done, you plug the stock connectors to the cluster and it will work. they have pin poppers that you can use to remove the wire pins. check computer store. you just have to unlock each connector by prying off the plastic locks on the side. then the pins will pull out and you can rearrange them.
