Can you turn side assist on and off with it?

How many guys do we need to get wanting one of these fitted would it take for @antony.charnley to consider a trip north of the border ?

Mine too Think i will fit a matt screen protector looking at the reflections in pictures.

Nice I'm guessing you just get a bigger one and cut it to shape

That's the plan. I've not had a good look at the display yet but hopefully it will be straight forward enough.

Im reasonably sure speed warning has always been an option in the virtual - It would be software only within the Linux virtual dash OS for sure, since you can calibrate your speed it's the only way It could be doing it I think, OEM board reading OEM speeds only.

So your speed warning went by itself? or wasn't showing as latched on in VCDS but still bonged?

It went off by itself. I can’t control it with VCDS.

I would overnight in the camper and hope to do 3-4 in a day. Preference to push for 4 if possible, one could be the morning after if it was first thing, and it would be in the week preferably. All Doable though!

Hi, prices are on my site link if you want to send that around to others.

Just a thought about a matte film: the surface of the display is a polymer, which might off-gas over time and leave bubbles.

Mac screen protectors are for glass, which doesn’t off-gas. I had the same concerns but decided to see what it was like. I’m not aware of any reflections when driving. Weird that the photos show it. I’d suggest try it without and it’s easy enough to add one if you want to later.

Mine doesn’t have SA but @antony.charnley ‘s might.

Lane assist has an option i think yes. I've seen the logo and option whilst playing with ACC. I don't have the feature myself, but I see the option as part of the assist menu which enables when it detects ACC.

Right it's the weekend so I think i need to give my son a thrashing at Chess then grab a beer and jump on the sim for my other love of ACC (Assetto Corsa Competizione).

Awesome setup

Awesome setup

Bring your driving gloves, you can get a few laps around Spa in my McLaren 720s GT3 EVO. The whole rig shakes with full vehicle telematics though the frame. On full whack it makes your vision blurry and your arms ache. If you can beat my lap time with no assists before I can fit your digidash you can have free fitting! Lol..

Now there's a challenge

...and would make a great marketing video.

@antony.charnley do you do these for other VAG vehicles?

@antony.charnley do you do these for other VAG vehicles?

Hi yes, it's quite a list. I will try and get the all on the site. PM me what you've got and I will check, are you just after a go on my sim?

 

[antony.charnley]

There's VW, Audi, BMW, TOYOTA, Porche, Mercedes, JEEP. All with layouts to mimic later vehicle releases.

SO tomorrow. I plan to put together some helpful videos for the Virtual Dash / Digital Dash / Digidash- this will include (time-stamped):

- Revert from Digital back to analogue (full reverse), i.e. sale or regret (latterly doubtful).
- Full Unboxing of the unit as received, including fitting kit
- Full Install tips and setup, including dash cut & calibration, and usage
- Things to be aware of: Troubleshooting help, i.e. installed speed alert return, dashboard signalling disappearance and known fixes (to date) should you ever experience any of them.

I will try to do it with minimal editing, so let's see how it goes. I must remember not to ramble on, as I tend to do once I get onto my favourite subjects. I am hoping this guide will serve as a decent install reference for the kit to enable you to decide whether to purchase or enquire about supply and fitting: www.everest-vw.co.uk

Either way, if you find it useful, please share with others, and if you feel the need, please like and subscribe, as I will be adding more to the channel, particularly concerning reviewing stuff I have adapted and upgraded on my Cali Ocean over the years, I genuinely thought the list was complete, the list is never complete! We know this now!

(I will post what I have done around the van in another thread just in case others want to quiz me on my life choices)

Would love to see these video, I'm so tempted by the digital Dash.
