You will love it. I was nervous about the install but I followed @Stock_stinger 's steps and took my time and it went very smoothly.

Good deal! I can't wait.

The cluster from g70 looks identical. Will it work?

You’ll have to blaze that trail for us. It’s a worthy cause.

highly doubt it. mounts arent the same. plug is but not wiring

Half way through the install. God bless Kia for using the same screws for all the trim pieces for this install. And for non breaking clips that don't pop off the trim pieces and fall behind stuff like my previous G8.

All done and LOVE it! There is even a chime that comes on when the car is turned off that wasn't present with the 3.5" cluster. Pretty cool. This has to be the easiest car I've ever worked on when it comes to trim.

Well, my cluster is on the way. Hope everything goes as smoothly for me!

Good deal! It should go smoothly and is definitely worth it.

These DIY upgrades on this car remind me of my Dodge Magnum. You could pay something like $300 for the auto on headlights option, or when you got the car--just pull off the headlight switch knob and remove the tab from the back that prevented you from turning it to the 4th position that was auto headlights. The car already had the option installed and wired up.

Thanks to everyone that Keeps finding a way to make these things work on the car!

Where do you get those clusters? Ebay only has the ones with 3.5 display.

I used Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market . I also bought a new clear cover as there were fine scratches on the one that came installed on the cluster (although I don't think I would have noticed them). I purchased it from kiapartsnow.com Part number 94360J5000

And now I want more factory mods. I think I have a condition.

FOUND ONE!!!!!!

 

[ghodge]

Good deal!

thats cool people with the smaller LCD cluster screen can upgrade so easily. This obviously begs the question then - What are the chances that the new full digital cluster from the Korean market refresh is as simple of plug and play option? I am sure I am not the only one to have this thougth, but surprised it hasn't been brought up in this thread yet as this is really good info for the current cluster swap.

 

[Stock_stinger]

i dont think the updated car will get anything different in the cluster other than a few misc changed settings which prob wont be compatible

Wanted to mention I have the ability to do the coding now if anyone needs it done. Both mileage and variant coding.

If purchased new gauge cluster 7” can u set the current mileage of my 2019 stinger
