A little underwhelmed by active display

[fredgroves]

I'd say it was a bit limited and whats more only limited by the lack of imagination of the creators because its a piece of bloody software, not hardware.

As such I'd love to say they will update it later... well, they will update it for sure, but none of us with cars already will see the update. VW seemingly have a policy of bug fixes only for existing customers, new features for new customers only.

Hi, m curious as to how you got the "needle" to appear in the centre of the right-hand dial where it's showing the number of miles left in the tank. My MK7.5 GTD only shows a curved line which gets shorter as the number of miles decreases.

I wonder if there has already been a software change...

I say that because vwjap is also showing green stuff in the other photo and mine is blue only...

Also, I wonder if a GTI/R display is different again...

I also wonder whether some tweeks are possible to the settings already... should be if there are variations!

It must have been updated... I've just had a look at the manual and that lists a view called "classic" which isn't actually one available on my GTD... its "speed and gears" on mine.

I got the manual out because I was hoping to find what hell is displayed in the middle of the right clock in "efficiency" mode... and of course, it doesn't actually tell me.

nope I've been playing with obdeleven and the settings of the AID, I can select any colour I've programmed in and there are 4 different display types (stock,GTI,R), plus the orange/gold display I believe is the arteon (could be wrong as I've not seen inside one yet)

GTI is red too

you have the R/gtd display

Mine with the R/gtd display (doesn't have needle)

[fredgroves]

Nice

I guess I was almost right in that there are different displays GTD/GTI/R...

Must get myself an OBD11...

[Vwjap]

Yep ones 200 mph and the other is 160

Does the rev counter change to have a different red line as well? Obviously not good for a GTD to have a petrol red line display!

[Vwjap]

Looking at the screens the red lines start at 4.5k but the r/GTI one has only little dots from 4.5k until 5.5k when the squiggly line comes in, as you can see in the pics previously posted, but the GTI clocks the red line starts at 6.5k
