👏🏽 You sir are a hero! thank you.
No problem! Glad it was useful!
Nice very good tutorial
Thank you!
This is a great mod. I had a 19 GT with a 401A package. I loved the dash but I hate the gen 3 coyote. I sold the car now I would like a 15-17' with very low mileage.
Yeah I've heard people have problems with the gen 3. That's unfortunate. I love the dash. The Mustang is just such a great daily driver.
New s550 owner here. Can you explain what issues are bad with the gen 3 ?
@@agarcia8800 they have a piston slap issue that I believe is the cause of the “coyote tick”. It’s a Gen 3 only problem:
www.reddit.com/r/MustangTech/comments/bbmd4q/question_for_gen_3_coyote_owners_are_the_problems/?
@@RobsHouse oh god. I just bought a 2018 with only 5k miles for a good price. Ima have to check this out for sure.
@@agarcia8800 that’s what warranty is for ;). If it starts ticking just take it to the dealer
I wonder if some programmers could some how let it work with a EV swap so you won’t need a basic tablet for your gauges
Well, thanks for the video. I know I'll get flamed for it, but now know what else to look for as nogo's when buying a mustang. And I am looking to buy one. If you have to cut things to fit things no thanks.
To each their own. I put a bunch of padding behind mine, so it doesn't rattle at all. You wouldn't even know it was modified. These come as a factory option for 2018+ so it's only an issue if you see a 2015-2017 with a digital dash if you don't want any modifications.
Great video! Is it possible to misaligned the steering wheel when putting it back on? If so, what could you do to avoid that? Thanks!
No. The center bolt threads into a receiver which is hexagonal. As long as the wheel was pointed straight when you took it off, you can’t screw it up putting it back on. You’d have to rotate it a full 60 degrees to put it on at a different angle. You’ll see what I mean when you pull yours off. Don’t worry :)
@@RobsHouse I see! Thank you so much.
Does the 2018+ models require a new “ clock tower “ ? Not to sure if that’s what it’s called but for the windshield wipers & turn signals.
That’s a good question. I want to say no but I’m honestly not sure.
@@RobsHouse I got a hold of the seller it’s in the kit so even though I’m not sure either I’ll just swap it out. Thanks anyway tho man!
Holy shit! You are VERY brave!! Do you feel like flying out to Australia to instal a new digital instrument panel in my dash (because mine keeps going 'dark' on me for no apparent reason).... I doubt any of the Ford mechanics in the region where I live would know where to begin on a project like this!!)
That's weird. Did you check the back to make sure the connector is seated properly? Mine has never had any issues since this install. The only thing I did later was add additional padding behind the dash because it was rattling a little bit.
@@RobsHouse No! My car came with the digital dashboard, factory fitted. I note that this is an issue for many owners (according to some of the forums I follow on the web), but where I live the only Ford dealership in town is still coming to grips with the fact that we don't have to hand-crank our engines to get them started these days.
@@nicholascohen852 Interesting. I have no idea why it would do that. I'd imagine that should be covered if you're in warranty.
the dashboards are not vinyl on the newer models. I got a Bullitt dashboard online and full aluminum.
I’ve thought about switching mine to carbon fiber to match the rest but I actually kind of like whatever that design is called on mine.
I haven’t found anyone able to answer this question. I have a ‘19 Ecoboost Premium with a digital gauge cluster and the NAV/GPS Sync 3 radio. I also have a ‘16 GT Premium with an analog gauge system and a Sync 3 without NAV/GPS…my question is, am I able to migrate them from the Ecoboost over to the GT?
I would imagine that it is possible, but it will require some reprogramming. I know the basics of using FORScan, but I'm not an expert on that. Check out the digital cluster install guide thread on the forums and ask them. I think someone there will know how to better answer this question.
www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/2018-digital-cluster-installation-guide.99275/
My rpms and speed is not changing ?
I got a base model 2020 but i dont want the digital dash i just want me "my color" option think if i switched cluster w premium package it would work???
I actually have no clue. My car is a GT premium package, so I have never tried that.
i am thinking of buying a used digital dash, being plug n play and all, if i were to buy one with lower mileage than mine, could i roll forward those miles with forscan? so it could match mine, and if so do you know where exactly id have to go on forscan to get that done?
Yup you can roll it forward. That's exactly what I had to do. Just google how to do it. I don't remember which menu its in. It's very easy to do though.
I just got a 2018 GT that doesn’t come with the digital cluster, is it a straight swap too? Or do I have to modify anything?
I’m not sure honestly
I have tried to find this with a boost gauge but everyone I talk to says I can't get it with it. I upgraded to a roush stage 2 and would like to see my boost with just one cluster....Do you know who I can call that is more knowledgeable? Really want to get this ordered before they finish the rest of the work....thank bro...
Sam over at breeves002.net/ should be able to tell you how to hook it up. It does have a boost gauge option in it, but I'm not sure if anything else needs to be done to get it to read boost off of the stock analog gauge that's in the performance pack cluster provided by Roush. I also have a Roush car. I just didn't care about seeing boost in the digital cluster because the analog one is enough for me.
Thanks for your video what model your mustang is l have a 2019 base model l am upgrading everything
Mine is a 2015. It’s a stage 3 Roush which basically is a GT Premium with the Roush Coilovers and supercharger on it
Great video! Does it show what gear you are in?
It does not on the 2015-2017 cars.
Do you lose any of the controls/features of the old one with changing it out and is there any features you don’t get?
Not at all. You have to switch the buttons out like I showed, but that’s basically it. All the standard features are there and you just get a cooler looking dash layout
how is the installation different when its on a 2018 mustang? I have a 2018 gt premium with the old cluster and I really want to upgrade, but I cant find a tutorial on the upgrade on a 2018+ mustang, only people installing it into 2015-2017 mustangs.
The difference should be that it bolts right in with no trimming to the back-plastic required. You'll still need to program the cluster according to your VIN options, but it should be a more straight forward swap. However, I can't say for sure, as I've never done one.
@@RobsHouse thank you so much!
Did your odometer have to be adjusted when you ordered it or does it automatically adjust to whats on the car when you install it?
Yes. I go over that toward the end of the video. You can only increase mileage with FORScan, not decrease. But I did have to increase it, as the mileage on my car increased in the time between ordering the kit and receiving it.
Do you know if a dash off another mustang will work on mine
Or does it have to be that kit
I believe it will assuming both cars are the same transmission (auto dash is different from manual). However, it will require reprogramming the dash to match the options that the car you're installing it in has. You also need the upgraded steering buttons.
Where did you get the steering wheel? Looks really nice!
From CJ’s pony parts. I think it’s made by Ikon Motorsports amzn.to/3jjh17h
Rob must not live in Texas because when the summer comes and it gets 190 in a car then winter comes and it is 20 below what do think is going to happen to the electric circuit in ALL of these computers in a car?
These are factory components from a newer mustang, so i think that absolutely nothing will happen. Ford sells cars in Texas as well as Alaska. Every car that even has so much as electronic fuel injection has a computer in it. They are designed to withstand extreme temperatures...
And I live in Eastern Tennessee. I say this in videos all the time.
I have a 2020 Mustang GT, will I need to cut out the back plastic or will this digital gauge cluster fit without any modifications to the dash?
I believe on the 2018+ it’ll fit without modification. I’m not 100% sure though
@Jes2e hey man I have a 2020 gt would I need to buy just the cluster or would I need to buy the adapter and all that as well?
Is there a way to change from Auto to Manual with forscan?
To my knowledge, no.
Will this fit 2015-17 mistangs? Im trying to trade my 18 that’s why im asking.
Yes. My car is a 2015.
Hi how are things?? I have changed all the elements like you but when I turn on the car the kilometers that I had do not appear, the button above the license plate to open the trunk does not work either, the rev counter does not move either and it does not let me change the driving mode driving, do you have to do some reprogramming after installing all the elements for it to work correctly? thanks and regards
I didn’t. It came programmed for the most part. All I had to do was change the red line. Things like your trunk hatch release should work since that’s not even connected to the cluster.
Thank you very much for answering, I will reschedule and that's it, greetings and thanks for the videos
You might want to recheck the wiring behind the cluster if yours is a 15-17 car to make sure they didn’t get cut during the install.
You were not scared at all, were you? I would be petrified that I would break something, then I still have to pay the monthly payment on the car.
Nicely done!
PS: Did you happen to add an additional horn, too? People complain the horn on the Mustang is awful.
Nah it’s an easy install. Also, I don’t owe any money on the car so I’m more ambitious with taking it apart 😂
I didn’t change the horn. I almost never use it. It’s a very generic sounding horn. I have no issues with it.
I got a 2018 mustang Gt with every option but this, do you know if any mechanic shops install this?
I’m sure anyone could if given instructions. It’s pretty easy to do yourself honestly. The cutting is the only slightly tricky part and even that only took me 15 minutes or so.
@@RobsHouse I don’t trust my self with any of that lol
I don’t think the cutting is necessary if you have a 2018+
I know this is an old video but where did you get that steering wheel
I got it from CJ’s pony parts I believe. I think the brand was Ikon? Don’t quote me on that but I think that was the name.
With CarPlay, does it show your directions in the cluster?
It does not. I don't think any of the S550s do that.
I don't own the car yet but there's one local I'm very interested in. However no digital dash. I'm happy to see I can add one. As I'd be removing the steering wheel it would be a good time to upgrade. How do you like that aftermarket one?
I love it! And if you do the digital dash, I would recommend putting some foam behind it. Mine was rattling so I removed it again last weekend and taped some foam back there. No more noise now :) it is only mounted by the bottom if you have a 2015-2017 car so it flexes a bit when you hit bumps. It’s not moving at all now and the foam obviously eliminates noise. Install instructions won’t say anything about this but you should definitely do it if you swap the dash. Steering wheel swap is easy and 100% worth it as well.
@@RobsHouse I'm looking at a 2020 so no worries about the rattle 👍
Oh nice! Yeah no problem at all then
does your dash rattle at all? and do your brights symbol show up on your digital dash, when you push the brights away does it stay locked and on? my digital dash rattles when driving pretty annoying, then my brights don’t show up when i push to lock the brights
then my brights don’t stay on when i push them away from me to lock em
Brights work normally. They lock on when I push the stick away from me. Dash rattled a ton so I ended up putting some foam behind the gauge cluster and it doesn't rattle at all now. Just put some foam padding back there and you'll be good. The rattle is coming from the back of the cluster hitting stuff back there.
@@RobsHouse thanks for the reply, i have a 2015 and i don’t understand why when i try to lock the brights it doesn’t stay on. or the little blue thing doesn’t show up, called infotainment and they sent a microsoft surface tablet out and turns out some coding was wrong but still didn’t fix it. gonna have to call them again and figure out the situation. using the clock spring they sent me in the kit and everything.
@@sarmadalnourachi5942 yeah it’s either a coding issue or something wrong with the clock spring. I’m sure they’ll fix it either that. That sucks in the meantime tho. I’m sorry man.
So I just did this upgrade on my 2018 mustang. Had the analog cluster before, sent the digital dash to Sam reeves to be programmed. It came back and I installed it, works great. However i cannot access the settings for the dash. Also phone functions are limited but somewhat working. Ford voice controls also no longer work. Did I do something wrong ?
Did you replace the steering controls and the clockspring? I bought the whole kit from him so it came with all the necessary parts. The old analog steering controls and clockspring will not work with the new digital dash, which is why he includes a 2018+ clockspring and controls.
@@RobsHouse I have a 2018, so a new clock spring is not needed if I’m not mistaken. Everything else has been replaced.
@@agarcia8800 Clock spring should be fine yeah. I wonder if it's just a couple of programming errors that can be fixed with FORScan. I had some small stuff like my red line not being correct that I fixed.
@@RobsHouseI’ll upload a video of my issue on my channel if you’d like to see ?
@@agarcia8800 did you ever get to fixing the settings with your dash? I just installed mine and I have all the steering controls installed its just that the pony control to access your settings doesn’t work at all
I have a digital dash from a 2018 5.0 that came with an engine/trans, etc my dad and i bought for a 1966 stang were swapping it into. Can i put that 18 dash into my 2016 gt350?
It requires a bunch of programming with FORScan, but you should be able to, assuming that dash is from a manual car. The manual and auto clusters are slightly different. You'll also need the bezel for it like I showed in the video. I wouldn't expect it to work right out of the box without some programming though. You also need to reset the odometer which is non-trivial as far as I'm aware. You can increase mileage easily, but if your car has less miles than it shows, the bezel needs to be completely re-flashed I think.
@@RobsHouse display is from a 10r80 stang and the gt350 is a tremec 6-speed manual rip
Yeah unfortunately that won't work :(
Will this mess with my tune gauge stuff for any reason at all?
Tune gauge? You mean an N Gauge? No it will not mess with that
Hey man nice video. I have a question. If I install one of those from a different mustang to my mustang. That will work?? Thx.
It's not a simple plug-and-play. You'll have to program the BCM using FORScan to reflect the features of your car (red line, whether or not you have a boost gauge, etc). It will also need to come from a car with the same transmission. Automatic clusters do not work properly on manual cars and vice-versa.
In my case, I purchased the kit and provided my VIN and mileage. With the VIN, they could look up the specs of my car and program the BCM accordingly before they shipped the unit to me. The only thing I ended up needing to change was the redline.
Hey man. Thx for the good information.
So the digital cluster I’m trying to buy is the same year of mine. Both cars are manual transmission.
Do you think if I install the digital cluster from that car to my car the the cluster will mach my car miles? Or that have to be programmed whit the forscan ?
I just ordered a used cluster with 32k miles on it, but my mustang only has 10k miles. Will I really have to wait until I reach 32k miles before installing it ?
@@saulfranco8641 It will absolutely NOT match your car's mileage. You will have to program it with FORScan. It's also worth noting that you can only raise the mileage with FORScan, so if that other car has more miles on it than your car, you need to do a factory reset, which I do not know how to do. You can contact hellhorse performance and ask them. They sell these dash swap kits and can probably reset it for you if needed.
@@agarcia8800 You can either wait or you can have it reset. Like I mentioned in my response to @Saul, FORScan will only let you raise the mileage, not lower it.
I just put mine in today, every button works except the little mustang logo to change colors, any ideas why?
Not sure. Bad switch maybe?
@@RobsHouse just found out i needed the clock tower programing. Mine is a 2021 so thought I didn’t need the clock tower Progam. Great video though 🤝🏿
@@jesusfiveoh ahhh that’ll do it. They gave me a new clock tower with mine. I didn’t realize it was programmed differently. I thought it was just plug and play from a newer car haha. TIL
Do you have to replace the clock tower piece with the turn signal or is the new one the same as the one replaced?
I gets replaced. I show that in the video.
Yes but does it have to be? Will it work without replacing it or some of the buttons replaced?
@@nc-boe951 I have no idea. You'd have to ask the people that sell the kit. I'm sure there is a reason, but I'm not sure what functionality would be lacking if you didn't have the upgraded clock tower and buttons.
@@RobsHouse Ok thanks. One more question. When you install this does it automatically update with your cars current mileage?
Why did you have to change the clock springs ?
It came with the kit. Not sure why but I'm guessing the old ones don't work with the new cluster.
Where can I buy this from?
breeves002.net/
Can a digital cluster go in a 2017 mustang?
Yes. Any S550
Did you fix the redline being off?
Yup. There's a parameter for it in FORScan.
Where did you order the cluster ?
breeves002.net/
gen 3 coyote is 7400 redline
That makes sense then!
This with programming the miles how it goes why it shows wrong
Not sure I understand the question. My mileage is correct. It was off by 1 mile when I programmed it. Not sure why FORScan can't get it exactly right, but it doesn't really matter. It's close enough.
Is it safe to buy the cluster and parts from a part out car ? I found a 2020 GT that has a digital cluster .
I'd imagine it would be (assuming the same transmission), but you'll have to program the cluster to match your car's options and mileage.
@@RobsHouse can I program the cluster myself ? Or I would need to take it to a dealership? I found a 2020 GT cluster manual. My car is a 2022 GT manual
I do not know. I know there are some things you can edit with FORScan yourself, but that only lets you increase mileage. I'm not sure how they reset them so they can program the correct mileage in if the cluster came off a car with higher mileage.
@@RobsHouse I currently have 1600 miles and the cluster that I’m looking at has around 3000. Should I just wait until I reach that mileage
@@anthonypalacios3842 yeah you can use FORScan to up the mileage to match when you do the install. You can also use that software to set other options in the cluster if they don't match, such as the red line for example. There are some spreadsheets on the forums with all the FORScan hex values for different settings for the BCM which controls the cluster and the infotainment screen. You need the ELM327 OBD interface for it as well.
Will this work with active exhaust?
Active exhaust wasn't an option until 2018+ if i remember correctly. This tutorial is for retrofitting the 2018+ digital dash to a 2015-2017 car.
If you have 2018+ car already do you still need to cut that stuff out?
I do not believe so
@@RobsHouse I have a 2019 but I seen americanmuscle website also sells it and it might be a slightly different design and I read reviews where they said they didn't have to cut anything. Thanks
@@thefitnesslife4988 yeah the cutting is because the plastic behind it on the 2015-2017 is different than 2018+. You probably won’t have to on yours. But if we are wrong and you do, it’s really not hard. I wouldn’t let that stop you. You can do it!
Will the metal frame behind the digital cluster not affect it with heat or anything
Nope it's fine. I did end up putting a bunch of foam back there because it started rattling after a few weeks. It's been good ever since I did that.
I was just about to ask that question, does it rattle or anything at high speeds or fast acceleration (appreciate the quick responses wow 👌🏽)
And what type of foam
Nothing in particular. I had an amazon package that had some foam padding in it and I just cut that out and used it. Basically just something to put between the back of the cluster and the metal frame.
Screw that im paying a shop to install for me😂😂
😂😂 nothing wrong with that!
18GT redlnes at 7500rpm.
Makes sense. Mine redlines at 7000 with Roush's tune. It's actually fine because when i see it start to flash I know how much time I have before shifting.
@@RobsHouse GT350 8000rpm.
Does the performance pack way of changing drive modes change it on the screen??
Yup it’ll change the the sport and track style gauge when you change the driving mode
