General

  • This will fit in, and be compatible with, all 2013-2018 Focus ST and RS models. Upon initial release, compatibility and functionality may be limited for certain features or data for international vehicles, non-ST/RS trim levels, or alternative engine options. We will be working with customers to push software updates as quickly as possible to resolve any compatibility or functionality issues that may come to light.

    We will be expanding to additional platforms once this one is completed. We have plans to begin development for the MK7.5 Fiesta ST next.

  • Yes! Changing the cluster’s unit setting to Metric will immediately switch all imperial units to metric universally, and change the speedometer to a Euro-style km/h speedometer.

  • Because this project is still in development, there’s no guaranteed timeline, but our goal is to have the first two rounds of preorders shipped by first quarter of 2026.

    To ensure consistent quality and keep pricing as accessible as possible, we’re currently fulfilling orders in production batches. Each batch remains open for approximately one to two months. Once the order window closes, all components for that batch are ordered in bulk, assemblies are completed, and finished units are shipped to customers.

    As DigiCluster continues to grow and demand increases, lead times may improve. For now, this batch-based approach allows us to maintain quality control while keeping production and final retail costs as low as possible during the early stages of the product’s lifecycle.

  • The best place to stay up to date on progress is our Discord. It’s also the best place to ask questions, give suggestions, and provide feedback.

    We also have a Facebook page, and a dedicated thread in the Focus ST forums where we post occasional updates.

Technical

FAQs

  • From a wiring standpoint, DigiCluster is fully plug-and-play and uses all OEM connectors—no splicing or wiring modifications are required.

    A small amount of minor dash trimming is required to create clearance for the display corners. These cuts are minimal, located deep inside the dash, and are completely hidden once installed. The vehicle can be returned to the factory cluster at any time without visible changes.

    At this time, the stock cluster’s main circuit board must remain connected and stored behind the dash to preserve proper communication with other vehicle modules. This process does not permanently modify the stock cluster and is fully reversible.

    For a detailed walkthrough of what’s involved, including step-by-step instructions and photos, please refer to the Installation Instructions page.

  • Given the restrictions of CAN bus communication, only one device can request data on the network at a time. Some read-only PIDs, such as RPM and speed, don’t follow this rule because they are publicly broadcasted. If you need to use an external device (ie. datalogging or reflashing with an Accessport, diagnostic scanner, emissions testing, FORScan, etc.), you can simply pause all active polling with a toggle in the Settings menu to allow the external device to run its own diagnostic session without interruptions.

    With the Kaiser dash, we are working on making the two compatible without causing communication issues so data can be viewed on both units simultaneously.

  • Over-the-air software updates will regularly be released. Simply connect to Wi-Fi, go to the Software Update page, and the cluster will automatically download and install the latest version.

    Alternatively, if Wi-Fi is unavailable, there will also be a USB-C port available on the front of the housing, so a flash drive can be used to install updates.
