Digital gauge cluster.

Hello everyone. Has anyone swapped out their 8 inch cluster for the 12 inch digital cluster? I have a 2023 sport prestige model. The same model in the Canadian and Korean markets have the full digital dash. I don't know why the 12 inch gauge cluster was not offered in the North American market

Yes, a few people have done the swap. It's a complex retrofit, not plug-and-play. You need the 12-inch cluster itself and a special service to program it to your car's VIN. Dealerships won't do it. The cost for parts and coding is high, often over $2000. It can work, but the risk of errors or glitches is real.

It was available here in 2021. I had one. It was a $1,000 option and I really did not have a choice. I would not pay for it again if I had a choice.

We now have two other new vehicles with big wide TFT panel that span 2/3 of the dash. I do like them, but the cluster/panel directly in front of the driver isn't really all that more useful. About the only thing that I really like is the blind spot monitor (side view camera display) that pops up when I turn on the turn signal. That is a great safety feature with a very tangible benefit. Probably could be worked into the center infotainment screen if the car mfr wanted to, but the reality is any new car designs from now on will be 100% TFT panel. Meanwhile, I'm gonna enjoy the cars I still have with good ol' analog dials, for however long I have them.

The expense it would take to retrofit digital cluster is just not worth it. Save that cash towards your next car buy.

Thanks for all of the replies to my thread. After looking into it as well, it not worth it.
