Dan9014 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hi. New to the forum, just got a quick question and hope someone can help me! My car has a manual gearbox however i've noticed ones with the auto gearbox have another display above where the mileage readout is. Just wondered if it would be possible to fit onto my car or if it would be a difficult pointless job? What does it actually do? seen photos and it looks really cool. Hope somebody knows what i'm on about and look forward to a reply soon :) Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike77 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I may be wrong here, but im sure the display you refer to is just a gear indicator, 1'st 2nd, reverse etc etc. And YES it would be a pointless AND difficult task, as even replacing your instrument cluster for another one from the same model would require programming from fords, which is gonna cost you, so I'd imagine swapping it for one that isn't even designed for your car (manual gearbox) would be problematic to say the least.

StanH Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 One of the most useful changes you could make is to enable instant fuel readout, a simple job using an ELM327 without any mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan9014 Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 Oh right brilliant, don't think i will even attempt it in that case haha. Thanks for replying. Instant fuel readout does sound good though will have to look into it. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
