Guys, now we have got the liquidGAUGE working on the MK5 platform, I am about to get the tooling made for the MK5 vent.
Can you guys give me your preference for either the centre or side air vent, the MK4 was done for the side vent but many have asked for the centre vent.
If you haven't seen one before here is the mk4 one and a video of it in my A3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGoONTn1Y_w

It looks like the centre vent comes out fairly easily from this picture, so the insert would be easy to fit.

Side vent i would of thought would be better :smiley:
-
vote for the side vent from me to (drivers side obviously)
-
Definitely the side vent. The middle vent would get more glare and reflection.
Definitely interested in one of these. :smiley:
The MKIV version in the TT works great. Any ideas on the specifications. Does it have full functionality like the MKIV or less as I heard that there were some issues with getting all the functions to work on the MKV?
-
How does that work then?

It plugs directly into the OBD port and reads the block logs live and converts them to a graphical or dial representation of the live logs. Basically like the info you get from VAG-COM/VCDS, but in a more user friendly package :cool:
-
Can the grille mounting be manufactured so that it still allows air around the gauge, for a more OEM look. I think I'd prefer this to the black plastic look as per the mk4 picture??
-
Tricky as there is not much space left around the pcb to allow for vents.

I understand, maybe I should try it myself as I have a spare vent somewhere.
On a different note, what restrictions are there wrt the upper limit of MAF readings affecting things like torque and power graphs? Is anything else affected?
Do we know what the max MAF reading is via VAG-COM for the MkV GTI (esp. ED30)?
I know on my RS4 it was 364.08 g/s - mine went flatline at this value after 6300 rpms.

Saw one of these in Bens (R-Techs) MK4 and its a VERY cool little toy.
What are the prices looking at for the MK5? I assume we will have all the same features as the A3 video? Looks very cool in the A3 imo.
-
The unit works the same way as vag-com and uses the signals from the existing sensors, if your mods thake the actual values beyound the limits of the sensors then it is the limit that will be reported.
There are not many cars that hit the maf limit or any of the others, if few people running very high boost levels may hit the boost limit value but if your running very high boost then you are in dangerous waters anyway.
I'm not sure what the limits are on the mk5 yet.
MCPII did do a slatted vent pod for the MK4 in the US, but don't seem to be pushing it.
-
Here is the link for the slatted vent for the mk4 ... http://www.mcpii.com/diagnostics.html
No pics though and requires the joystick to be relocated?
-
Bad news, the test on a GTI TSFI showed that it did not have the k-line so the liquid is not compatible just yet, it seems like its just the diesels and V6s that have it.
The CAN version should be out in 4 or 5 months.
:cry: :cry: :cry:

That's a shame, I was toying with the idea of getting one of these from santa.

another toy for Hurdy's build list! :lipsrsealed:

Too right :laugh:
But I'll have to make do with a boost guage first up. :wink:

I wonder if this could eventually work with some smartphone app and bluetooth module to save installing the screen as a fixed item?
I don't have a clue whether you could do this or even if it is possible but it seems like it would be a really cool way of displaying this info?
I would certainly buy it!

they should offer a plug in module which you then output the data to a screen like OEM satnav or an LCD screen

you could do that with some free software and an in-car PC!
danger to manifold style

Bluetooth OBDII already exisits - there's an iPhone app for it too!
More interested in an output to the OEM headunit myself.

Better late than never, finally the plastics for the mk5 are ready.

Is there anyway of getting this to display on the RNS 510?

Pretty sure you cant.
