2018 gauge cluster retrofit

[HotBadgerFart]

A few questions...

1. How much does it cost to do the cluster swap to the 2018 digital cluster?
2. Where can I order the digital cluster?
3. I have a 2015 Mustang GT Premium with track pack (6speed) - will the digital cluster work with that? And will all the features work?

Thanks

He's implying to read the thread, I believe.. And He's right - All of the info is here, and it is currently spread thin as only a few have approached this..

The information WILL be organized. It just currently is not.

We have done lots of looking, digging, research and trial and error, Please - Read what we have put into this thread, at the very least.

Thank you for clearing things up I have gone through quite a bit of information but it's so scattered and wanted to see if someone had a concise succinct write up

Thank you folks for implementing this mod and for sharing everything with the rest of us along the way. Is it a lot to ask someone to write a comprehensive guide on how to retrofit the digital dash, including all parts needed and prices? This very useful thread is getting really long...

Just want the steering wheel

Can I just add the 2018 steering wheel to my 2016 Mustang GT 300A (base package)?

If you guys that are taking the steering wheels out want to sell your old ones, please let me know (if it works).

Thanks.

You'll need the updated (2018) air bag as well, it's different.

Thanks!

I'll guess I'll need the airbag, too.

The part number for the 2018 air bag is JR3Z-63043B13-CA

So no one has asked yet in this thread - for a 2018 owner, what is total cost savings buying and doing the swap instead of paying for the factory “option” through Ford?

^^ this.

I have a 2018 premium with the performance package. Hindsight being 20/20, i wish i would have gotten the 401...oh well

From what I can tell all i need is the actual cluster, and it should be a direct plug and play swap for me, correct?

I can almost guarantee when you factor in the time, cost of reprogramming the cluster mileage and likely bugs you'll have to work out in the process of doing this swap it will come out way cheaper to just get the 401a.

Completely disagree. 401a is a $2200 package. For a 2018 I would expect this swap to cost around $1500 total. You will only need the cluster and the bezel, no sccm, wheel, or airbag required. If the only thing in the 401a package you were worried about was the cluster then it is most certainly cheaper.

You will need the cluster and bezel. Should bolt right in for you without any modifications required but programming will still be required.

Would you do this tutorial? Very much needed for the rest of us who are also interested in this mod :headbonk:
