Title: Highline dash
Post by: Syrag64 on August 18, 2010, 08:59:16 am
I've done a search but have not really found the info i need, I have the ability to change some of the functions like coming home lights, footwell brightness, auto door locking etc etc...does this mean I have the highline dash? Or do these functions come with the midline?

If you can change those functions then you have a highline, midline just gives you the trip computer.  The other acid test is do you get a little picture of the car when a door is open, rather than a light.  If you do then thats highline.

Sorry for butting in but can someone explain why my display has a plastic line  seaparating the display screen
But i still see icons and a tiny picture of  the car in the top section.
Is that midline?
I thought when you have midline you only had info and icons in the lower half of the display

If it has a line seperating the two screens that sounds like a midline. The highline was like the piccy above.

I thought so,
Can you believe the last owner ticked almost every option, spent nearly 29k, and left out the highline  :stupid:

Especially as it was like a £50 option I believe.

It should come standard with the GTI's really peeved me off that I didnt do my research when I bought one. Had a few expensive extras a part from highline.  :fighting:

Yep your right. It was VW being tight if you ask me.

From what I have read its a total pain to get one retro installed.

Not difficult - it's easy to swap the units over. The coding is the bit that takes effort.
