The new throwback digital cluster has already rolled to Mustang customers via an over-the-air update. You should already have access to the feature if automatic updates are enabled in your vehicle. If you don’t, you must tweak some settings in your Mustang’s infotainment settings menu. Not only is it nice to receive automatic updates for fun features like the new cluster, but it is also important for receiving important security updates and performance improvements.
Here’s how to turn on automatic updates:
- On your Mustang’s infotainment screen, tap the Home button at the top left.
- Tap the Settings icon at the top right-hand corner of the screen.
- Scroll all the way to the right and tap Software Updates.
- Toggle on Automatic Updates if it is disabled.
- Select Recurring Update Schedule from the same menu.
- You can select when you want automatic updates to download and install on this screen.
Now that the update is installed, follow these instructions to activate the new cluster:
- Tap the home button at the top left corner of your screen.
- Select Features on the far-right sidebar.
- Tap My Mustang (you can also access the My Mustang screen by pressing the dedicated My Mustang button in the center console with the Mustang logo on it).
- Select Cluster Theme at the bottom of the menu.
- Scroll and tap the Heritage Guage Cluster.
Once activated, the cluster will not be removed when you change driving modes.
