High Line display.
« on: April 27, 2011, 05:19:04 pm »
Not 100% if it's actually called that, but I'm referring to the trip computer in the centre of the instrument cluster.  On a Skoda the full screen type is called a maxidot display which gives you superior functions over the standard 'half' display. 
I just wanted to know if retro fitting a new dash pod with the full screen display was a viable option and what sort of cost for this item?

Don't think there's a "lowline" anymore. Just highline and midline.

New unit means the entire thing with clocks and display - £500 from dealers. Then you have to pay to get it installed (easy) and configured (difficult).

There's a guide to getting the right version since it depends on the serial number of your current one.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Thanks mate, I'll have a browse, by the way, is that your motor in the signature?  It looks like the beast featured on Top Gear many moons ago.
