8.5 Dashboard display
« on: 28 March 2026, 08:35 »
I like to have a dashboard display without clutter. On mine i have chosen the circular rev counter and speedo with no display in the centres. How do you get the area between the two circles to just display maybe the speed or the date and time, as mine as you scroll through with the up arrow just shows info like average consumpton, average speed etc with just looks messy?
Thanks in advance

Lots of reads, but no advice-does that mean it cant be done?

I think you can add/remove what options you can choose from in the central display. I use the large central rev counter display and you can do it with the two circular additional displays.

I googled - 'how to modify the main display on a 2025 golf' which brought up some AI advice and links to youtube tutorials. Hopefully you can get some answers there.

I just tried mine. Is this what you’re looking for?

Thanks Watts and Joe
In the centre between the two circular dials, is it possible just to have the day/date and time on display?

I flicked around with it for 2 minutes and thats as "clean" as I managed to get it.
