Ok still no success. I tried the PCM code from dmhines and entered a 2013 VIN. This time it was able to communicate to the module, download the calibration, i had to manually enter the AS built, however, the ABS light and the traction control light don't stop blinking. DTCs are Yaw Sensor test failed and Incompatible Software Component.
Interestingly, IDS can't communicate with my PCM with the 2013 PCM code and it can't communicate to the ABS Module with my original PCM Code and VIN. Something doesn't like each other.
Maybe Zero has an idea?

No, i haven't done the Cluster with black box yet. That is after my navigation retrofit. I just tried to put the new ABS module in. Maybe it will be different with a 2013 cluster? However, i currently run a 2012 cluster and that did not make a difference.

Like AJPTurbo,
Our cluster is working great. Everything is accessible and fully functional. Almost feel guilty how easy the swap is into a '13. Another person here in ATX picked up a premium LCD cluster on ebay for $250 this week. We will use my VCMII for his install. He will only be into the swap for under $300 total since the mileage is so close already. MyColor is not a big deal for us, since all of our instrumentation already is all "ice blue" Changing the color of the speedo would look out of place on this car.

Ok, so the only time you need PTS (oasis) is when you are working with specific module firmware. Like the APIM. I think I have a work around for this, but I'm not going to post it here. PM's will be sent.

Usually, when searching for parts, you have to replace the fourth character in the part number with a 'Z' insdead of a '3'. Instead of DR33, try DR3Z when searching.

Matt,
Thanks for the offer, but we have to move that out a little bit. I am still in Europe..... I will PM you on the timeframe when we can do this...

Yeah I know...I feel everyone's pain on this swap...It really is easy going from new to new.
I'd still love to have the mycolor menu screen so I could match the cluster with my autometer boost and fuel pressure gauges...I was able to match the OEM cluster to my gauges and it actually made me horny lol.
The ice blue is ok but if I have to give up mycolor to gain the modern font that I like I guess I'll have to deal.
Deerslayer when you put your parking/headlights on does your ice blue dim down a bit? I know usually dash lights dim a little when you have lights on because it's dark out and they don't need to be as bright but I can't remember if my old cluster was doing that?
I wonder if Zero is still working on a firmware flash for the boss cluster?

Can't access my ACM as it has a different VIN than the car (I retrofitted the NAV) Wanted to update the programming with that of a 2013 since I am getting a code saying that it is not communicating with the cluster.

To be honest, Titanfall has really jacked with my time
Do you know the Part # of the ACM?

Jim .. do it the same way you did the ABS ... start new session and keep telling IDS its wrong and put in the 2013 info ... it will allow up to update the ACM with 2013 code ... I did it when I was trying to figure out my Subwoofer and Parking Assist volume issue.
