I can never leave well enough alone...

Any idea if a post 2017 Facelift Instrument Cluster can be fitted to a 2016?
Would love to have the configurability that the 2017+ allows you.
I am thinking this is a 'no', but thought I would ask the group.

Thoughts? 2006 L322 HSE LUX 4.4NA Jag V8 Buckingham Blue/Ivory - 'Col Reb'

I actually think it maybe a yes?

They are available on Aliexpress i.e. Putting an SV dash binnacle in a 2014MY etc etc

They are making digital dash for them but not sure what there like.

Evening JDGeorgia,

Hope you are well, Try these guys, they might be able to do a software upgrade, they do do the cluster skin upgrade. I have no experience but I have heard good things of them.

Good to see the Good Dr!

L494 Lever is holding up like a champ. I've driven it enough now that it is barely a novelty!
I am on just under 104K miles - so it will go to the Indy in another thousand miles or so for a 710 change and possibly a fuel filter change. It will be interesting to see what the Tech's say. So far only the Service Writer has seen it.

As far as the Instrument cluster... Mine has the 2 dials and there is a bit of information that you can display, but you don't get to choose between the Navigation/Radio/Offroad Info/etc...

There has to be some sort of computer either in the cluster itself or some kind of 'module' that controls it. I was hoping Ol' Phoenix would jump on and say... you would have to create a pigtail and enable the module through GAP IID... but I may have answered my own question.

I took a peek at the link you attached and as far as the skin... I kind of think those are some sort of a 'picture' that they can upload so your Speedo has a cool ring outline and the pic of the truck in the middle is sleeker... I don't see the categories at the top where you could get to 'Display'... I think there is a module somewhere...

Good to 'see' you. I hope your Holidays were outstanding and your Mamma 'n them are well. 2006 L322 HSE LUX 4.4NA Jag V8 Buckingham Blue/Ivory - 'Col Reb'

just been watching a video (https://youtu.be/algWb35qIIs?si=Wb0rsLykZP7I-qm_) and that range rover has had the instrument cluster replaced for the newer one

He says it is upgraded... but the quick glance at it - it looks pretty much the same as mine...
It's funny - I have watched that video before and had forgotten all about it.

Thanks for the heads up! 2006 L322 HSE LUX 4.4NA Jag V8 Buckingham Blue/Ivory - 'Col Reb'

Evening JDGeorgia,

Always a pleasure to hear from The Good Dr!

I have been busy with the Wedding of my Daughter, Graduation from the masters program for my son - his move to Nashville, TN and selling his Jeep/buying him an L494 Td6 - we just delivered it this weekend...

I may have to hold off for a bit - the kidney I had to sell for the Lever replacement is still growing back...
It was funny getting in the L494 and the gear shift was second nature... I still think the tilt well is a crumb catcher!

I purchased an Apple CarPlay/Android Auto plug and play unit for my L322 about 4 months ago. The unit from Jolly Ol' England and the L322 both came home this week - so that is my next project.

My current obsession is trying to figure out how to swap the facelift seats into my 2016. I rode in a buddy's 2024 L461 - and I REALLY want those seats...

I hope you and yours are keeping well - in The South, we would say - "How's your Mamma 'n'em?"
