I'm not sure. I would imagine, if everything that controls the screens is built into the cluster, it could be swapped.

Only way to know for sure would be to get somebody with a '17 who will let you test with theirs. The first step would probably be to see if the connectors on the back of the cluster are the same between the '17 MY and the '13-'16 MYs.

You can retrofit anything.
Consider the cost of the gauge cluster.
Then consider the fact that it is illegal in most places to change the odometer reading on the car.

You CAN do it... it just depends on what you consider a reasonable amount of effort and/or cost.

As for the odometer, the dealer would have to set the correct mileage on the new cluster. Why they store the mileage on the cluster instead of the ECU is beyond me.
