I have a 17 gt pp manual, these parts get here today.
JR3Z-10849-LB
JR3Z-9C888-AA
JR3Z-9C888-EA
JR3Z-9C888-CA
JR3Z-63044D70-BA
JR3Z-3F791-HA

Can anyone send me a link to the proper forscan to use, they have yet to update their website with the new one, i appreciate the hard work guys.
Let me know how i can contribute to this, i was thinking of doing a video tutorial to help everyone.
I have the same spec, 17 gt/pp manual and am dying to make this change. If you do find time to do a tutorial it would definitely be super appreciated!

Doesn't seem like it. The gt350 cluster has a $500 core charge which is even worse. You have to send the same cluster back so basically its not worth sending one in most of the time (or for the 350 there are none to send back :lol: ).

I think the best way to do this swap on the cheap is to wait and see what they start popping up on ebay for and just have the odo changed for $100~. The question is how much are they going to be as there will be a high demand for them and who knows how many are actually going to be optioned into the cars. I might play with one if I see one cheap enough. The GT500 cluster will have my attention though but that will have to be ordered.
I kinda have a feeling that the 500 cluster is going to be an LCD cluster with a unique theme. Just a hunch. The problem I have is that these are a high level option and thereby are going to be difficult to come by for awhile. Sync 3 was the same way. Took over a year and a half before they were widely available and cheap.

I wouldn't get too terribly concerned just yet. I've been having a lot of problems with shipping in the past couple of weeks as well, and it's mainly due to the sh--ty weather.

I was concerned because it was their words. However, just got notified it’s getting shipped now overnight and I have tracking. I feel better.

Hope you're right.....my pockets can't hold a GT500 but one of these will find it's way into my GT350 at some point

Heated steering wheel and heated wheel module arrived today.

Cluster and housing arrive tomorrow.

No shipping yet on column part and parts for making a wiring harness for heated wheel. Sucks on the column part because all the operations won’t work yet.

Tearing it down tomorrow and putting in the new cluster for now.
