.... been messing with VCDS when I got home from work.

Changed lane change indicator flashes to 5.
Enabled digital speed on dash.
Replaced the kph display with temperature.
Enabled needle sweep on ignition on.

I'll see what else I can find to play with..

Having shown off my Limo tinting, which I had done yesterday, to numerous fans I decide to use my garden metal gatepost as a sliding rear door handle remover. It works perfectly as a door handle remover - I was gutted! :evil: :evil:

If only I knew how to do these things... Not all that confident with vcds as yet... Is there anywhere on the forum or online that has information of making changes like this?

Thanks, Hayden

Van Nicholas titanium, amazing! I have one myself :D Handy way of doing the bike mounting. I have my Enduro MTB mounted but it faces the other way, uses a sea-sucker 20mill Axle mounting bracket.

19's Speedlines? Colour and vinyl work well. You should try and get along to the Monthly burger meet the guys on AutoStadt.ie have in Stillorgan if you're around the Dublin area, 1st Tueaday of every month. Caddy looks class.

Is this on a stock Caddy cluster? I've seen it on a Golf 7 in VCDS, but not Caddy.

Facelift caddy clusters may or may not have this needle sweep option available in VCDS but they all can do it. Just not always available with VCDS.

Yes - stock cluster 2014 C20.

It took me a while to work out that its not "staging" that needs to be enabled (this just returns an out of range error) but "indicator celebration".
