Quick observation that the weather shown on the RNS510 is right on the money

^ LOL. Isn't that a GTI? Wrong thread but I'll allow it.

Point is it's the same RNS510 and MFD in your car

Ah yes. 'tis the same system, I know. So is that a 118TSI? With red needles? Comes stock that way?

Ryan has retro-fitted a GTI wheel and aftermarket shift paddles (amongst other things), but the instrument cluster is stock 118.

Different speed increments on the speedo... other than that, quite possibly.

That seems too inefficient for ze Germans - I've never noticed

Not so! The GTI cluster does staging and has a higher canbus query rate.
