Panda Motorworks Raptor Digital Dash Conversion Kit

I wonder if it is compatible with manual transmission Broncos... The Panda site does not delve into that discussion. Not displaying GOAT modes like Eco and Mud & Ruts, Panda says it works and just shows "Normal" mode, so how does the driver know if the icon display doesn't appear?

Not for $2600 bucks.

It even says at the bottom of the display “No Way”!

Yeah if it were something like $1,500 or so I'd be more interested but $2,600? Holy mother of Bronco tax!

But you can pay $217 a month for 20 years. You'll still pay on the dash after the truck is on the heap.

$260, maybe.

$260, maybe.

I imagine the Raptor Digital Dash Cluster would be well over $1K just by itself. I could not find a PN# for it but the regular Bronco cluster is like $1K. The bezel for the regular Bronco cluster is like $100.

They program it for your VIN before shipping and you need to send them your vehicle mileage. This could become problematic later If you sell or trade the Bronco. Don't you need to certify that the odometer was not modified? Would this count as modifying the odometer if the milage is not a correct representation?

Unless you enter your mileage at the time of purchase and leave the Bronco parked until the kit arrives, it is going to be incorrect.

Still no clock in the gauge cluster.

They basically took the Bronco Raptor cluster and hacked it to work on the standard Bronco. All of the cluster's graphics, drive modes, etc. are from the Bronco Raptor. Obviously some of the Bronco Raptor drive modes are unavailable on the standard Bronco and vice versa... so there is a fair amount of "jank" to it, and some of the graphics just don't work properly. It is also very unlikely to function properly on the manual transmission Bronco, because the Bronco Raptor doesn't have a manual transmission option. But I don't think anyone with a manual has been brave enough to try it yet.

The biggest issue, in my opinion, is they took $900 - $1,300 (price fluctuates based on availability) in official Ford parts, and are selling it for $2,600. Obviously they have some labor costs for the programming piece. But double the cost of the parts alone?!? Meh...

Agree the price is ridiculous..

I would have considered it at $1,500 but now that I think more about the odometer issue, I think I'd pass on it even if it were $1K..

I might be alone, but honestly I like the factory dash display better. "Upgrade" that's generous. Looks more dated then my old 84 Elderado. Plus when the digital dash goes out, which they all do, I'll still have a speedo.

Clears throat: um yes I have 30 miles, send order.

I kinda agree with you. I like the gauges now.

Once I took the hard top off a month ago, I finally figured out why there is an analog, sweep-needle speedometer. The sunlight can wash out the digital side of the gauge cluster but the speedometer always remains visible.

And as a manual owner, the synthesized sweeping analog tach is what you really want anyway.

I'd pay Ford for a few hundred for a software update that gives a "my view" configuration of the Raptor fake tach.

I just want a dash from a manual '18-23 Mustang w/MyColor personally, like the modes and the color changing options. @Ford Motor Company 's the only company afaik that offered a MyColor option, why not for the Pony of the Trails?

Good grief indeed. That upgrade be for the rich folk.

I wouldn't be surprised to see an all digital instrument cluster with the MY25 refresh. The current MY F150s have now all gone to a fully digital display IC for all trims. Pic below is from an XL trim SuperCrew.
