Has anyone installed the standard 2018 gauge cluster in a 2015-2017? (Includes digital speedometer)

[Chris227]

What part of Texas are you in? My friend has supercharged 2016 400A GTPP that he us in the middle of auto swapping and he already got a 2016 auto cluster off ebay and took it to the shop doing the swap but I'm thinking about getting him a 2018/9 cluster as a present so he can have the higher redline tach and more gauge options.

I'm north of McKinney, in Sherman.

Is he swapping from a Manual to an Auto?

Yes, MT82 to 6R80, but there have been ads lot of bumps along the road. The shop told him two weeks and they have had it four and a half months.

When you installed the 19 cluster did you happen to notice if the tach face illumination changing to red at redline automatically changed from 6500RPM to 7400RPM? I'm wondering if that feature is programmed into the cluster or the car ECU or BCM?

I haven't noticed. I would think it would match the cluster redline. I'm actually in Austin working untill Wed but will check it out Thursday and let you know.

Any luck taking it to redline this weekend? This also assumes the gauge changing to red at 6500 or 7400 is something programme and saved in the cluster and independent of where your tune has the rev limiter set.

Actually just got back in town last night. Will check it out today on the way home.

Just got her up to 7200 RPM and the dash did not turn red.
I would say it is going with the cluster and not the car.

nice to hear it worked out and great second option. people should be cautious when buying used clusters off ebay as some sellers advertise them as 2015-2018 and should make sure the cluster was pulled from a 2018 so it has the correct firmware.

I wonder if its possible to load 18+ IPC firmware into a 15-17 IPC to get the digital speedometer. Using forscan.

Where to get the correct firmware?

Someone here on the forums tried that a while ago and was not successful.

IT also seems I noticed on a 2017 GT350 with the Analog gages, someone had the Digital speedo option like the analog gages from a 2018+. I am not sure if he updated his IP or if it was an option on the GT350... might be worth looking into...

Installed a 2018 analog cluster in my 15 GT PP lately. It gave me some headaches at first. Odometer could not be adjusted though forscan says it can be done on a 2018+ cluster. Turned out that you really have to use the latest build of forscan for success. I was able to change the odo just fine after updating my software.
I then tried to use the AsBuilt from my old cluster on the new one which partially worked. Had to adjust it a bit to get rid of Auto Highbeams and turn on the regular high beam tell tail. Exhaust modes had to be deactivated, Drive modes needed enabling. My distance to empty would show garbage values around 4000mi. I got it all worked out but one thing:

I can't get the Cross Traffic Alert Messages to display on the cluster.

CTA itself is working though. I have it enabled in the driver assist menu. It activates and deactivates fine, the amber LEDs in the mirrors are indicating on startup. I have 0 DTC. When cross traffic is approaching, the mirror LED on the respective side starts flashing like they're supposed to, but the cluster is not sounding the alarm chime nor is it displaying the "Traffic from the left / Right" message.

Any of you guys who successfuly installed have any idea? I double checked my AsBuilt, all the obvious bits are turned on I think.
Could somebody share their AsBuilt with functional CTA? @p6cl @Chris227?

Thanks a bunch for your help

Do you remember what had to be changed in the asbuilt. I have a 2018 cluster but have not put it in yet because I do not know what needs to be changed after loading my old asbuilt into it.

How did you fix the miles to empty problem I just did the swap and everything is good, except mine says 999miles to empty

I don‘t remember, sorry! But I could offer you to send you my asbuilt file so you can start from there and compare it to your settings
