That means it doesn't have the hole for the temperature sensor for cars equipped with the automatic climate control. Though of course you could always drill the hole anyways.

for all you guys planning on putting the dash cover on, make sure that you prep your dash before appling the cover, especially if it is a plasitc cover. it doesnt really matter much with carpet. if your dash is severly cracked, then take a razor and cut out the sides of the crack until you are left with a flat surface to work with. and the best way to get a really good looking final product it to take the dash out of the car. it is worth the extra effort. if you dont cut the old crap off the dash , then your new cover is going to last about 1 maybe 2 months before it cracks where the dask was cracked. i went through 3 of them before i realized what was going on.

The instructions that came with my dash cover from MSA said exactly that. I followed them (yes, I did read the instructions!) and my dash cover has been fine for the last 4.5 years.

My dash cap warped one hot afternoon. Warped really bad. I'm gonna try another one with a sun shade but if that fails me, it's time to get a completely new dash.

Have any of you run into problems around the gauge cluster area?
