Did also read somewhere if you cant activate staging(dial sweep) with VCDS you need to ask your VW dealer to update your instrument FIRMWARE and then you should be able to activate it but if your dealer's as dumb as mine i wouldn't count on it! :wink:

From what I was led to believe - if your car was build after week 45 (I think) then you can activate the staging feature - but you must use the latest beta version of the VagCom software from the RossTech website. 
If your car was build before BW45, then you need to have your ECU's firmware updated by the dealer.

That instrument panel was fazed in slowly from week 45 i think but i could be wrong if it has the pointers with the black edges its the later one.

Mine definately stayed as MPH when I changed from USA -> Rest Of World.
Works great with the huge MPH display and no bongs.  I did have to change the consumption figures back to MPG UK as it changed to Litres.
