    That's it. Since I'm in Canada and we use kilometers I decided to change the panel as well. It was hard to reset it to the same odometer reading. I first wanted to set it to 84K kilometers as that's what 55K miles are about to but then I thought I might have questions raised by the local motor vehicle department (ICBC) so I changed the speedometer from 86K it had to 55K.

    What is interesting now is that the odometer on the speedometer works and it measures distance in kilometers but it doesn't show my speed. The speed pointer is just dead at zero. Anyone has any ideas what could be wrong? Maybe I should take the speedometer head and put it in the US pannel instead of putting the whole JDM pannel in?

    Also I still have this question about airbag unanswered - does it matter how I connect the airbag - there are two wires coming to it and the US stock airbag has two wires both of which are red. Does it make a difference if I connect them one way or another?

    Here are the pictures of the pannels if anyone is interested:

    I guess it's time to do some research + one of our counter parts in europe/australia/N.zealand can gather the info for you to get it right
    Dakar was just the begining.
