Never heard of anyone doing it. I would imagine it would be quite a chore if it could be done.

I'm sure, for the right amount of money a C4 speedometer can be installed in a C5.

Enough time and money,,,you can do almost anything!! The main question is why!! From what I read,,the C4 panel was a source of expensive problems and was one reason that they went back to analog gauges in the C5!! That stuff is so 80's,,and needs to stay there!!!

Old school digital man!!
I wouldn't do it. Its fun to see my speedometer needle surpass the numbers and sweep all the way around the face of the gauge. Not go "6...49...95"
I mean, its coming out of a C4....

Nope. the gauge cluster on the C4 & C5 is driven by the ecu and they are TOTALLY different.

Probably too much hassle to make it work...and the C5 cluster is so much easier to read off than the C4 custer, especially when it is sunny.
