I know a little bit about the rcd510 and can gateway but i would like to know how easy it is to get the digital climate control and which dials are best and if i can use full multi function display even though i currently only have half ?

Any info would be great, thanks guys

Its not gonna be easy. You'll need to retro fit all of the  motorised flaps for heat control and air flow. Its far from impossible, and also far from easy!

Oh its all motorised is it ? I thought it might of just been a straight swap or something. Do you need vagcom to do it because that is one thing i cant get hold of

Possibly. But i thing vagcom will be the least of you problems. This will literally be a dash out Job.

That was one thing off from the options list that I wished I ordered because it makes the look of the interior SOoooooo much better! :sad1: :sad1:

I know, i would love them. So i need the dials, new vents, new surround, electrical work ? So dash out and hooking up to vagcom? And the rest ?

Rcd510 - i need a can gateway and then its a straight swap ? With no hookup ?

Dials ? Do i need vagcom for the full digi screen ?

If only i had a bottomless bank balance  :happy2:

To do the climate control retro fit you need a donor car to strip all the bits from including sections of wiring loom/dash surrounds ect. It's possible and has been done but not for the faint hearted.

Highline display can be done easily if your car is pre late 2005 but you'll still need someone with K+ CAN commander and a new highline display of the correct vintage. If your car is later then its much more complicated as it needs specialist software but I know of a man who can...

For a new generation radio/sat nav you'll need a post 'K' gateway which will need to be coded with VAG COM to stop battery drain.

How hard would it be to fit and install the bottom part of that centre console?

Mines 2006 and i live in north wales and dont know of anyone around who has got all the software. I want to do a few things but got no vagcom.

What software is for what ? And how much is it for the software ?
