    German OBC

    Got a big box in the mail today w/ some fun euro parts in it. Among the parts was a german OBC and the cluster out of the same car. When I install the OBC into my 87 is, will the plugs be the same? I already have a 13 button OBC in my car just want to swap to german buttons. The german cluster came out of an 85 grey market 323.

    is the german OBC a 13 button also?
    if it is, you can swap the two out or just switch the face plates so you have everything in german.
    do you speak/read german? if you want to actually use the OBC it would help.

          Will the fact that the car the obc came out of had a vdo cluster & my car has a motometer cluster make a diff? Also Im guessing that I cant swap clusters? or can you swap vdo for motometer etc? I have a euro vdo cluster & would like to put it in my car

            Don't you have to swap the coding plug on the back of the obc? I don't know, just asking.
