This will fit in, and be compatible with, all 2013-2018 Focus ST and RS models. We will be working on a version for SE models, but this will not be available upon initial release. Due to different wiring designs and strategy configurations, we will need additional time to adapt the cluster for SE models.

We will be expanding to additional platforms once this one is completed. We’ll be developing a version for the MK7.5 Fiesta ST next.

Yes! We will have an option for a primary KM/H speedometer, as well as different units. If there are any major differences in the international models we happen to miss in the early releases, please let us know and we’ll be happy to make the necessary changes in a software update.

Because this project is still in development, there’s no guaranteed timeline, but our goal is to have the preorders from late 2022 built and shipped by early Q2 2024, and the next batch of orders shipped roughly a month or two later.

To help speed up the development and production process, we are currently taking orders, in order to cover development costs and stock up on parts to prepare for initial release.

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.

Wiring-wise, it’s fully plug and play, utilizing all OEM connectors. The only modification necessary is cutting small notches on the inside of the dash to fit the corners of the display. However, these are relatively small, and far back enough that with either our cluster or the factory cluster installed, it’s completely hidden, so you can easily revert back to stock if necessary.

As of now, it will also be necessary to disassemble the stock cluster to remove the main PCB and leave it plugged in behind the dash. The stock cluster is a part of a fully integrated system in the Focus, and it communicates with several other modules, and controls a handful of features that we don’t want to affect. We’re looking into a solution to be able to eliminate the stock cluster entirely, but in the meantime there is no real modification required to the cluster itself, and is also fully and easily reversible.

Given the restrictions of CANBUS 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 aren’t requested in the same manner. So if you have the Monitors page pulled up on the cluster to view additional data, you cannot have the Accessport plugged in to view data there as well. If you’re plugging it in to datalog or reflash, the digital cluster work as normal except on the Monitors page, in which case it will detect another device requesting data on the network and pause data polling. If you plug in a shop/code scanner, a computer for FORScan/FoCCCus/etc., or are getting emissions testing done, it will also pause data polling on the Monitors page. 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.

We will release regular updates on our site that you can download to a USB flash drive. Simply plug it into the dash, go to the Software Update page in settings, and it will begin updating.

We are working to add over the air updates as well for an even simpler process.
