Title: This looks interesting - Red MFD clocks to colour bespoke screen and menu

Something a bit different but love the concept. Not sure about the menus though but means keeping the MK5 cluster

If you're half decent at coding and electrics the possibilities are endless.

I have guys in work that do this stuff all the time on the computer readouts!

Wouldn't be keen on his menu system though...

i think the problem with the menu's is partly down to the cheap looking font they used.  its not very VW esque  sort that and i think your on a winner

Apparently it's an arduino or raspberry pi computer linked to the CAN then displayed on a small OLED display. If it is an arduino type set up the displays could be changed quite easily. The menu system does really let it down imho

Not sure who can do it but I've seen a GTI Pirelli with a mk3 Scirocco colour cluster fitted and a PolarFIS Advanced.

I'd prefer red needles, though. :smiley:

If it wasn't so expensive for the benefit I'd go for this mod. The cluster looks sweet! Unfortunately the new clusters can only display 4 values of the PolarFIS whereas our red cluster can display up to 6 at a time. :smiley:
