Can I / Will this fit (this Highline dash part number?) Now fitted and working.

[SeanyK]

Hey folks, looking for a highline been offered a couple but both different part numbers!

1K6920974A

OR

1K6920973A

OR

1K0920972A

All are highline dashes but will they work?

Mine is a 2005 Golf GTI

Thanks in advance! :)

Sean unless you can find some pre 2006 clocks then you will need someone with VAS to code the clocks to your car, as they need to get the security code from VW server in Germany.  So best bet is to give Shark performance a call they are the only guys that I know of other than VW directly that can do this, they should hopefully be able to recommend the part number you need for your car.

Hi mate!

I was quoted £420 for supplied and fitted highline from Shark dash.

Dealer want an hours labour to code new ones.

Would I be right in saying I could buy ANY of the above clocks if I was getting them done at a dealer? As they can code any?

i have some highline's you can have, £50

but the screen needs replacing.

Sean you need to take your clocks out and check the last number of the dials


you should have

961 , 962 , 963, or 4

whatever you have needs to be replaced with the subsequent 7

so

961 for a 971 , 962 for a 972 , 963 with a 973


if it is a 4 you are f*cked as this is the expensive one !

hope this helps !

Joe > How easy is it to replace the screen mate?

BritishLion > Hi mate, if I take the clocks out, is it going to reset anything like immobiliser etc? As I only have 1 key at the moment (waiting for highline and will code a 2nd key at the same time as saves time).
Or is it just something I can do with no after-effects?

(Or even better, something that can be read via VCDS?)

[Britishlion]

Hum !


Darren tried to read mine but couldn't something to do with pin codes !


From what i am told it makes no difference to take out the screen (no alarm problems etc)

but as always i stand to be corrected by wiser forum people


 

[joesgti]

Right................... The screen can be swapped in 5 mins, its hard locating a new screen though.

The golf has 3 immobilizers, 1 in the key, 1 in the ECU and one in the Clocks, you need to use a program called VAG COMANDER to re-program the clocks to the ECU and Keys, otherwize it will start for about 2 seconds and then cut out. 

[Richn83]

part number can be read via VCDS for example I have the following:


Address 17: Instruments        Labels: 1K0-920-xxx-17.lbl
   Part No: 1K6 920 962
   Component: KOMBIINSTRUMENT VDD 1012 
   Coding: 0007403
   Shop #: WSC 00217 210 91054

No fault code found.

you should have

961 , 962 , 963, or 4

whatever you have needs to be replaced with the subsequent 7

so

961 for a 971 , 962 for a 972 , 963 with a 973


if it is a 4 you are f*cked as this is the expensive one !

hope this helps ! 

not heard of this trick before, how did you find that out if you dont mind me asking?

Ben @ Shark Performance told me ! 

[Richn83]

Excellent, thats a good little trick to know as everything else ive read is a little murky and difficult to follow!

[SeanyK]

My instruments show;

1K6 920 960 D


So assume by that logic, I need 970 part number?

If VW dealers are coding it though, does that mean I can get ANY highline dash, or do I still need to get the 1k6 920 970?

[mortygttdi]

basically any cluster up to 06 plate golf with prefix 962 will work with another golf up to the same age if you know what i mean?
I can get the code from the cluster of a set of clocks that end either 960, 961, 962 the ones ending 963 and 964 are ones that Ben @ Shark Performance, Hazzy Dayz or Richter Sport can do. 
The clocks i have in end 972 so I know that is a cut off has Stefans(Britishlion) clocks end 963 and would not give me any info?

Just read the sticky Stu will make everything a little easier from now on I suppose thanks to Stefan and Ben @ Shark for divulging and passing on the information
