Teqheat Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Looking to install digital speedometer from 2011 up ford edge on 2010 Edge Sel AWD. It looks cooler than old speedometer I have on. Anyone know if its possible and how do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldo Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 They are totally different electrical architectures. It would be like trying to install Windows on a Commodore 64. You would have to change just about every electrical module in the car to make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 With access to programming the IC, maybe some wiring/soldering work, I am sure it's possible. Unlikely to be a quick switch in/out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cluster is a gateway module and distributes all the CAN messages out to other modules. What changed was the protocol of all the CAN messages. Basically the new cluster speaks a different language than the old one. No amount of programming is going to be able to fix that, you would have to create a custom "translator box" to put in between the new cluster and everything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
