I have the half height and was wondering if it's a major arse ache fitting the Highline display and what I get from doing it?
Cheers,

Try reading http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,30002.msg391651.html#msg391651 for how Rich managed it. It ain't easy & there are pitfalls.......

second post the lou has put up is well worth paying attention too, the next key questions is what age is your car, and is it a GTI? as that determines how difficult they are to find, also the most difficult thing is getting the immobiliser detail swopped over. If you have a VCDS scan of your cluster number thats the best palce to start and we can advice from there, its definately worth it.
especially if you have a nav unit or bluetooth.

Dammit Rich! I have Nav, Bluetooth 729 and no highline! Help! I can feel myself weakening.....
Seriously my midline is 964 so if you get a line on a highline 974 pm me!

Cluster swap is straight forward, just make sure you find the correct variant for your car..

I bought a Higline cluster But it was the wrong one for my car,
Part Number is 1K6920 974,
I have to sell it and try and find one that will be suitable for a 2005 GTI

Well looks like we have a match made in heaven here, Lou speak to Captain Britain and GTLee who knows a guy that can do cluster swops on 974 immo's :happy2:
Captain Britain, what part number is your cluster? Is it a 962? I have an idea I have been thinking of testing out and I can experiment on your behalf if you would like :smiley:

you won't regret mate the highline is SO much better than midline which I had before my upgrade.
-
I,ve wanted one for a while, Lee. Just sheer coincidence that one's come up.
I understand that the fitting & immobiliser stuff is something you can sort?
-
how do i know what i have and what i need? it's an 06 reg gti if that helps?

You really need to get the car scanned with VCDS to confirm the part number you have, I dont know about the MY cut overs but 05-55 reg cars are 962 parts for midline and can be codded so you might be alright with an early 06 reg, but 963 and onwards requires a slightly more specalised job. But it can be done as Lee managed to track someone down who could do it.
Lee sorry for keep on putting your name out in these posts but short of paying hazzydays a lot of money you seem to know the guy to sort these people out :notworthy:

Thanks to you both, I'm on the way to a Highline and Polar FIS+ :grin:
Lee, I've pm'd your friend to see if he can help. I reckon it'll be a big trip; I'm oop north in east Yorkshire.

Thanks for this, Do you know if this guy is legit and does the "E" on the end of the part number mean anything?

I love it when people come out with comments like this... Yes its easy if you know what your doing and have the right tools and software but apart from changing the cluster over its not HAS easy has that :sad1: The biggest thing is finding the right part number and getting the SKC off the original cluster if its over an 06 reg.
06-56 plate was the cut off for the security encryption change and part number from 972 to 973.
Still trying to find a colour screen cluster for mine :happy2:

Sorry, Maybe I made it sound too easy!
SKC from 973/974 is possible if you have the right tools and understand how the cluster works. (Some patching is required)
As far as I'm aware colour screen is only available in MK6/Scirocco. These are very different to MK5 cluster, they use a different processor (NEC) and a different communication protocol (UDS).
I have one here from a Scirocco that I am in the process of testing in my MK5, but at the moment I'm not sure if it will communicate properly with the rest of the MK5 controllers.
Once I have made up an adaptor to allow me to plug it in I will report the results :wink:
-
Kula I think you and me need to get together :love: only joking mate :notworthy: The only person I know to put the Scirocco colour screen in a mk5 is a guy over on VWNavi.com but it was a look what Ive done then nothing else no other details?
Darren
-
Everything is easy when you know how :signLOL:
I think Kalu might have some interesting skills with clusters from what I have heard :wink:
Colour screen in MK5 would be epic, especially if it has the new features with the audio screen to scroll through track listings without having to look at and operate your NAV! Although from what Eddie has said about MK6 MFSW I guess you would need that to operate.
-
Kalu,
Nice to see you at it again making the impossible possible!
Will be following with great interest. :congrats:
-
Am I right in thinking this is the same Kula off ukmkiv? I remember contacting Ray(aRd) over there and your name got mention both guys are cluster geniuses :happy2: Us guys who fit them and code them in have nothing on these 2 :notworthy:
Darren
-
Yes its the same Kalu from ukmkiv and where I have migrated from too.
Clever chap alright!
-
Have i picked this up wrong but does it mean its easier to upgrade from mid to high if your car is an 05 plate?

Good to know. This cluster wizard will hopefully work his magic on these lovely 974 clocks I have. And with a Polar FIS from Richn we'll be cooking on gas :happy2:
