I have a 2013 does anyone know if this is a Plug an Play option or does there need to be programming involved.

It needs to be programmed. I bought mine from Gen5DIY along with a Color HUD.

Also, it looks like you need to reset TPMS after the install...atleast I do.

So, got my cluster back from programming, stuck it in and started the car. It automatically updated the mileage to match my actual mileage, working.
After that, a warning came up to SERVICE PARK ASSIST. I don't have the backup sensors on my car. Don't know if this could be programmed out, could be miss communication by not telling him that I don't have them. The other thing is, my display does not tell me in what drive mode I am in. I don't see the P, D or M1, M2 and so on. If I go into revers, it does show a nice picture in the DIC. Everything else is working perfect. Try to get some pictures later.

Boy you sure want to be anonymous by your profile.

Where's NoHo?

Oh nice!!

This is on my list of mods I want to do!! What is the average cost for a shop/dealer to fix the cluster? And anyone try reprogramming from home? If so what device are you using?

I'm looking to just swap out the screen, doable?? Would it make it easier or worse to convert?

Edit: Sorry just realized your purchasing the whole cluster and just swapping them out.. Might have to check the website to see if they have the 160mph clusters available.. EBay only has the 180mph clusters.

Get the 180 cluster. Who knows? You might go Forced Induction one day.

MGD · 06-03-2015, 04:48 PM

The 180 mph is fine. I don't even know if they have a color DIC for the LT's. I put a 180 in and it read the speed just fine.

Where did you sent it to get it programmed?.. How much was it? How long it took? Will this 2015 cluster work on a 2010 model?

our redline for a V6 is different than for a V8.
Isn't it ?

MGD · 06-03-2015, 05:09 PM

Yes, the redline is different but it shows the correct RPM. You can however swap the dials out to show the 7000 redline.

Have a question about the possibility of just changing out the 2010 plain dic screen for the 2014 color dic screen.Not the whole cluster. anyone know if this is a possibility? If the screen connections are the same, i would think it would be possible. I ask because i have one i can buy for $75 bucks for the whole cluster. but all i want is the color dic.

MGD · 06-20-2015, 11:20 AM

I don't think it's possible because the old one is a DOT Matrix screen and the color one is a LCD screen.

any update with this in a 2010?
