10 of 11 units now reserved. Just one left!
I've attached a photo of the home screen whilst driving on cruise control. Apologies for the poor quality pic; it was taken by the passenger using a phone, and there's dust on the cluster's window. However, it gives a very good idea of the general screen layout.
Along the top, you can see audio information from the stereo. In this case, we're tuned to FM, traffic updates are active and the radio station is called Pop FM.
In the centre of the screen, you can see that cruise control is set to 97km/h.
The instantaneous consumption is 3 litres per 100km. This Colour DIS installation was done in a 1.2TDI in Denmark, so the units are set appropriately for that country. UK conversions will be set to read in mph and miles per gallon by default, though this is easily changed by the user.
The 'OK' message shown in blue simply means that there's nothing to report. Should you need new brake pads, or washer fluid, or fuel, etc, such warnings are shown in this space.
The '5' indicates the selected gear. In this case, the installation was done in an A2 with an automatic gearbox, but this feature also functions in manual vehicles.
The green box around the '5' indicates that the car is currently exceeding a user-determined fuel efficiency. In this case, the driver wanted to know when the car was using 3 litres per 100km or less.
The values in the bottom left corner show instantaneous consumption and average consumption, but these areas can be used to display any accessible readings.
The values in the bottom right corner show turbo boost pressure (which was changing when the photo was taken, hence the blurred numbers) and engine inlet temperature. Again, this area can be made to display any of 14 different readings.
It's not a complete or thorough guide, but it gives you a good idea of what a Colour DIS cockpit looks like.
Cheers,
Tom
