Digital cluster retrofit — Porsche 970
Porsche Panamera Digital Cluster Upgrade
The first-generation Panamera — the only unit in this range that carries an HDMI input as well as CarPlay and Android Auto, which is why it gets asked for by name. A 12.3" 1920 x 720 panel, integrated replacement for the 2010-2016 cars: plug-and-play harness, CAN bus plug-in, no coding — and because the original mainboard stays in the car, mileage and service data are the car's own.
What you get
- 1920 x 720 panel - 12.3-inch on the Panamera and Cayenne, 10.25-inch on the Macan
- Original cluster mainboard kept - mileage, service intervals and warnings stay the car's own
- CarPlay and Android Auto built in; the Panamera unit also takes HDMI in
- No flashing and no coding after fitting
- Plug-and-play harness on the factory connector - no wire cutting, no splicing
- Left-hand drive only on the Panamera and Cayenne; the Macan has a separate RHD build
What it looks like
Fitment at a glance
Everything in this table comes from the fitment we quote from — if your car does not match a line, we will tell you before you order rather than after.
| Chassis | Model years | Panel | Factory PCM | Fitment type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 970 | 2010-2016 | 12.3" | PCM 3.0 / PCM 3.1 | Integrated replacement |
Built for cars on PCM 3.0 or PCM 3.1. Left-hand drive only: there is no right-hand drive build of this kit. The original cluster mainboard is retained, so mileage and service data stay the car's own.
Questions on this chassis
Is this available in right-hand drive?
No. The Panamera kit is built for left-hand drive cars only, and it is not something that can be adapted afterwards. If you are quoting a UK, Australian or South African car, tell us and we will say so up front rather than after the order.
What does the HDMI input do?
It lets an external source put a picture on the cluster panel itself. That is specific to this Panamera unit in our range — the BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and Volkswagen clusters do not carry it.
Can I test one unit first?
Yes. One unit ships at the same unit price as any larger order, nothing commits you to a second order, and a test unit leaves the factory in 3-7 working days.
Is coding or an odometer setup needed after fitting?
No. The original cluster mainboard stays in the car, so mileage, service intervals and warning data are the car's own. Nothing is coded, flashed or reset.
Will it fit the car in front of you?
Two questions and a photo is usually all it takes. The checker answers from the same table we quote from.
How it mounts
Integrated replacement — 970
The cluster body is replaced outright with the new panel and the original mainboard is transferred into it. The binnacle keeps its factory position, the original trim frame is reused, and the car's own data feeds the new screen because the logic board never leaves the car.Time in the bay. Ten minutes. The cluster goes onto the factory connector through a plug-and-play harness, so there is nothing to code and no odometer to set up. A shop that swaps the cluster board instead keeps the car in the bay for 90 minutes or more, then adds flashing, coding and a mileage correction on top.
