Anyone got a copy of the 11/12 tune?
I am getting ready to do this on my 12 and the tune would really help save me a lot of effort.

I started this project yesterday for my 2012 and ran out of time with the weather we had. I should have it buttoned up this afternoon.
I was able to source a 2014cluster along with a piece of factory harness attached to it for $280. I then sourced the steering wheel buttons along with wire harness from Erik at midway mustangs. Sent the cluster to United radio and had the odometer fixed. Getting the steering wheel harness helped not having to run 2 jumper wires to the buttons. And I was lucky that I got the piece of the dash cluster harness so that I could remove the same color pins with wires to make my jumpers to the clockspring connector.
I have numerous wires/pins left over from the harness that I can help others with if they’re looking for them.
I’ll do a YouTube video once I have it all together.

Nice video.
I'll PM you shortly. I just need to connect up the Pin 3 and 11 on the C2274A connector and I should be done with the easy stuff.

I had a few free minutes and thought I would try reprogramming the keys (PATS) but I am running into an issue where it won't reprogram the cluster (no start). I am using the FORSCAN tool.

So I guess I'll try connecting the pins in the C2274A connector and re-try the FORSCAN once the wiring part is completed...maybe that is the reason for my current problem.

If that doesn't work, I'll break out the VCM and try it with that.

I am getting a PCM error "Can not communicate with PCM"
Anyone ever get that error?

I re-installed my stock gauge and the error goes away.
Any ideas?

There is one on car-part.com for 150 right now. But you would need to still get the other items. His cluster was within a couple miles of mine so not having to send it off to get programmed worked out well.

Also if anyone needs the pins that are used in the pcm and the clock spring shoot me a pm. I have about 50 of them from the connectors on the spare pcm I got. They are not the tiny ones for the switches in the wheel.

Cluster showed up and was in the car in 20 mins. Since I took the old one out and wires in the clock spring wires over the weekend. Programmed the cluster. Works perfect when I changed the as built to an auto cluster. The only down side to changing it to an auto for the trans temp and gear indicator is I lost launch control which really I would likely never use.

Need a transbrake for that sweet auto swap.
