DIY Gauge Cluster Swap 2013-14 Ford Mustang

[@thomaspc0]

Thanks for the video. I installed my gauges today and your run-through FORscan was a great help. I had no issues at all.

[@mrpharaoh08]

Great I'm glad I could help out

[@Jhoodemcee]

My a/c controls stopped working

[@TheElectronMan]

Dude you rock... I bought a 99.00 programmer wished I had known that i could do it with a 20.00 one... Waiting for my cluster to come in I have 2013 Mustang and I bought a 2013 Premium My Color cluster off Ebay cost me 379.00 you got a rocking deal.. Hopefully mine will do the say as yours did and I just have to program the keys and all the apps work.. Thanks for the video...

[@mrpharaoh08]

TheElectronMan lol yea I got one of those obd star tools and it didn't work, so ended up finding this method. Yea I lucked out on finding one that cheap for sure. You will love it man no regrets here.

[@stevied5648]

I thought it was a plain swap if you already have the 13/14?????

[@TheElectronMan]

It is just a swap other than you have to program they Key's for it and set the as-built data mine worked fine with out the as-built data changed but the gauge cluster came out a car that had a rear backing sensors so it would try to use those every time put it in reverse so I ended up finding a as-built data sheet closer to mine and fixed that as well. The track apps and all worked start with but you need the steering wheel switch to navigate the menus right but that was only like 20.00 off amazon.. It's a great upgrade my gauge cluster cost me 380.00 of ebay but it was well worth such an improvement in the looks.

[@chriswmc1573]

Hey guys I just got a cluster for my 2014 too but I didn’t get the navigation buttons . Can I simply use my existing on already on the car?

[@nicholasgrasso1486]

Just a heads up I am in the process of doing this but the program on the computer says that the elm327 is not authentic and can not continue, I did buy the same blue elm 327 mini but I guess I just had bad luck. So make sure it says ford/Mazda!

[@chriswmc1573]

Hey boss you are a genius! My cluster just got stuck into kilometers instead of miles after I replaced the radio recently. Even ford dealership could not return it to miles! I just got another cluster off eBay.Am wondering if I need a navigation button too or I just use my current one. Any advice? By the way I have a 2014 mustang v6 convertible. I wonder also if someone can fix the issue without having to change the entire cluster. I live in New York and I would appreciate any feedback or advice from you or any mustang lovers out there…

[@mrpharaoh08]

Hey man. If it's a premium cluster then yes you would need the navigation button. And to fix that issue with the miles you would need to send it to a programmer like the one I listed. But I'm sure the correct programmer would be able to switch the KM to Miles no problem.

[@chriswmc1573]

Awesome! Thanks for this fast reply. Kindly give the programmer you mentioned. I haven’t seen it. I truly appreciate

[@aimeagle]

You my man are way to smart! This is exactly what I want to do to my 13 3.7 and had NO clue what I needed to do. The track apps work and all that with timing? Do you know if you have to have two keys because I only have one. I am impressed tbh! This is a great help! AMAZING!

[@moephillsjr]

Yes,you have to have 2 keys to program. Just go to your local Ford dealer with your title. It's like $30 for a new key

[@brianmina1966]

What do I need to put a 2013-14 cluster premium in a 2012?

[@ryanreynolds7771]

your a brilliant dude. I bought a cluster but nerves as hell doing this I got a 2011 and I need change the switch in steering wheel but I read you must rewire it . I live in Maryland wish I knew someone close to me who has done this to show me how. I think I need someone behind me to watch what Im doing, Im very impressed with your work Im sorry said slow it dwn because I was watching beginning and jumped the gun . I think to get tra apps you need swap out the abs module to have it work.

[@mrpharaoh08]

Ryan Reynolds thanks man and no problem. Yes in your case you would have to do extra which would be the module but still can use this same concept I think

[@TownCar512]

[@wyattdavis1292]

The only issue I have is I bought a cluster from a manual shift car and the S or gear selected does not show up by the odometer like the premium automatic transmission cars do. Is there a way to program that into the premium cluster or are they different?

[@kylehills2843]

Do you need to make any changes to the ABS as built data? I just picked up a 2013 premium cluster for my 2013 5.0. I didn't see you change the ABS as built so im assuming its doesn't need to be changed?

[@mrpharaoh08]

Sorry didn't see this but the as built you use has all the data you need when you transfer it over.

[@jlaw.1]

For a swap from 2010 base to premium would I mostly just have to program the 2 keys. And I wouldn’t have to swap anything else like the steering wheel right?

[@midgettiger6389]

Would have been cool to see the full install at regular speed. Did you get any weird or unwanted codes after installing and reprogramming the keys?

[@mrpharaoh08]

I only did it fast because I figured most people knew how to do it already, it was already straight forward. My main focus was getting the keys programmed. Everything worked fine no issures.

I was watching your video on the cluster swap from a base to a premium my color gauge cluster. I purchased a premium cluster and took it to a dealership to install it because I didn't have a laptop for programming. Now that the installation is complete and programming went well, everything is functioning except the gauge color change option. It doesn't show option on LCD screen when scrolling through. What did we do wrong? Please help...

[@mrpharaoh08]

You will have to find a vin from a Premium model and take it to the dealer to reprogram the gauge with it

[@josephmedrano790]

how much did the dealer charge you?

[@BryanRamirez-sd9wo]

heybossman, i really doubt you’ll have the answer but i recently did a cluster swap. before i took it to a Ford dealership i put it in myself to make sure it works. Mycolor was there & some other things. Only problem was i needed to reprogram it like you did yourself i just didnt have the accessibility to. Took it to Ford and they gave it back to me without Mycolor saying the car “doesnt” offer it. I feel like he’s bullshitting because everyone else does this like yourself? how does the car not offer it. I have a 2014 mustang, everything was fine before i took it to them. Do you know what I can do? I’m afraid that they uninstalled the Mycolor option from the center display and wont be able to get it back. I appreciate the help and great video!

[@mrpharaoh08]

They simply didn't load the right as built data onto it. You just need the vin number off a premium version of your car and get the as built from that car and copy it over to your car.
