VCDS / VAG-COM settings to make GTI needles dance upon ignition

[Ryan_R]

I am referring to both those items as well (I didn't describe it too great).

Ryan, I interesting. I am going to get some screen dumps so you can see. Then we can compare VAG numbers. Maybe there is hope.

Ryan, what about dancing needles? Are u able to do this on your TSI?

[ctan]

Ryan, You are right. I did not click on the correct byte. Yep the options are there. Thanks for confirming it works on yours. However I can't get the dancing needle to work. My VAG Number for 17-Instruments is 5KD 920 870 F.

Maybe it's a 'sport' branded Golf thing (GTI, GTD, R). My build week is too early for me in any case.

Apparently not all "D" type clusters work, my cluster part number starts with "5K0" and ends with a "D" (instead of "5K6" like most people who got it working) and it doesn't work for me (channel not available).

I think the clear pattern is that all "5K0" clusters definitely do not support staging out of the box, but apparently this guy somehow hacked his cluster and got them to work: active needle sweep function on the cluster of 2010 vw golf 6 1.4tsi - YouTube

On his channel he appears to have done this to a few other models as well (for different VW cars), from what I understand from his english he claims to have opened the cluster and reprogrammed it somehow. (notice how his sticker is ripped)

Hope that helps.

Does anyone know if it is possible to reverse the dancing dials if you need to take it back to the dealer for warranty?

The local dealer says that warranty is void if there is something wrong with the dash
