Re: Air Con Temp Background Colour, took the plunge! - Now RED!

vw wont supply you the leds to mod your own unit, Andy-GTI is right, the only way to get the same leds easily is to strip them from another unit. Anyway, i think i got it pretty spot on with the red colour, the only thing possibly is they are still a llittle bright for some people and im working on...

Maybe we have to ask VW electronics department about the specifications of the LEDS

Re: Air Con Temp Background Colour

thats excellent news in a sense, means no messing around with the screen itself, i reckon i could give that a go and replace them! how easy was it to take apart and could you provide some instructions? also, do you have a picture of the back of the screen where the led would shine through? i think ...

Re: Air Con Temp Background Colour

Re: Air Con Temp Background Colour

be careful! are you dismantling your own one? ill be interested to see the outcome Yes... my own one!!! As a result I was able to see... that this two blue screens uses the same leds as the red or yellow ones... So it could be quite easy to get those leds... since scirocco has plenty of red ones......

Re: SDCard for RCD510

My 2gb takes about as long as your 8gb to initialise and it is nowhere near full yet. Once initialised though it operates just as quick as yours. As you can see... my 2Gb SD card is NOT a standard one... It is Extreme III which is slightly faster.... Also...you have to keep everything in order insi...

Re: Air Con Temp Background Colour

When I went to test drive the scirocco, they didn't have a TDI, so they took me out in the Golf instead. The white display in the Golf would have suited the Scirocco so much better. When I mentioned this to the sales guy, he said the red display was intentional, to mark the Scirocco out as differen...

Re: Air Con Temp Background Colour

Is it possible to unscrew the unit? ... and see what kind of leds are inside? or just take a photo?

I know a local shop here in Greece that can solder different leds on any electronic device.... I used to go there to change the led colours on my old mobile phone

Re: SDCard for RCD510

This is a video I made to show you how 2Gb and 8Gb work... The 2Gb is Extreme III and 8Gb is SDHC As you can see.... the 8Gb card is a little bit slower at the beginning (reading the index) but later is as fast as 2Gb I'll try to find a 16Gb and 32gb SD Cards to test them... http://www.youtube.com/w...
