Hey guys, mounted the Aim MXG and ran into an issue. The Aim MXG still needs the original instrument cluster connected to the vehicle since it acts as a conduit for the CanBus to get the needed signals such as fuel level, odometer reading, etc.

Per Martyn at Project Rogue.

"If you want to run the AiM permanently then you can disassemble the original instrument cluster as much as possible without damaging the internals, wrap it in something protective and hide it behind the dash. But it is not recommended if you plan to switch back to the orginal cluster. However, you can still hide it somewhere behind the dash in near full size without the outer case."

Can you guys that mounted the Aim MXG share what you did to mount the instrument cluster? The stock dash wirings are short.

TIA!
