Like the idea of a few tweaks to the default factory stuff.  Does anyone know if the digital dash view can be modified in anyway?  I've seen some YouTube videos but they seem to be American version golf so wasn't sure if possible or not?
I really don't like the zoomed in version (without nav) of the digital dash, as the dials are ridiculously massive and the centre bit seems wasted, so I always use the zoomed out with nav displayed.

That’s a good shout Dean, cheers. I was going to buy the Carista OBD as I didn’t know the app would work with any Bluetooth reader. All I want to do really is turn off stop/start and have temp reading on auto fan setting in the AC  :grin:

Do you have a link to the one you bought please?

looking at OBD website I can get device, upgrade to Pro & 200 credits cheaper if I buy them separate rather than the Pro package. Or am I missing something??
TIA
No you're not missing anything:

Pro Device (with 200 credits): €99.99 + shipping €4.84 = €104.83
Normal Device: €39.99 + Pro License Activation €24.99 + 500 Credits code €32.99 + shipping €4.84 = €102.81
