I have to say Tom, you've ended up with probably the most stunning A2 I've had the pleasure of clapping my eyes on, and that's just the photos! Very much looking forward to seeing it in the flesh when I pop down for my mats.

Evening Tom,

Thank you very much indeed Sir. It’ll be my pleasure to and you’re most welcome to; jump into this A2 for a look around when you’re here in the next week or 2 to collect your mats. Looking forward to hosting you.

Kind regards,

Tom
 
Evening all,

So a busy morning here at 2work Towers playing with my latest gadget…

For the first time in quite a while I met up with Edward @Edwrai who has been looking after my spare TDI revision Q instrument cluster along with the RedBox/Diaz Tuning 3DColorMFD screen kit. In the background he recently removed the standard red LCD screen and swapped it for the aforementioned colour screen. A process that I’ve seen pictures of and have determined it’s not something not for the faint hearted for sure. I may give it a go one day though as I’ve now got a spare full DIS cluster from this latest installation. Just to remind you how many display changes this car has gone through, here’s a reminder:

Original half DIS:

Updated the fascia:

Then went the whole way and retrofitted full DIS along with the later fuel level sender:

Leading to this look as of today:

This latest look is of course a little more special as it has enabled me to use this custom car image with matching full Votex:

Which elegantly looks like this within the new screen:

It of course comes with all the Colour DIS functionality that’s you’d expect from these amazing projects. Please do excuse the following pictures as there is a lot of light reflection. I’ll update the pictures in tomorrow’s natural daylight.

Diagnostics:

Yep could do with a cup full of oil:

Run out of room for pictures so will add more tomorrow as need to focus my attention to something else now.

My thanks must go to Andy @Sidewinder for initially getting my attention of this alternative Colour DIS option back on this thread:

DIS Upgrade

I purchased a spare instrument cluster and modded it with 3dcolormfa: photos Works really well. The extras I like: - oil level - tempomat on/off and speed notification - built in error scan (vcds like) and error delete option - webasto on/off toggle - oil temp Adding real time oil pressure and...

With his support in the background I eventually went ahead and purchased the upgrade kit. Andy thank you very much. A massive thank you must also go to Edward @Edwrai who conducted the intricacies of PCB soldering over the festive period. Edward thank you so much, you have made my A2 even more special Sir. You know I’ll return the favour in kind soon enough Sir.

Kind regards,

Tom
 
Amazing stuff! Fir the benefit of anyone thinking of this upgrade Tom, do you need to have steering wheel controls or just a full dis stalk?

Hi Edd,

Just the DIS stalk to navigate through DIS, ColorMFA or 3DColorMFD. First is to upgrade to full DIS so you have the stalk correctly wired in then seek someone who can do the micro soldering for you.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Tom
 
hi Tom to have this type of meter on my golf it’s a total blast

Evening,

That looks to be the ColorMFA screen to me. Have the very same screen in the Project OEM A2. The screen installed today is the 3DColorMFD, very similar concept and both really good. I’ll provide a comparison between the 2 in the coming weeks once I’ve mastered the new software.

Kind regards,

Tom
 
actually the two are similar in terms of functionality having had both, I can cite two differences, the color3D displays the date of the day, but the ColorMfa displays the name of the radio as well as the GPS, but the 2 are worth
 
Hi Tom,
Just when you think that a project can’t get any cooler! You move the goal posts! Just a gorgeous A2 😍

Morning Pravin,

Hope all is well and the A2 is running just fine. Thank you very much for the kind words, it’s come a long way this one. Still a bit further to go before I can sit back though. Hopefully catch up at some point Sir.

Kind regards,

Tom

Love the custom (gorgeous) car image - does it animate to show the doors opening too?

Morning Sailesh,

How’s things Sir. I’ll add more pictures later on but can confirm that the bonnet, tailgate and all 4 doors animate open. It’s really is quite nice.

Kind regards,

Tom
