No, not really you click from temp to KPH in the DIS  :wink:

I have temp and MPH on mine...


Yes, me too...

He said it's a pain to go back from temp to kmph not you cant get mph and temp  :wink:

If you mean me, I said it would be a pain to go back from mph to kph when driving abroad. From what I can see, you get the external temp showing whether you have mph or kph displayed.

Out of interest (as I don't get my Mk6 for another 3 weeks) in which section of the DIS is the trip computer displayed. Is it where the mpk/kph is, or the external temp?
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

When you have the standard UK car you only get the temp when you have the fuel computer on which is a pain in the a55 in winter for expample, otherwise the area where you get the temp shows your speed in KMH.

When you have selected the "rest of the world" settings for the clocks you can select to have KMH or TEMP in the small section of the display  :wink:

That's a useful feature me thinks - must put it on the "to code" list

Its just a radial button you select in the MFD. No need to use Vagcom again. 2 second job. And like Doc says, you now have the temp displayed on all screens of the MFD rather than a wasted KPH shown in all screens.
The way it should be.

Ok, so I am confused!

To get the screen to display like the previous poster with temp at the bottom and large MPH in the centre, do you require a VAG COM or can it be done through the MFD's menus?

First you need to program it with VAG COM then it can it be done through the MFD's menus  :wink:

Nice one.

Does the board have a 'shared' VAG COM or anything like that? Would anybody be up for sharing one?
