here's more info.

My car doesn't have a multi function display, can I fit a set of clock with the display?

"Yes you can but you will need a new wiper stalk (4B0 953 503 H) with the computer controls on it and then it will need wiring into the green multi plug connector on the rear of the rear of the clocks. Also if you currently don't have the outside temperature probe that is located in the bumper you will need to install one and wire it back to the green connector (pin 26) for the cluster to display the outside temperature."

the clocks will need coding to your ECU/keys as the immobiliser needs syncing. This is done through VAG COM. You will also need to extract the SKC from possibly both clusters and the mileage will need adjusting. This is done with VAG TACHO. You'll also need to fit some new wires from the wiper stalk to the cluster multi plug and also a wire from the multi plug to the bumper for the outside temp sensor.

Clocks are easy to pull out and change over, wiring is a bit fiddly and wiper stalk is a PITA as you've got to take the steering wheel and other bits off to get to it. Coding the clocks/keys is a bit tricky first time you do it but easy enough once you know your way round it all

probably only beer tokens for someone who has the stuff on their computer. I'm assuming yours is immo2 as you don't have a display, what year is your car?
