Veneficus Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Its just mislabeled and yes, it should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serge Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Yeah, it should work. Can't set the odometer though w/o getting a new wiring plate and having it programmed at the dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
