2018 Digital Cluster Installation Guide

[daily driver]

First of all a HUGE thanks to Breeves002 for making this install possible. Your excellent work and write up made this install easy! I did the conversion a few months ago, and all works except I don't have an option to check tire pressure. Has anyone else had this issue and resolved it? The option to view tire pressure is not in the menu. My car is a 2017 ecoboost premium without package 401A (NAV, reverse sensors, etc.).

I wanted to thank breeves for all his help. Completed a successful install using his instructions and files. It was a breeze to do, just make sure you have a Dremel Multimax tool ready to cut the black plastic behind the cluster.

Forgive if its already here, anyone have pics of what to trim and how you did it for the black plastic behind the cluster?

It’s on the first page of the instructions. Dremel multimax tool is what you need.

50_SD just be careful and not cut too deep the air duct is right behind the area you have to trim.

Click into the Trip/fuel option to display on center then hit the arrow up until you come across the car showing tire pressure on each corner

Thanks for your reply! I tried this and the car showing the tire pressure is absent. I'm not sure why. Perhaps I typed a number wrong when programming the cluster for my car...I'm not sure and thought someone else may have had this issue and fixed it.

FAQ

Q: How much does this cost?
A: Buying new parts from Ford it is around $1600. It is about $75 less expensive for a 2018 car.

Thanks for writing this up; it's an outstanding guide! Wow, $1600 is a lot cheaper than the $2,499.99 price at I-5 Autohaus (https://www.i-5autohaus.com/product-page/2018-mustang-digital-cluster-fits-15-18-all) but maybe it is pre-programmed and plug and play. Does the $1600 include the core fee?

ghostang PM Breeves02 if you want a plug and play version. He can set you up cheaper than I-5.

Yes $1600 includes the core fee. I sell a plug n play kit for a little more then that if you PM me I can hook you up. Its significantly less then the $2500 price.

Thanks for the quick response. That's pretty good.

Thanks breeves002 for the walk through and info. I too did the conversion and it's one of the best things i've done to my S550. Only one issue: am I the only one who has adaptive cruise? I got everything to work except for the cruise control. Anyone else have this issue or am I out of luck until someone figures it out?

p.s. I've tried all the codes in the SCCM i can find, only 724-03-01: 2933 works. the cruise control option is in the IPC, but it's greyed out. Has an error code of B137F:09-0A "Steering wheel left switch" and U2101:00-0A Control module Configuration Incompatible"

Did you replace your adaptive cruise switch with the new one?

 

[theIEDmanget]

Did you replace your adaptive cruise switch with the new one?

Yes, I replaced the SCCM and all 3 switches. Think the switch may be bad?

I have Adaptive Cruise Control and I have ordered my parts as well. As soon as they come in, I am going to upgrade the car. Let me know if you figure out the Adaptive Cruise Control issue. When you say the option is grayed out, I am assuming in the FSCAN tool when you attempt to program the IPC? I shall update you once I complete my install

Below are the SCCM and Switch which I have ordered. Listing them below so we can confirm that we are using the same switches:
Left Lower Steering Wheel Switch: JR3Z-9C888-FA
Steering Column Housing Assembly: JR3Z-3F791-AA
