Colour DIS can be fitted to A2s with DIS and A2s without DIS. However, installing Colour DIS in an A2 without DIS is more complex and more expensive because you need to install extra wiring looms and the wiper stalk with the DIS controls on the end.It's probably buried somewhere in this thread, but how do you change the view, if it was a none DIS car fitment?
Umm..... now you've made we want each individual dial on the instrument cluster to be replaced with full color digital equivalents.... especially the engine temperature... yeah,- small round digital fuel and engine temp gauges.... ?Hello DIS lovers!
Many, many thanks for the hugely positive feedback you've all provided about this. It's clear that this upgrade is something the members of this club would very much like to have.
As you can see from the photos above, the converted cluster is running on my workbench rather than in an A2. As such, there is still a lot of development and testing to be done before it'll be available. It seems I've now put myself under pressure to get the work complete!
Just to be clear, this is not an Audi product but has instead been developed by a third party. As such, there are still questions that need to be answered.
Many thanks for your patience. To all those who have sent me a PM, rest assured I will reply to you personally.
I'll let you all know how things go.
Cheers,
Tom
I had to spend some money on my A2 lately but now I started to collect for the colour MFA. PM you soon. Thanks in advance.I'm composing a reply right now.
The latest software for Colour DIS features dials for coolant temperature, oil temperature, engine torque, throttle body position, etc. They're all individually displayed on the screen, of course, but are designed to look like the original A2's analogue gauges.Umm..... now you've made we want each individual dial on the instrument cluster to be replaced with full color digital equivalents.... especially the engine temperature... yeah,- small round digital fuel and engine temp gauges.... ?
No worries at all. Please don't make any purchases without running them past me, as you may waste your money. If Colour DIS is being fitted to an A2 that already has DIS, I supply everything. If Colour DIS is being fitted to an A2 without DIS, there are a few bits and pieces that you can buy in advance should you wish, but I supply the complex bits....now I started to collect for the colour MFA. PM you soon. Thanks in advance.
Does the colour DIS only show the speed in kmph?The latest software for Colour DIS features dials for coolant temperature, oil temperature, engine torque, throttle body position, etc. They're all individually displayed on the screen, of course, but are designed to look like the original A2's analogue gauges.

No. All units are selectable in the setup menu. You can show speed in mph or km/h, fuel economy as mpg or l/100km, etc, etc.Does the colour DIS only show the speed in kmph?
Ah, good... I'll be up for one of those then, when I've saved up enough.(my DIS is fading quite a lot).. Lately it's been boring stuff...-( replacing thermostats & starter motors etc)... I'd much prefer "Full colour Stats" appraising me of the car's systems, health & wellbeing etc...? Anyhow- "Ser deg Senere Tom"....?No. All units are selectable in the setup menu. You can show speed in mph or km/h, fuel economy as mpg or l/100km, etc, etc.

Sorry,- I used Google translate.. is it incorrect?... "Jeg snakker ikke Norwegian"..??Ser deg senere?
Unfortunately, they do have a tendency to fade, especially in the heat, and upgrading to Colour DIS is a good option when the time comes. I'm ready when you are.my DIS is fading quite a lot
Sorry,- I used Google translate.. is it incorrect?... "Jeg snakker ikke Norwegian"..??
Oh,- because I thought timmus was going to, or had been, to Norway... I haven't been, but my late father spent quite some time there in the early 1960's...?️Its correct, but why do you write Norwegian?
Ah, it all makes sense now.Oh,- because I thought timmus was going to, or had been, to Norway... I haven't been, but my late father spent quite some time there in the early 1960's...?
