Upgrade to Highline (Ed30)
« on: April 17, 2011, 11:15:16 am »
I've found a car that ticks all the boxes except it doesn't have a Highline computer, will it be Midline or Lowline?

What would be my options to upgrade, I know vwcruise can do it for around £500, is there a cheaper option, does it need a full cluster?

cheers

Being an ED30 unfortunately it will be too 'new' to be able to do the swap without specialist equipment.

VW dealer,VW cruise or Hazzy Dayz will be the only routes but even they might not be able to do it.

To be honest the highline is only really worth having if you intend to have factory/fiscon bluetooth and/or sat nav IMO.

Shark performance can also fit and code the cluster for you.

TBH fitting the cluster isn't the difficult bit. It's programming it to work with the car and for this you need a specific cluster based on your current one.

A few people have done this and I'm sure if you search for it, you'll find the info.
