I know the fiscon telephone upgrade includes boost pressure etc so no need for a boost guage :D, Nelson_R32 might be able to shed some light as he has it fitted to his R32 :)
Car is now Sold!!!!! BMW 7 Series for now as nice and big but holding out for something a little special as my toy :)

The G meter might be an output from one of the ESP sensors. My Vag-com cant read it tho...

Mine neither...
Those aftermarket modules are too expensive, in my opinion...
Too bad this is not a thing we can "enable" with our vagcom :cry:

It will likely be a reading from one of the two acceleration sensors onboard the car.

VAG-COM can read the data from them, in real time, I've not done it, so not sure what the output signal gives its readings in.

I guess they've just made the add on software module process the signal from the can-bus and output it to the MFA.

Does anybody on here know how to do/get hold of this?

I'd be very intersted.
