XVOLAFT thanks for sending me the link. I just finishing putting the dash in . Luckily when I removed the Screen out of the way there was the plug for the gauges sitting there . Everything went well except for my oil gauge doesn’t work it lights up but doesn’t register. I have a 2016 Gt Premium. Thanks again
Yea I read that thread. He did it for his GT. Not sure if or how it would work for an eco. And I'm not that mechanically inclined to try it myself.
Reach out to @tdstuart since he extended the offer to make a harness for EcoBoost as well if someone is interested, see post 2 in this thread. He can get both signal reference from the MAPT sensor wires.
I see you already reached out to @tdstuart about a harness.
I can build a harness for it. The challenges are:
These steps require cutting the middle vent hole to fit the gauge.
This method will only be applicable if you have the plug, no wire cutting or splicing.
How to find the plug?
1- The wire will be sitting/tucked behind the plastic that is behind the screen.
2- You will need to remove the bezel, and the screen to reach to the wire, check the videos below on how to reach to it. Just watch the removal part of the video to reach to the wire:
A) For base model (Small screen), first 10 minutes: CLICK HERE
B) For premium model (Big screen), first 10 minutes: CLICK HERE
Notes: (BASED ON MY RESEARCH, PLEASE CONFIRM):
1- Model (2015-2017):
A) Base model (Base cluster with no mycolor):
- i. Mycolor will not work, you can’t enable it using FORSCAN.
- ii. Oil pressure will need tune to let it work look at the picture below for tuning.
- iii. V6 mustang: Will need a tune and forscan IPC As-built programming (720-02-01: XXXX XXXX X7).
B) Premium model (Premium cluster with my color / Digital cluster / If you swapped your cluster):
- i. My color will work fine, enable it using FORSCAN if not enabled.
- ii. Oil pressure will need tune to let it work, look at the picture below for tuning.
2- Model (2018-2023):
A) Base model (Base cluster with no mycolor):
- i. Mycolor will not work, you can’t enable it using FORSCAN.
- ii. Make sure oil pressure is enabled in FORSCAN.
B) Premium model (Premium cluster with my color / Digital cluster / If you swapped your cluster):
- i. My color will work fine, enable it using FORSCAN if not enabled.
- ii. Make sure oil pressure is enabled in FORSCAN.
You will need to buy:
- Performance pack gauge and bezel
Steps:
1- Reach the harness, watch the removal part only from these videos:
A) Model:
- i. Base model (Small screen), first 10 minutes: CLICK HERE
- ii. Premium model (Big screen), first 10 minutes: CLICK HERE
B) Pull the plug to the middle vent.
2- Cutting (The most annoying part):
A) Cut the areas in the image (Cutter will be useful).
*You will need to make a room for the gauge, the clips should go inside the two as shown in the picture. Also, you will need to make a room for the 2 vents.
*This is what it looks like inside of a performance pack dashboard:
B) Optional: Cover the middle vent.
3- Installing the dash:
A) Install the wire and install the dash.
Note:
MyColor will not work on daylight, only at night or in shaded area.
Good luck!
I have a 2015 GT 50 year anniversary 6 speed, I’ve been seeing some people say if you have a manual the gauges will work without any tune needed, anyone know if that’s true?These steps require cutting the middle vent hole to fit the gauge.

Do you want the gauges to “work” or actually work. Non performance pack mustangs do not come with an oil pressure sensor, so even adding the gauges the best result is an interpreted oil pressured based off of cylinder head temp and rpm.
I ended up taking everything apart and I’ve realized I don’t even have the plug. I’m guessing it’s only 2016+ is when they added it but it still doesn’t make sense because I’ve seen some people say they did it to a 2015 base GT
