Cheers - I had found that thread previously but wasn't sure that it had ever made it off the ground.

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?

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:

is this possible on the red dot matrix, ie the mk5 doc?

Mines booked in for coding the rns 510 in the morning. Also staging and hopefully to allow me to access the set up on rns 510 so I can update maps/firmware(sounds like a challenge in itself!).
Found a local VW speacialist to do it for £35+the dreaded.
Wish me luck.
Then a nice drive up to Geordi-land for the weekend!  :smiley:

Very generous of yr Doc. If I were anywhere near I'd gladly make the most of yr expertise.
