Mk6 instrument cluster in a Mk5
« on: November 07, 2010, 10:48:33 pm »
Will a Mk6 instrument cluster fit in a Mk5? I know the Mk6 steering wheel fits.

Cheers

I'm pretty sure it won't fit as the dash recess and cluster is a completely different shape? I think the Mk6 uses a different type of computer system which probably won't be compatible with the Mk5's system.

Someone on here is bound to know for sure though mate :happy2:

Cheers, so if I retrofitted a Scirocco cluster it would work? Could I fit the entire cluster including the new white-on-black highline?

All you need is the right controllers. It's a relatively easy swap.... but not cheap  :grin:

Garth do you know when the new black display came out? If its after 2007 youd have a nightmare recoding the cluster due to not being able to get the skc?? Even if you got hold of all the controllers?

It was after 2007 and you are correct, coding the clusters would be too difficult for most of us. There are companies out there who will do it (Star performance being one of them). As I said before, it would not be cheap as you'd have to replace most of the electronic controllers in the car to get everything talking together. You'd probably end up with more mk6 than mk5 components  :grin:

If you bought a new cluster it would come with the log in, read your current pin and code with vcds
