Upgrading Instrument cluster

Bigg943 · 10-03-2017, 02:05 PM

Hi all I have the basic instrument cluster with the small LCD screen. Can I upgrade to the 6WA cluster? Is there any coding issue? Any advice would be appreciated.

A Most-cable must be installed/routed and it has to be coded.

Hi thanks for the answer, what is a Most cable and is it an easy job?

MOST is a optical cable made of glass fiber.

Normally it is easy when you know what to do.
You have to find out whether your Headunit (Radio, Navigation) has a MOST connection.
Then it will be extended with a MOST-Y-cable to the Kombi like this (Only Examples!, maybe too long or too short).

He would also need the mileage and VIN cleared on the cluster if it's second hand.

Yes we do but like I said earlier. Please do ensure that that the instrument cluster you are purchasing is either new or has the data (Mileage and VIN) cleared off the EEPROM prior to coding.
