It's more common to see fourth gens keep the electronic speedo, since most thirdgens where cable.

If yours is like mine, you can swap them out, yes. Borg Warner has a part with BOTH TYPES of connections on it, in case you should ever need. I cannot recall the part number, but I remember that it cost about $100 or so, and It was stocked in a couple O'Reilly Warehouses nationwide. Might take a couple days for them to network it to ya, but really is a cool idea!
