thanks so much new cluster should be here this week excited
There is an option for kilometers or miles from what I recall so you will want to double check that before updating. I also believe it converts kilomoters to miles or something of that nature and most report it will be a tiny bit different than what you input. Mine was off by like less than a mile.

The first time I changed the mileage I only increased it by a few miles over what was on the new cluster just to make sure I was doing it right before updating it to the actual miles.

I installed my cluster over a year ago, I know it is mentioned here somewhere But I cannot find the comment. How come the Advance Traction icon does not show up right next to traction control off? It shows me the message when I turn it off but no icon.

You can't, its a different firmware. Needs to be flashed by somebody with specialized equipment.

Hi guys, just installed digital dash on my 16 GT manual. I coded everything and everything seems to work except for the tachometer. RPM reads 0.
Anyone know why that would be?

I have a standard cluster, but from an '18 as I wanted the digital speedometer and the tach redline that matches my power pack. I noticed when I was doing the changes with Forscan, that there is an option to enable/disable digital tach right below the digital speedometer enable/disable. I didn't mess with it because I figured it was for the digital dash, but that might be the ticket to make it work.

Figured it out!

Had to set 720-07-02 to 0000 0030.

Thanks!

Who would be able to do that? Or would it just be easier to get one of these from a Canadian car?

I'm not sure. I recall a few people here saying they were equipped to do it but can't point you toward anyone in particular. I just know it requires specialized software and hardware to do, well beyond your typical forscan setup.

Where did everyone get their clusters? I went online to a vendor and they said they couldn't sell it, that I had to go to my local dealer? Can't I just order it online and pay the core? Before I start that process, I wanted to make sure. TIA

I got my sync 4" to 8" from this forum members site. He sells the digital cluster kit as well.

Mine was probably a little lucky, found my digital cluster on LKQ Online from a wrecked donor for $160 delivered... With a little programming and mileage adjustment to match current cluster was good to go. Buying some used parts (Dash Bezel and SCCM) new steering wheel switches and dash cluster cover had a little over $500 in the whole update. Bigggggg shout out to forum member P6CL with the assistance and install. Well worth the drive and to have a new friend!!

So you can't just order the cluster online from a Ford parts dealer? I just need the cluster now, not the whole kit. I managed to find all the other parts pretty cheap. I just wanted a new cluster from Ford. Can you not do that?
