Talk to me about highline clocks/cluster

[GTi-Andy]

Hi All

I'm new to the VW scene and I've seen a lot of threads about highline clocks

Can someone explain what the differences are between the type of clocks available and which is the latest model highline that I should be looking at in installing in my 2007 GTi?

cheers

You need to know what model clocks youre running at the minute. A scan can tell you this, or take your clocks out and read the sticker on the back.

so this is the version of clocks that I currently have

Ta

any ending in 970 971 972 973 974.

970 971 and 972 can be easily coded using vag commander, 973 and 974 is a bit different.

Multi function steering wheels only work with 973 and 974.

Okey dokey, so as I have the multifunction steering wheel I will require a set of clocks ending in either 973 or 974?

Not true that bud, I have a MFSW with a 960D speedo and everything works properly.

To the OP 970, 971 or 972 are the easiest to code. I would go for that. other than that I am 99% confident the speedos are all the same. Just different years have different model numbers

[GTi-Andy]

AAAARRRGGGHHH, brain freeze - who's right??? 

just need a definite answer please guys

this is what I've currently got

2007 GTi with MFSW, current clock number 1k6920962

Have you got the older or newer style mfsw?

[usmangti]

Newer style ie I have menu buttons to access menus in speedo.

@GTi-Andy check my previous posts there is loads of info there and some pics too 

[GTi-Andy]

Mine can access the menus in the speedo using the right hand side buttons.

Another one here with mfsw: had 962 midline clocks, now 972 highline and buttons work fine. That said, mine's 2005 so I don't know if the mfsw or controller changed by 2007?

[RetroRaz]

That's strange? When I put my mfsw on my old golf it didn't work,  had to change it to a  973 clock and it worked.

Must have been another reason perhaps.
Just realised above I only referenced my old speedo which was a 960. I had the upgraded to  a 972, which is regarded as an early speedo.

Also I'm pretty sure there are no other differences in terms of speedo other than you need a specific VAG commander cable to access the SKC codes on later speedos ending 3 or 4. Whether midline or highline.
