Ritz one works fine, mine is from Ritz. Backlit should match the stock color.

Thanks.

Just an update. Out of sheer interest, I have ordered a old Estilo Vxi speedometer cluster. i know it is costly than this separate option.

I will receive the part in a few days from now.. Hoping that the Vxi speedo cluster is backward compatible with the Lxi harness.

Do you know anything in this regard.

Will that work fine ???

the Vxi speedo just has a fog lamp indication & a tachometer functionality additional.

Tachometer wire (brown ) is already reaching the speedo in the Lxi harness

Fog lamp indication is of no use to me.

So hoping this will be a compatible.

I will loose the odometer readings. I am aware of that one.

Is there any complicated sensor assembly for speedometer OR any other aspect that I should be concerned of when I remove the instrument cluster.

Thanks for all your help. Much Appreciated. Awaiting your reply for any information that you can add here. Cheers

Noone seems to have done this on the ritz till now.

I think the best bet will be to hold of a competent car electrician who can open the speedo console and check the actual wiring.

You did this for installation of the tachometer ?
If so i have a pdf of swift service/workshop manual . Ritz manual may be similar.
I read the manual but was not able to figure out much. A helpful person in some other forum informed me that the wiring harness for swift lxi and vxi is different,after understanding the manual.
Still the method applied for installing tacho can be applied in the ritz too since connection is taken from the speedo wire, only thing isnoone has tried it yet.
One more thing it is difficult to interpret the service manual so if you have done this for the sole purpose of installing tacho, i am not sure how useful will it be.

How to order one??

Go to any MGP store in your area.

Find the order no. and place an order.
