Has anyone looked into seeing if there is an anti glare film/spray that can be applied to the screen?

The second thing that I noticed was the glare on the digital dash. There were moments when I couldn’t see my actual speed and rpm. This is an issue for me and got me think twice whether I will install the digital dash or not.

You guys need to try my 'Eliminator Shield XM47' form page 33 on this post. since i've installed it on mine, I haven't had a glare problem. :clap2:

Done with the installation

However, Forscan only read APIM and BCM and PCM, there is no IPC or SCCM or anything, does this have anything to do with my OBD adapter? I use the $19 one in the first post

Yeah.It can't read the high speed buss, which is where they sit. You should just buy the https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006NZTZLQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Bluetooth one. The one you have will work but it needs you to install a DTDT switch.

I have a question, I own a 2016 Ecoboost premium with pp, the switches on the steering wheels are opposite to the 2018 one, when I order the new switch assemblies, do I have to re-wire the wires connected to the assemblies (since the right wire was for music, and left wire was for computer).

No. you install the 2018 SCCM and program it with the correct codes into it- It will read the new switches in the new positions. thanks to Breeves for all this

Would this OBD tool work?

IDK, But i can tell you amazon has pretty liberal return policy which ought to apply to the other one. Out.

Yes that will work fine. If it says it works with FORScan and has a switch it will work.

The programming is still required even for the 2018 model?

Yes. The clusters don't come programmed to your specific car. It will have many errors otherwise. Plus you have to change SCCM programming for the new steering wheel controls to work.

I sell ready to go files you can just upload to your new cluster if you're interested. PM me.

Finally got my cluster in today and have it 98% - two outstanding things I'm hoping to get some help with.
- I can't seem to get the Rear Defrost to show up in the Remote Start menu

- I'm getting a DTC U0401 "Invalid Data Received from ECM/PCM"

Everything is up and running perfectly, damn, it was so much cool :cheers:
