Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    You can retrofit the dash with the full size MFD (multifunction display), but be prepared to pay ~ $1000 for the instrument cluster + coding from your VW dealer.

    We have done some Polo Nav conversions for dealers.

      No luck. I can't see anything that can display track titles on the MFD. I did find out about something call GALA, though!

        I think you will find the pic supplied is of a golf with Sat Nav fitted. That would explain the extra functionality over a standard Golf.

            do you have details of this? i'm interested to explore the option of retrofitting the MFD in the polo gti.

            what would it display?? i'm guessing the current gear would not appear there since it's a manual gearbox? any pictures of a MFD on a polo gti?

            btw, can't the MFD be changed alone without changing the entire instrument cluster?

            while we're at it, i also have additional questions which if anyone else could answer would be most appreciated:
            1. in my car, i don't have a door open sensor (only for the boot). there is a light in the instrument display but it never lights up. can this be retrofitted?
            2. there is also an indicator that lights up if you have forgotten to put on your seatbelt. this lights up when i turn the ignition but it never works. can this be retrofitted?

            pardon my ignorance about these things. they're new to me. just exploring options to do these.

            thanks.
