2025 Full Digital Cluster successfully installed - swapped into 2022 Wildtrak

[Ducati1098]

Hopefully it’s like the F-150, where there is a display values option that does this well - in Forscan. We have the option on Bronco FS but for now it’s not mapped to anything on the standard cluster.

Yeah. I changed some things in forscan, but nothing really seemed to make a difference. I guess time will tell

S2DZ-10849-D is the part number.
I don't know what retail or MSRP price is, it isn't listed anywhere I can see.
Cost was like $715-725ish

Great work, sir. So wait -- where did you get this from?

I ordered it from Ford.

I would presume ordering one for a 2 door like a Stroppe will show a 2 door.
I hope Ford would go at least that for to seperate 2/4 door clusters.

This was ordered and programmed using a Stroppe VIN, so unfortunately I don't think it matters. I'm guessing they all show a 4 door. There's only 1 part number.

I was hoping Ford was smarter than that,
But it seems I have been let down again.

You'll need forscan and FDRS

So if we don’t have FDRS we‘re out of luck? Maybe sweet talk someone at a dealership? I know I’ve seen it somewhere… IIRC the price tag on FDRS was pretty high…

What was the total cost for the project?

Thanks for the info, and thanks for taking one for the team.

It's $50 for 48 hours of access. Best done during the week though, they do maintenance on the weekends and can't guarantee it will be available. The dongle to use it can be pricy, but there are cheaper options. @RagnarKon has some videos on it.

I did it with FDRS because that was the easiest way. I have no idea if you can do it with forscan alone or not.
An FDRS license is only $50 for 2 days. Then you’ll need a compatible adapter. Some adapters aren’t much money.
I honestly don’t know which ones work best though, because I already have and use a VCM 3 for work.

There are cheaper versions, but I believe the VCM 3 is in the realm of $1,700, plus the cost of the interface cable.

Gonna have to wait for Panda...

For me, just over $800. But I get parts at cost and don’t pay labor. I don’t know what it would cost someone else. Depends on the parts markup and labor.

Well that's gonna suck for the manual trans people that use the tach to know when to shift (being on the left), and yes, I still see people that do it that way vs. the feel of it.

Now how about a version with real gauges and less electronics to go bad?

You mean like how the analog tach is half a mile away and tucked in behind the steering wheel on the left?

I do find it almost comical how bad even the 2025 digital cluster is compared to the one in my 2022 Mustang.
It's like VGA graphics compared to 1080P (or 1080P compared to 4K, take your pick)

(And yes, I know it's likely higher res than VGA )
