The trim panel is on national backorder until April 23-27th unfortunately.
That figures. Going to have to watch the miles on my car... Do you know if they're allowing orders to be placed currently? Seems like when you're not there in person its a fight to get something ordered thats currently backordered.

You can order the trim piece yes. Usually its only a problem if theres no release date for it. When theres a date you can always order it.

The boneheads at Tasca cancelled mine because they said there wasn't a date. Oh well, will call the sponsor tomorrow and get them to order it for me.

Looking forward to seeing more of these get done. Be thankful none of you are going after the heated wheel. This process has proved difficult and costly. Not giving up on it but not putting anything out there till it’s done and done. My current advice on the heated wheel.....don’t do it.

So switches will arrive tomorrow, SCCM on Monday and cluster on Tuesday. Trim piece is backordered as we all know. I have a little less than 200 miles until I reach the 11825 mark that I had them program into it. Luckily my commute dropped from 90 total miles per day down to 3 total miles per day. Worst case scenario I guess if I had to I could install the cluster without the trim but that irritates me just thinking about it. I'm impatient though and don't know if i can wait for the backorder....

can confirm this works for UK RHD too using breeves AB in the spreadsheet and following the usual forscan process of enabling disabling features, all listed in the spreadsheet.

Nice job! Can't wait to do the installation as well. It will be sometime though before I get the parts...

One question: I don't know if I saw it correctly on your video, but I think that you didn't remove the plastic backing and that you didn't cut the plastic back plate out, like [MENTION=29356]breeves002[/MENTION] suggested in his instructions. Is it necessary to cut this plastic back plate out in order to fit the digital cluster?

ok so you're right i haven't cut it out yet (although how you can tell that?? lol). i also don't have the bezel trim as it's on back order from Ford UK so i can't get it looking stock yet anyway. at the moment it's just wedged in and pretty secure lol

it does look like the plastic needs cutting as the dash will sit quite deep probably to help stop sunlight glare on the screen.

of course i plan on doing this, but wasn't going to until i got it working properly, that vid was taken the moment i got it working error free. :)

if i can find my dremel blades i'll do it this afternoon i think.

Congrats on getting it working!

One weird note. Looks like you actually got the -LB cluster you ordered. I ordered the -LB cluster and they sent me -ALC. This is the same with some others.

The -LB cluster seems to have the oil temp gauges and the -ALC cluster has the text line gauges. Really odd...

Is this our first RHD conversion?? Very cool if so and welcome to the club.

P.S. Nice oil temp gauge. :D

Just curious why you opted for the MPH cluster. Don't you guys use KPH there? Was it an availability thing?

You can probably flash it to the KPH version software if you can find the strategy. I'm tempted to try flashing mine to your software version to try to get the oil temp gauge...

UK uses MPH. Rest of Europe KPH. These guys do everything the wrong way, LOL!
