Ford S-max 2007 2.0 TDCi tacho dashoboard exchange - Maxidot to Convers+. Also applicable for Ford Mondeo mk4, Galaxy. Swap was performed because of not working MaxiDot display. / placekmich
just to add when swoping make sure the new cluster does not have crash damage data or there will be a airbag warning on and will need to be cleared ........ cheers
I saw your other video doing same thing to an Ford Mondeo MK4, and it was way less steps and easier. Does it needs to dismantle so many panels and screws to change the dashboard on a Ford S-Max?
Hello! I'll probably buy a Convers+ dashboard, I found it not expensive. The question is, what diagnostic equipment will I be able to synchronize the panel with my climate system? I can edit the odometer readings using my scanner, but the rest.
If you´ll find dashboard with smaller meleage than your original dash you can use Fosrcan (free extended version) with this: www.aliexpress.com/item/1642318181.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.21efa396rYYxTi (I have USB with FTDI chip version). If you have bigger mileage you have to find somebody who can do it. I did not any synchronisation of climate panel with dashboard - it was just plug and play.
And which software are you using? Try forscan from forscan.org. There is an option to activate extended version where you can read and write data in car units.
Ahoj, mám galaxy 2008 a úplně stejné budíky jako vyndáváš na videu. Protože se mi asi měsíc různě zasekávají ručičky , nebo různě se i přetáčejí, pokusil jsem se v nich dle návodů na youtubu přepájet co šlo. 3 dny to fungovalo a už je všechno zase špatně. Uvažuji, že místo opravy u někoho, raději koupím convers +. Opravdu to stačí jen vyměnit? Dal bys mi nějakou radu? Díky za případné info. Ať se daří.
Ahoj, ano opravdu je to jenom o výměně kus za kus. Je potřeba si dát pozor akorát na kilometry - pokud mají nové budíky míň než stávající na autě, jde to nastavit přes rozšířenou licenci Forscan, která je zdarma a levnou diag z číny. Pokud mají najeto víc, už to bude muset udělat někdo, kdo ví co a jak a má potřebné vybavení. Dále je asi potřeba zjišťovat, zda budíky nemají uloženou bouračku v sobě (to já jsem popravdě neřešil, protože mě to nenapadlo, ale někdo to tady zmiňuje v komentářích) - pak bys musel údajně vymazat crash data a to si nejsem jistý jestli jde přes Forscan. Jinak na fcb skupině prodávají budíky už s rozšířenýma funkcema a nahraným cz jazykem včetně nastavených km, ale stojí víc než se dají sehnat na vrakáčích a tak, ale zase je tam určitá záruka že budou fungovat. Tak držím palce ať se zadaří.

Where did you buy the dashboard and how much did it cost? I would also like to change the instrument panel
Hi, I saw your videos of changing Maxidot odometer to Convers+. I have few questions, I have Ford Mondeo Mk4 2010, 1997 cm³, 103kW, diesel automatic gearbox version. But it has same old odometer like you replaced and It doesn't show real-time car running speed in digital format, which is the only reason I am thinking of upgrading it with Convers+. Can you tell me that after replacing I would be able to see real-time car speed in digital number? 2nd question is regarding Bluetooth, my car doesn't have a Bluetooth for mobile, can I enable Bluetooth by installing Bluetooth module CS7T-14D212-AG ?
Hi, digital speed is additional function which was activated by local programmer. Original convers dashboard this functionality don't have. Regarding bt module, it depend which radio unit you have. If supports bt streaming or not and it also depends if you have cables prepared for bt module.
Is the just plug and play? Any modding or programming needed? I have an old smax 2006. I heard many people reporting issues with airbag and seatbelt warning🤔
Hi, only kilometers are needed to adjust. No other modding is needed. Airbags light warning appears when face-lift dashboard is installed to pre-facelift car.
@@Placekmich how do i know? My car is old, not facelift, but when if tye new dash came off a facelift car? Like i got offered a display from a newer Smax, but i don't know if its a facelift or not. And can i edit mileage i free version forscan? I cant seem to find it 🤔
PreFace-lift dashboard has silver frame and analog arow for fuel, there more differences, try Google pictures... Extended licence for forscan is free for one month and could be extended.
@@Placekmich Silver frame and analog arrow for fuel is the Pre-facelift, the facelift don't have arrow for fuel or motor temperature, he have an old 2006 S-Max, so he have a Maxidot cluster.
Hello! Did the exact same thing but the cluster works but the display is completely black... I mean, when I open the door, it flashes the logo a couple times and then you can barely see the logo, but it's there
Hi, I cannot say what is causing that. Did you tried disconnect the radio unit if it is help? Or try to adjust dashboard light with knob next to light switch.
hello, can it be put in a Ford smax 2007 and what frame should be put and if it is plug and play or should something be modified, I await your response, thanks
Hi, no physical modifications are needed. Just replace maxidot / halfdot dashboard for the convers. Only mileage has to be adjusted accordit your old dash. And yes it will work also for your s-max 2007.
@@Placekmich Hello, thanks for answering, but the frames do not have anti-start, so as you say, it is plug play, remove one and put the other in like that.
Hi, on my other video with Ford Mondeo it is visible. The Part number is 8M2T-10849-VC. But you can use every dahboard Convers+ and it should work. Only thing you need to keep is pre facelift version for prefacelift car and facelift dashboard for facelift car.
If you have facelift version of the Ford S-max you have to search for dashboard panel from the facelift version. Pre-facelift and facelift instrumental panel are not compatible without modification of the panel.
Yes, but access on them you have to uncover upper side of steering wheel cover which is held by another 2 screws. For ford Mondeo it is easier because upper cover is not held by screws.
Ahoj, chci se zeptat na S max 2008 mám problémy s budíky už jsem měnil asi 3 a chvili jdou teď rafičky pak zase ne, tak jsem koupil právě dnes ty barevné Convers+ už, ale po zapojení se zase odpojují a připojují furtr dokola, je mozné, ze to bude někde v káblech nebo mám takovou smůlu, že všechny budiky co koupím jsou ko. děkuji
Ahoj, upřímně pokud už jsi vyzkoušel několik různých budíků, a chyba se opakuje, hledal bych chybu jinde. Další možností je vyzkoušet koupené budíky u někoho, kdo nemá problém (třeba v Mondeu, kde je k budíků jednodušší přístup).
@@maramaryhrasek8485 škoda, možná se poptat na fcb skupině Ford Mondeo mk4 cz/sk, zda by nebyl někdo ochotný... Občas tam i nabízejí úpravu nebo opravu budíků.
Hi, no it isn't. In the dashboard there is no immo or similar things. It has nothing to do with keys or starting. For mondeo mk4 or s-max mk1 you can change dashboard without any problems.
Hello. I have problems with my dashboard, exactly the same as in your video, with a rectangular screen. But when I bought a panel with the same screen as mine, the climanic system does not work at all. A car with the same system as in this video. Sincerely, Konstantin.
Hello Konstantin, is climatic panel working with old dashboard? The new one could be broken and it disable the climatic panel. I would recommend to try another or old dashboard to eliminate or confirm failure in new dashboard.
@@Placekmich Yes, I got my dashboard back. However, I soldered the processor and everything got better, for a short time. The climate system works with the old panel, no problem. Have you sold your old dashboard? Maybe I could buy?
@@konstantinsavchenko2622 I had the same Idea to solder socket on the board but unfortunately during assembly back I broke the LCD completely (and problem with half working LCD was not repaired anyway). So I have no spare dashboard. I am sorry. Try some local scrapyard to find some convers dashboard. Sometimes you will find really cheap ones as I did. Cheaper than repair of old ones.
@@Placekmich I could insert my lcd screen, no problem. If you didn't throw away the old panel, even without a liquid crystal screen, then it's okay, I would buy from you. Sincerely, Konstantin.
@@konstantinsavchenko2622 I would prefer to keep them because I have also mondeo MK4 with small display. So I would like to do sopme experiments with this.
I have a 2006 model and just intalled a converse plus and although everything works ok..i have no lights on the dash panel..climate control radio and all the other buttons..also the same on the steerine will..why??
I have no clue, in my case everything worked on first trial. I would change old dashboard back to see if the problem remains, just to be sure if the problem is not in the convers...
Unfortunately, the 2006 modell S-Max up to nov-06, I remember correctly, does not support the Converse cluster. The firmware in the GEM module is too old. I don't know if it can be updated, but someone said it couldn't.
Hi, if you have facelift version of car, you have to search for facelift version of the dashboard. It will work. You cannot combine pre-facelift dashboard on the facelift car.

Correct

Does it needs to dismantle so many panels and screws to change the dashboard on a Ford S-Max?
Yes, on the s-max it's more difficult due to top steering shaft cover - there are two hidden screws which aren't in the Mondeo.
Nice video!!

Hi, I bought it from the scrapyard from broken mondeo. Total cost with additional functions activation and language change was approx 200 euros.

Correct, just replace dashboard and set km according you original meleage.
@@Placekmich muchas gracias 👍
hello after the replacement did you have to connect the car diagnostics to run it or did you just plug in the connector

Do you need to code the new cluster? I have heard car wont start if you buy new cluster and dont code that because car has immobilize in the cluster??
You don't need to code immobiliser, data are not stored in the dashboard. You heard probably about wv cars.
Hi. Nice video! how we can adjust mileage? And someting what we need to do for full eorking?
Thank you
Hi, see my other video with Ford Mondeo, there is shown procedure for mileage correction. th-cam.com/video/dNT69NaSe2k/w-d-xo.html
did you disconnect the battery before you did this job ... cheers
Hi, no I did not disconnected the battery, but I would recommend to disconnect it. Just for sure.
Hola qué referencia de cuadro has montado en el vídeo, gracias
I am sorry but I don't understand your question.
Is it possible to do the opposite? Downgrade from Convers+ to the Maxidot?
There should not be any problem. The procedure is the same. It is just plug and play. Only mileage has to be adjusted according to original value.
I'd like to add dark theme and other updates to my Convers+ from 2007 ?
Hi, yes this is possible on convers+ from 2007. You have to find your local expert who can do it.
