Canadian clusters have different part numbers from US clusters due to the metric thing. You can use an S cluster. New clusters are expensive. Call your dealer since there are many part numbers.

The mileage is stored in the cluster. So if you put a new cluster on your used car it will show zero miles. But the dealer can set the mileage in the new cluster to match your car.

If your cluster is working and you want a KPH display from it, the display will toggle back and forth between KPH and MPH by holding down and twisting the left cluster pin (or is it the right one?) to the left and holding it a few seconds if I'm not mistaken. Check your manual or call your dealer for details if you don't have a manual.

Then, all you'd need would be a set of gauge faces in KPH-celcius to swap out for the MPH ones you now have... You can buy new KPH faces in silver or white for around $250 USD from TechArt and other sources. This would be far cheaper than buying a new cluster.

BTW, new clusters can cost $1200-1800 USD from a dealer here in the US, plus a half hour programming time to set it to your current mileage. Your price where you live might be more.

As far as your other question, I can only imagine that adding PSM to your car would be too expensive to be worth it.
