Ford Focus ST Digital Gauge Cluster + LED Shift Light!

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a project I have been working on for the past 2-3 years. It’s a digital touchscreen display to replace the stock analog unit on the Ford Focus ST.

My next goal is to add an ethanol sensor and add a readout for that on the display as well. I’m also planning on refinishing the outer display housing in carbon fiber since the color match wasn’t spot on.

Some extra notes about the project not mentioned in the video:

- Both the display and the LED shift light brightness adjust based on ambient light (I added a photoresistor inside the cabin) in addition to the manual control of the brightness. It is very visible even in direct sunlight, and it dims at night so that it doesn’t blind you.

- The display keeps track of min and max values (the small numbers beneath the main readouts), and there is another invisible button on the screen that resets the min/max values.

- I programmed the display in Python and it is powered by a Raspberry Pi 3b+

- The oil pressure and temperature data is obtained from sensors installed in a sandwich plate between the oil filter and engine block
- Coolant temperature data is from a sensor in a coupler on the coolant line entering the radiator
- boost pressure data is from the MAP sensor
- RPM data is from tapping off the coil pack

That’s dope. Was hoping to find a link as it looks like a legit plug and play. Get that thing on the market bro it would sell!

This is fucking awesome bro. Nice work man! That area also looks awfully familiar 🤔🤔 see you around man

[dariodipaola]

I LOVE THIS. This is exactly what I’ve been searching for in recent weeks 😂 have you thought about making these for paying customers?

[NaviUpgrade]

Let me know if you'd like to partner up sometime! Great work 🤘

Skip to 2:20 if you just want to see it working while driving around

I was looking to do this very same thing for my 07 mustang. You could sell this setup and make some coin. or at lease sell a how to booklet step by step with illustration and make some coin! great job by the way.

Hello. Really like your Project. Washington thinking about domingo one myself too...can you Telles me what parte you usei? What screen and whatnot...

[antoniogonzalez-uvbf]

Awesome idea and video!!! I was wondering if it is possible to take the Digital instrument panel/ speedometer from a Ford fusion and install it in an ST 🤔

You selling one bro? Thats nice as hell.

[mikeparsons]

Is this powered by an Arduino and Nextion screen? Looks excellent

Hey Epik, i am really impressed by this project and the finished looking of it. At the moment i am working on a project which aswell includes a touchscreen but i cant get my buttons to work. i didnt wanted to use the basic buttons from python because they are ugly. So i was wondering if you could send or explain to me how you made the "secret" button
Thx in advance

[MechDad]

Are you gonna be selling these? I want one please
