Probably not true. All parts of a vehicle need to be available as replacements. That being said, it may come connected to some other stuff you may not want / need. Whether the vehicle comes pre wired for this piece is another question to research.

You may need to buy a new dashboard too because it requires aprox 3 X 5 inch cut-out then you have to run a cable to the outside for the temp sensor. If I were you I would not bother...If you add the cost together, you might as well spent on a decent in dash NAV units that has these features. I think Pioneer has those...

There were two users (Moabrat and Cornercanyon, I think) on here that did a dashboard swap because one wanted the cluster and one didn't. Sounds to me like it's part of the dashboard.
