New(2nd hand) R Owner MFD annoyance!

Post by Babajang »

Hey, Previous roc owner here, had the 2.0 tsi 58 plate.. sold it 3 years ago but now bought a 65 plate R! Only had it a couple of days but seems lovely. not had chance to get on it proper as its been raining :(!

Just wondering if anyone knows if its possible to get the MFD to display the speed in MPH instead of KMPH!??

You need VCDS as said. Then download Scirocco coding matrix from here http://www.sciroccocentral.co.uk/forum/ ... 36&t=14999" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The top line enable big speedo on MFD not only makes it full size but also converts it to mph. Works a treat.

Would this work with OBD11?

If it helps I have just added the big speedo to the centre display using Carista.

If you change the country to Australia, there's an option that you untick to "display alt units" or something like that then this enables you to add it to the list of things you can see when you scroll through the MFD - MPG etc. You need to make sure that the DRLs are still set to be on but when I checked Carista they were.

I did it to my last car as before that I had 2 Honda's that both had the digital display as standard.
