Large speed readout on MFD
- Thread starter Marshall
- Start date
iirc; It’s required by law in the UK to display both MPH / KPH at the same time, don’t think it’s the same for Europe. Might be able to change it through VAG COM
but change it back before an MOT.

It's KHP though. It's displayed as my TT use to, however If you look closely the outside temp is displayed where the UK version of the KPH is displayed.
Our cars display the outside temp above the two horizontal lines.
Must be programmed different or an option through VAG com, as no option through the MFD.
The european R does not have gloss back seats or the rear diffuser.
Not at all bud
i also had a good look for it, and could not find it.iirc the price is quite high for the R in europe.
I'm off out to the car to give it a go... watch this space
This would be kool if could get it to work, i would try but my VCDS stopped working
Cracked it!
This is such an easy re-code to do, literally took me 2 minutes once I found the right menu.
Made a step by step guide if anyone is interested in doing it theirselves:
(Apologies for the crappy phone pics)
Step 1: Connect up to VCDS/VAGCOM in the usual manner, then select Instruments under the Select Control Module menu.
Step 2: Select the Coding sub-menu
Step 3: Select Long Coding Helper
Step 4: Select Byte 0 Bit 4.7 drop-down menu then select 10 Country: Rest of World (RoW)
Step 5: Exit Long coding helper then hit "Do it"
That's all you have to do on VCDS/VAGCOM but now you will have to change your MFD Settings, Units menu to the correct UK format from US format (imperial to metric).
Step 6: Un-tick the Alt.speed dis to activate the "Alternative Speed Display"
Step 7: Final stage - Change your units for Consumption to MPG and Temp to ˚C.
Job Done, hope this helps!

It can cost anywhere between £50 second hand off ebay up to £200 odd for the genuine Ross-Tech cable & programme.
You should put a post in the VAGCOM requests section on the forum and see if anyone in your area can sort you out!
If your in the West Midlands I be more than happy to help you out!

So after this you have a MPH display upfront? pics
Also noticed your car is Facelift bet this dont work on Pre-FL
The result:
Displays current speed in mph and outside air temperature PLUS you don't lose any of the other measured unit's (MPG, Average Speed etc) just gives you an extra option.
