Gonna stop by the dealer tomorrow to see what they will charge me to be able to start MY car!!! I put my original cluster back in so car runs again.

FYI ... it seems the new cluster works fine . I was able to adjust all the settings including setting the Shift Light and tone. For some reason even though I set the OIL to NEW it kept saying I needed an oil change.

It also showed two ADMIN keys were programmed and 0 MYKEYS were programmed. I wonder if adding the 2011 cluster adds the MYKEY function to a 2010 ???

 

Hmmm.... Honestly if it adds the Mykey, I'll do it for a good price...
Valet.... Girlfriend... Would be my reason.

Hopefully it's a swap they can make happen. How did you change the shift light and "tone"???

 

Via the setup buttons used to control MyCOLOR and the other functions ...

 

I have tried with those and couldn't find an option for it. Maybe I'm blind or misunderstanding?\\


Edit? Are you referring to the cluster lights? Or the "redline" light that comes on at redline? Personally I would love to be able to control that light and make it come on at a different set RPM, and be a different color.

 

It's only an option on the GT500 cluster ... just like the RED, White and Blue MYCOLOR setting is GT500 only.

 

Hmmm.....

 

Well I'm sitting here at dealer getting cluster installed. I have a buddy who is service advisor at local dealer. I told him my issue and he said bring it down and they will set it up. He said they had to do the same thing when he swapped clusters on his 2003 GT with a Mach cluster.

 

Well ... $140 later and it works. I can't believe it takes a tech 1.5 hours to reset the PATS and program the keys.

FYI ... the MYKEY information is no longer displayed so I think besides resetting the PATS they also downloaded my 2010 cluster data into the 2011 cluster so MYKEY was wiped out.

Pic with lights off ... and lights on. MYCOLOR is set to RED/WHITE/BLUE. SVT light is off because I set it as a 5300 RPM shift light.

 

With the GT500 cluster you can ONLY choose Red/White/Blue for MyColor? You can't make custom colors using RGB codes?

 

You can make any color you want. I just think RWB is the coolest.

 

just curious -- what happened with the odometer?

Do you now show the right number of miles for your car, the mileage from the car that the cluster came from, or some other random number?

 

Odometer had 0 miles on it when installed . My car has very low miles so I just need to drive for a few weeks with a tweeked rear end ratio from my Tuner and mileage will be accurate.

 

So will the unused boost gauge always show red as in the second photo? Is that part of the "idiot light" warning function?

 

Its only red in that particular color scheme.

EDIT: just checked and it's red in all schemes.

 

Okay cool, so Speaking "new" 430 from ford, plus the 150. so a little less than 600 for a new cluster.

New questions, Do you think there is a way to get the boost gauge to work?

 

You will also be charged like a $350 core fee unless you have a core to turn in. Not sure if gt cluster would qualify.

 

Hmmm... Okay

 

Just read the owners manual and the red boost gauge indicates an ALERT. I assume it's because there is no signal coming from the PCM to run that gauge ...

 

So... Your original cluster up for sale? =]

Or are you keeping it for a while to make sure this cluster doesn't crap out on you?

 

I put it on eBay. You can search on 2010 cluster.
