2018 Digital Cluster Installation Guide

[theshawnb]

Do you know if you can use other drive modes while using the digital dash paired with the base 4' radio in a 2018 Mustang GT base package? I dont even see it going into sport like it did with the OEM analog cluster anymore (clicking traction twice) and Im wondering if I didnt double check a value in Forscan. Any tips on this? or if anyone else has experience with the same pairing.

They sent me the 2.3.21 release.



Finally got mine programmed! Surprisingly, the 4th toggle on the tesla radio controls the different modes except I get error messages. Only the drag strip mode seems to work.

did you ever get the 4th toggle to work and chnage all the modes? Im curious if you did.

Just finished my install on my 2018 and have a few issues

•blind spot system fault
•cross traffic system fault
•check 4x4

Also my toggle switches to change driving modes/steering mode/traction control aren’t working and redline is at 6500

I already Changed 724-03-01 to 1733 XXXX XX for normal cruise in the sccm abd

Have you changed all the IPC and SCCM asbuilt to support the 18 dash??

I did most of the programming but I can’t get drive modes enabled, still have the 4x4 error and some of the customizibility of the cluster isn’t working(thinking this has to do with the driving modes not being enabled) my color isn’t working either

Im not an expert at this stuff, but I know the 4x4 was talked about in a prior page. Just unsure of which exact one.
Im having similar issues too though, I have everything working except trip info ( which was working prior to tinkering with other stuff) drive modes ( I have a base radio but nobody has confirmed if that will 100% prevent using those, and my traction doesnt flash the big message saying if its on or off anymore.

If you guys are having significant coding issues, I recommend you pm Sam @breeves002 for help. There will be a charge but you’ll have support with that as well.

What is your 720-06-01 line right now?

Anyone having issues I do sell programming files for your cluster that will fix any errors.

I have everything working except the nav screen. Nav still works on the sync 3 but can’t be controlled from the cluster

This is the screen I’m talking about

These are my current ipc ab values

 

[breeves002]

Thats really weird. I've never seen that happen before. Not exactly sure what controls that to be honest.

When I hit the nav button on the steering wheel only a compass pops up.

 

[breeves002]

Wow that is fascinating. Its like you have it set to not have nav. Didn't know that was an option.

Your 720-06-01 line looks good which seems to be responsible for most of the menu things.

You should go through line by line and change it to my base data as I have outlined and figure out what line fixes it. Maybe we can find it. It would be cool for people without nav to have that compass pop up when they hit nav! I am out of town for the next 2 weeks so I can't try it!

This is always such a fun project because you guys seem to find options that were never intended for use in a Mustang and we didn't even think existed.

Also you should probably program your miles lol.

anyone getting this DTC after upgrading?

Code: U0542 - Invalid Data Received From Headlamp Control Module A


Additional Fault Symptom:

- Alive/Sequence Counter Incorrect/Not Updated


Status:

- Previously Set DTC - Not Present at Time of Request

- Malfunction Indicator Lamp is Off for this DTC

- Test not complete


Module: Instrument Panel Control Module

 

[breeves002]

Probably have something turned on its expecting. Not going to cause any problems though.

You need some type of post


You need a couple of plastic or metal post/ tubing behind the top cluster screw holes. Cut to the correct length they will prop the cluster up to the proper position. That position is butted against the four small rubber bumpers on the back of the cluster bevel. You would have no rattles afterwards.

What rubber bumpers are you talking about? Any pics?
