AMG GTR interior upgrade

Is it possible to update the AMG GTR 2018 cluster odometer and center console with the new facelifted digital cluster and center console?

apparently the answer is no, but outside of coding, Im not sure why.

There is an indy option that allows you to move the cluster to a digital S class - just do a search. Its been asked before.

whats wrong with the 2018 cluster ?
if you don’t like it, get a 2020 instead. Ante up the ponies.

yeah, totally makes sense to trade in your whole car instead of contemplating a modification. Wait...what?

Haha I get it....I think we are just being sarcastic LOL

But in seriousness, some upgrade mods are too much headache and hassle. For coding, wiring, installation, and programming purposes it would be better off to get a new model year with the mods you really desire.

Yeah. It’s doable

Mbhouse.ca offers a retrofit. It’s not cheap.

They offer both

A digital cluster upgrade from the S class which is plug and play and the full upgrade to 2020 style. The cost is absurd frankly in my opinion for either.

Just to be clear

I’m not doing it, I think it’s absurd to do so in my opinion. I love my car exactly as it is. When the time comes, I will move on to the next one with very fond memories.

Totally agree. There are commonly done upgrades that make sense to most (tune, evm etc) and then there are obscure mods (like this one) where there's a market (or it wouldn't exist), but it's a complete waste of money to most.

Suggesting that you should just buy a new car instead of the mod though....thats really coming from a 'troll under the bridge'. Upgrades and their value are all in the eye of the beholder.

I've been shopping used GT Rs and following this post, but apparently am oblivious to the differences between the 2018s and current generation when it comes to interior appointments. What are the differences between the two that make this topic such a worthwhile consideration? Are we simply talking aesthetics or are there some key functional differences?

No key functions. Just the move from analog to digital. Push and turn buttons to touch buttons.

From there it would be true to add that there are some enhancements in the functions of the gauge cluster. For example, moving to digital such as in race mode it has a very distinct shift light for redline shifts etc - half the gauge cluster will flash red, rather than the tiny indicators in the analog version. The exterior headlights are different and there are some aero trim pieces added in the front too. Overall, very subtle.

The digital dash itself actually looks pretty reasonable -- has anyone done it? Any bugs?

Having had both analog (2018 GT) and digital (2020 GTA) I liked the analog a lot better. Much easier to use a lot of the related functions as well. Digital makes things easier for designers by removing buttons and adding complicated electronics.
