All,

since I had some time today, I finally removed the IC from my 2013 SHO to install it into my 2011 project car.

Before I had already verified that the connector is exactly the same setting. The hardware fits also perfectly into the dashboard.

Anyway make a long story short, it is impossible to retrofit for the following reasons:

1. It looks like it uses a complete different message set to communicate with the other modules. It did not boot up correctly and the car did not start either
2. Even if it would work, you cant control it as the steering wheel buttons are hardwired in pre 2013 models. The new steering wheel is wired to the SCCM which then creates network messages over CAN bus to control things.

Anyway, just thought its good to have a final answer if someone ever wondered if its possible.

Interesting.

So a simple swap is not easily achievable.

I suppose if someone was really determined, they could swap out all the sensors, etc. But I would say that would be kind of silly.

But then again, SHO owners have proven time and time again, where there's a will, there's a way.

Great initial attempt though, for sure! Kudos to you for venturing out there, and inspiring others to possibly pick up where you left off.

There is IPC configuration data and PATS info stored in the IPC.

2013 IPC Cluster ...
Removal

NOTE: It is critical that the correct Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) be installed when installing a new IPC . The IPC differs between Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) vehicles equipped with Intelligent Access (IA) and vehicles not equipped with IA . If the incorrect IPC is installed, the vehicle may exhibit a PATS no-start condition.

NOTE: If installing a new IPC , all vehicle keys are erased during the parameter reset procedure. Verify at least 2 of the vehicle keys are available prior to carrying out this procedure.
  1. If installing a new IPC , upload the module configuration information to the scan tool. For additional information, refer to Section 418-01 .
  1. Remove the IPC finish panel. For additional information, refer to Section 501-12 .
  1. Remove the 4 screws and the IPC .
    • Disconnect the electrical connector.
Installation
  1. Position the IPC in the instrument panel, connect the electrical connector and install the 4 screws.
  1. Install the IPC finish panel. For additional information, refer to Section 501-12 .
  1. If installing a new IPC , download the IPC configuration information from the scan tool into the new IPC . For additional information, refer to Programmable Module Installation (PMI) in Section 418-01 .
  1. NOTE: If installing a new IPC on vehicles that are not equipped with IA , the IPC and the PCM require a parameter reset to allow the IPC and the PCM to recognize each other. Failure to carry out the parameter reset to the IPC and the PCM may result in a no start condition.

    If installing a new IPC on vehicles that are not equipped with IA , carry out the parameter reset procedure. For additional information, Refer to the appropriate section in Group 419 for the procedure..
  1. NOTE: If equipped, the vehicle's Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) keys must be programmed to the new IPC .

    If installing a new IPC , carry out the PATS key programming. For additional information, Refer to the appropriate section in Group 419 for the procedure..
