  • MKIV Cluster Mods (Software Based)

    Hey Guys..

    My New Diag Equipment Arrived this morning

    Now the MKIV Clusters have alot of Hidden Settings that Can be Switched on and Off via the EEP Rom

    some of these things include Features such as

    1. Milage till Empty as a display on the MFA (many mkIVs dont have this enabled)
    2. Cluster Lighting Options Such as having the Cluster Illuminated from the Point the Key is Turned (like Audi S3 S4 etc)
    3. Addition of other Features such as welcome messages.. disabling of other messages.. and if you are proficient enough with hex editing probably altering what those messages can read (think profantiys )

    I enabled the Distance to Empty feature today and the Option of Having the Gauges and Needles Lit up upon Key Turn

    What i did leave unilluminated was the Clock and the Odometer LCD screens below each Gauge.. these two only light up upon turning on of the lights..

    You can do al sorts of combinations of this (this only applies to when headlights are off) such as Needles only, Gauges Only, Needles and Gauges, Lower Displays only, etc etc etc any combination you like really .. including having the cluster fully lit all the time..

    Check out a quick photo of my cluster i took earlier.



    jokes here she is notice that the MFA is displaying KM's till empty and the clocks and odo lower LCD displays arent illuminated .. my key was in the ignition and turned to the "ACC" position..



    you can also enable and disable various other lamps etc... just for fun.... if thats what you consider...fun.....? lol

    Its all very easy and only took around 20 minutes to complete..

    fun fun fun

            nice work.

            apparently you can also unlock the function to be able to remotely lock/unlock the windows on the MK IV. (not sure if this is common knowledge by the way)

            edit: ok i just looked at the site and saw the module they have to get the windows working but apparently you can do it with a vag-com.

            seems like their is a bit of stuff which has been disabled.

            i'de be interested in having a look at the hex and mucking around.

              Do you not have cruise control on your R32?
              That is quite strange?

                I have been trying to get this done for sometime here in OZ with no sucess.

                I would like to activate the following;

                - Distance to empty on the MFD.
                - Cruise Control Icon to be displayed on dash when activated.
                - Dash to illuminate when ignition is on.

                Might have to look into getting one...

                        Do you need this specific software, or can the Distance to Empty be done with VAG.COM?

                          I will be ordering one over the weekend.
                          Hopefully it doesn't take too long to come from the UK.

                              Bit confused by some of the comments here?
                              Did the NZ R32's not come with cruise?
                              And why does the cruise light not light up when you activate your cruise control? is that something common with the GTIs and other Mk4 Golfs because I get a light on the dash when I enable my cruise control.
                              For me the only real useful feature is the enable distance to empty in the trip computer.
