  • Coming soon to my MK7 GTI PP the Virtual Cockpit

    So I decided to do this to my MK7 GTI Performance Pack. I already have converted my radio to a Discover Pro with the MOST connector (fiber optic) so the car is ready. Hopefully next weekend we will do the work. Thanks to Dean from VW Central who is assisting with this. I will take photos as the car is done ( I am doing the fitment work).

          very good DIY guide for similar project HERE

          Please don't PM to ask questions about coding, or vehicle repairs. The better place to deal with these matters is in the forum proper. That way you get the benefit of the wider expertise of other forum members! Thank you.

            It's a dashboard.
            If the answer to the Monty Hall problem was 50/50, the contestant, on average, would win the car 50% of the time simply by sticking with their original guess...but you can only win a one-in-three guessing game 33.33% of the time so it can't be 50/50, can it?

                What discover pro unit did you use? Did you handle component protection yourself or get a pre-hacked unit?

                  I have a Discover pro MIBII High with a MOST connection on it. Still has not happened yet. Component protection and coding is done through VW Central Contact.

                    ^ I’m looking to do this as well. Sourcing the AID from Euro Car Upgrades, just checking price. Can I piggy back on/with your install Peekay?

                      You will need to contact Dean from VW central mate.

                        Have done so, mulling over the value equation. Did you get your install done today?

                              I grew up playing Mechwarrior and watching anime and BladeRunner. So I had to have the virtual cockpit and dynamic indicators in my GTI. So I found it worth while.

                              Functionality wise. If you use the built in maps a lot worth it. Otherwise, I'm not sure. It's not as configurable as Audi or the new cockpit VW is showing in the new Tiggy and it doesn't change between drive modes like Fords does in the new Mustang.

                              If you mostly use Carplay and Android Auto, it kinda just leaves the ability to show cool graphics for driver assist as it doesn't mirror the CP or AA maps or track info.
