T6 Aftermarket Digital Instrument Cluster

[T6Josh]

Just received a new firmware for my series 1 dash. They've fixed the TPMS PSI issue, I can also select different tyre sizes. I also had a problem with not being able to select different blind spot monitoring brightness. This is fixed too. There is a new 'long needle' dash and you can also select different themes. Just waiting to see if the range issue is fixed

I don’t know if you could help with my recent post sorry mate please? @Deaky

Hi guys, new to the forum but from what I can see, very informative and helpful. I have just installed a virtual cluster from aliexpress (seller HIRIOT) but presume they’re all the same!

Took a punt as a voucher made it £252. BARGAIN.

Few little niggly glitches which I want to sort if anyone can guide me through this, I have OBD11 membership so if I require coding, I can give that a go.

Essentially my issue is regarding fuel levels and range, after reading through this forum, setting the tank settings to 80L has given me what I think is correct levels, but the range is showing unrealistic figures. When I turn on the vehicle, I think it’s displaying the correct range I should have, this case 192miles - then a few seconds go by and it shoots up to 304miles. Anyone have any advice for this please? Video link attached - I think everything else is ok with it luckily.

Thanks in advance. All the best.

Do you definitely have the 80L tank?

I had a load of similar faffing in the belief I had an 80L tank, and it turned out it was a 70L after all. I reset to the correct capacity and everything fell into place.

I haven’t pal, I’ve just set my tank to 70L and living with it. I was going to replace it with a UK seller who sell at £600 and that didn’t work and was abit worse.

Mileage seems to reset after turning engine off and on so I do have some indication of my mileage but not sure 100%.

My range was out,you need to use vcds ,go to instruments and then basic setting I think and then scroll down to something like distance miles and change it to kilometres and click do it

 

[petermoto]

Tried that mate as seen a youtube video on it from everest but didnt work

The range isn't a problem, the problem is it fluctuating between two different figures. I didn't have this issue on older firmware when I bought it. Since I updated, it has this glitch. I kind of like the new T7 dials effect so I'll probably just live with it..

I did this on OBD11 but didn’t work. My range doesn’t drop when driving either annoyingly

So close to pulling the trigger on one of these!
Have all your issues been resolved or are there still fixes that need to be addressed?

Range display/calculation is fine on my 6.1, agrees completely with the data on the VW app.

I have incorrect fuel range display issues with mine, supplier is still trying to go through things but not sure if its something I've done with vcds on original clocks ( big kph display ) apart from that its fine been a nice upgrade.
