Hey mate, I live in Australia and I’m Very interested in seeing your development as I have a gen3 coyote with a 2650 roush supercharger with the 10R80 auto. Already have a Dakota digital cluster but thinking if u get a package developed I would rather install that with mustang cluster.
This is great! I have a stand alone Mustang Gen 1 engine harness with PATS deleted. I want to use the factory gages and steering column, using the buttons to communicate to gages like cruise control and cursor buttons. what circuit boards are using ? I heard you say GUI but unfamiliar with Ardrino stuff? good luck and looking forward to your progress.
The GUI is (Graphical User Interface) ie the buttons on my laptop to control it. This was made with a Python program for testing. I am using an Arduino microcontroller to connect to the cluster and send in signals on the CAN bus.
@@07trdpro6 Have you connected to the ECU? my concern is the PATS and how that interfaces and if the PATS will it prevent coms? I believe part of PATS program is in the instrument panel. My 2014 ECU PATS have been disabled or deleted. similar to a control pack. however you seem to be able to communicate without the PATS, I'm kind of shocked actually.
@@williammarion8878 The PATS handshake is between the BCM and PCM. If the key is correct the BCM allows the cluster to power on. The BCM holds the key data, the PCM checks it to allow the vehicle to start
I also have a gen 1 with standalone harness. It’s a slimmed down factory harness. I had PATS deleted in the ECU. We wired in a random BCM from another mustang and a 2014 track apps cluster. Then made the changes in my 2012 steering wheel and it all works. Obviously the track apps and stuff doesn’t but I’ve been looking for a way to slim down the dash harness and do away with the BCM. This would be great but what I really want to figure out is how to run the 2018 digital cluster standalone but I don’t know if the gen 1 and gen 2 run on the same canbus or if they have different protocols. Because if the digital cluster could be controlled by a gen1 ECU the swap coyote and gt500 people would probably be all over it. I’m really interested to see what you do here.
@ Do you have pictures or a build thread? I haven’t gotten ahold of a digital cluster yet but it’s on my list. In theory if you fully map the 2014 ECM and fully map the Digital cluster, you can just build a gateway between them to convert from one network style to another. I have done this in Toyota. I think the Ford network changed a little between the two generations. Do you have an ABS ecu? What signal are you using to run Speed and odometer? GPS? Does your cluster not flash a bunch of errors with only the two modules on the network?
Sweet!
