Johnny if you have the normal diesel highline Ill swap you for my R32 highline need to check something on yours first has its possible the menu button might not work on mine with your highline, its simple to do but you need to check something.

Can you check measured value block 61 in your clocks.
Newer clocks normally have 4 values in second field and older have 3 values in first field. having only 3 values in first field would mean the menu button doesn't work on the newer button set.

So are we saying that a poverty edition Golf with the most basic clusters CAN have an upgrade to a high line display??

Will i need to change the wiper Stalk so I have buttons to scroll through the options on the display?? The wiper stalk has no buttons on it at present as there are NO options available to select.

Your slightly going over my head here now, so I will give you ONLY the knowledge I have.....

1) You can upgrade a standard dial to a highline, you just have to ensure you get the correct one to match with the car. The best way of doing this is to remove the dials and get the part/code of the bottom, post the number on here and someone will tell you which cluster/dials will fit your model. As I learnt there are several varitions.

2) In order to get it FULLY functional you will need a module unit as well (I believe)

3) You will need the car re-coded to recongnise these parts - new add-ons.

4) If you plan to add buttons to the steering wheel too, you will needs lots of other parts.

Simple if you know HOW - otherwise a reaaaaal headache.

If you have vcds johnny then go into module 17 and go into measuring blocks on the left side, then in the first box put in 61 that will give you some info, If you have 3 digits in the first box then its no good for my car but if its got 4 digits in the second box then we are good to go. From what ive been told that extra digit is what controls the menu button?

How long would it take you to swap?

[mortygttdi]

About 10 minutes, take a pic of the cluster and steering wheel, also does it have the menu button on the steering wheel?
