Default 2016 f sport gauge cluster in 2015

Has anyone tried to get the 2016+ gauge/dash into a 2015. I think the gsf digital is awesome and would love to swap my 2015 out with a 2016.

I was about to buy a used one from eBay for $1K but someone bought it before me from China. If I find one cheaper I might hop on it just to see if it works.

The back of the cluster has this blue display pug that connects to the back of the head unit.
I think only the 2016+ head units have the correct plug to connect to this.
So everything might not work properly on the cluster without this connection.



$650 for a used RC-F cluster, looks like the same as the GS one:

THAT BLUE WIRE IS ONLY IF THE CAR HAS HUD that blue connection connects to the HUD module.

I remember reading some years ago someone tried this and the 13-15 Cluster would Not work, due to the Gauges and things being controls and sent direct signals to work. Maybe it was wrong, and it would?

There was also a issue about the digital displays in the newer that could not be signaled from the older models, but idk?
