Instrument Cluster - Tech Package

[Wzabrouski]

Did anyone not get the tech package, and regret it? I do. I have been following a thread on how to update the 5in radio to the 7in, so that won’t be an issue. Has anyone thought about swapping out the instrument cluster??

I was in a similar situation when I researching before buying my JL. I am kinda a basic model buyer when buying most of my vehicles but the one thing I am looking at the most when I am driving, the instrument cluster, I want it to be the best one I can get.

I test drove both types with and without the base cluster and decided it was worth it for the Technology Group option to get the better cluster as I would be where you are now looking at a possible cluster swap.

I got the tech package with my JL but my wife got the 5" uconnect. I'm already planning to upgrade her to the 7" for her birthday next month. I'd upgrade her instrument cluster too, if I could find out how to do it.

There is another thread going about upgrading from the 5 to the 7. Not as easy as many thought as many of the climate controls need to be changed.

It’s not easy if you want climate control. But it’s very easy if you don’t care. That said, replacing the instrument cluster isn’t likely to be plug and play.

My experience with other FCA products would wager the cluster would be plug and play for the most part if the same model year part numbers are used.

Honestly it seems nice for a while, but once you get over the wow factor you just drive the darn thing. And with the JLs track record so far with all these issues the lest tech the better.

I have a 22 Willy’s with the base instrument cluster and I want to swap out to the bigger color screen, 68522502AB is the part number I believe but is this do able? What about the mileage?

Fully plug-and-play and they program the cluster for your specific vehicle and mileage.

Just finished this swap today. Found some guy on fb marketplace parting out a totaled 2020 Gladiator. Everything is plug and play. Only thing that annoys me other than the 41k mileage difference is that on the Offroad pages, it shows a Gladiator on the pitch & roll instead of a Wrangler like on my 8.4” lol

Now to see if one of my local dealerships can adjust the mileage.

You can change the cluster splash screen with the Tazer; I would think that would affect all the graphics.

It does not.

Did the dealer change the mileage for you?
If so, did the cluster have to be removed ?

I don't know about Canada, but in the US, If you changed the mileage lower than the actual mileage of the vehicle, you are in violation of federal and most states law if you did not put a sticker in the door jamb stating the actual mileage at the reset and are selling and not disclosing this in writing. The federal law is a felony. Be careful out there.

Ya, they can't do that.
