And the answer is ... .
Yes !
Cluster doesn't work, but i knew that going in, i think i can make the pre 08 cluster work with the new firmware, or you can obviously update to the 08 cluster, i'll have to go over the wiring changes to the cluster pack and see whats what, it might need a harness adapter even for the 07 if they moved stuff around, i know they moved some of it around.
What are the benefits of a 2008+ tune in an 07 car?
No K line , woo ! its all CAN bus and order of magnitude faster than K line, though the CAN speed is 500Kbps instead of 1000Kbps so its actually slower in a 2008 but faster than K line., but if i get the cluster to work i intend to change it to 1000Kbps again, this will break the OBD II tools but i don't care about them.
Tyre pressure warning, yeah thats useful..
Variable traction control, already got that in my 07, so yeah not useful either.
Longer lifetime, most OEMs stop updating the tunes for cars after a few runs, this might prolong it a bit, and any improvements lotus have added to the new cars software.
So on to the cluster, i know most people want the 08 cluster in the 07 car, but i don't have one yet..
