TempMan Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 It just so happened that while looking around on eBay for speedometers, I came across a continental speedometer, and noticed how the connector on the back looks awfully similar to the one on the MKZ cluster. What I began wondering is if it would at all be possible to do a continental speedometer swap or even one of the clusters from the aviator (although I noticed that the connectors were very different). I'm sure that through enough coding that anything is possible, and that some modification would be in order for everything to mount right but would these be feasible or worth the effort?

Jakevandee Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I would instead recommend upgrading the IPC firmware to a 2017+ for the proper digital speedo, pulling it out and 3d printing (or ordering from an online 3d printing service) a larger frame, as behind the “analog” speedo/tach, it’s just more screen. (I’ll do some digging for the print file). If you do the frame mod, a “skin” for the cluster will be needed for it to look proper and you’d do that via PimpMyFord. The mod is really popular over in Europe with the Ford Mondeo (basically a fusion with mkz cluster). There’s someone named “MA MODS” on Facebook that’s extremely helpful and am currently working with them for a design on mine. Here’s some pics of the finished product’s with and without the frame mod in other Z’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
