Yes its sent back unfortunately. Nothing was said to me about sending it to yourself.
Probably just as well Kev because if it came to some harm in between going from me to you back to the owner, who would be liable for the £250 replacement cable?!  :laugh:

That's right, would rather have it back first then send it on to Kev.

Here is mine...
Not as massive as I seemed to think - but definately bigger than the one pictured.

Probably bigger cause mine has Speed above the actual digit. If yours doesn't display that then it will probably have more room for the digits.  I noticed today it doesn't actually read the same as the dial.
I was doing 75 according to the dial yet the display was reading 71!!


Does yours display the direction you are travelling in? You can see I was travelling North East when I took the picture.

My digital one is near identical to the dial.  I checked them against a GPS camera detector, and at 70mph they're only about 2-3 mph low.

Yeah - I get the digital compass in the top corner when I'm moving.

I can change mine back to KMPH by choosing a tick box in the MFD settings - no Vagcom required from the way its set up now.
Can you do this?  Taking it abroad wouldn't be a problem - just tick / untick this box
