Hello,

I have 2010 Subaru Forester with the typical (boring) instrument panel. In particular, what I really dislike is the tiny chep-looking black on white LCD panel


I was wondering if this one would fit into 2010 Forester

...it is apparently from 2012 Impreza.

I like the inverted LCD display in the middle and the white color of the dial (my Forester is white too). If it could work it would be a great fit. Any thoughts? If not, what would be the closeset thing and how can I get it?

Just on that bit. Years ago I took apart a cheap LCD calculator to clean it and noticed if I flipped the front piece of plastic that covered the display, it inverted it. I suppose it's polarised? Not sure if it's at all possible in your situation to try that.

Obviously doesn't affect the dials!

I tried to look but cannot find the touring instrument cluster anywhere. I called a few Subaru service centers and they all say the same - they can only find the replacement parts if I give them my VIN number which, of course, defeats the purpose because they are finding the exact same instrument cluster that I have. Anyone could direct me to the link or a store in the Northeast where I can purchase it or have it installed?
