T6 Aftermarket Digital Instrument Cluster

I don't really like screen protectors, and applying film like that is always stressful for me. I guess it could be possible to add a non sticky version? I guess that might move or buckle under the heat. I did use a iPhone protector once that was added by applying liquid and squeegying it out.

4th attempt at fitting a matt screen protector without bubbles.

On another note my AUX heater language is now German. I’m wondering if it’s got changed from messing with settings. Hopefully I can change it with VCDS

The more I see these with the screen protector on it, the more I like it! May have to give it a go.

In relation to the other note... have a look at the "mobile" menu on the dash with your phone disconnected (might not be an issue if not got the stock head unit)
It also follows the original cluster language. Please let me know if you find that setting in VCDS, it's annoying me way more than it should but then again, I've not had the speed limit "bong" yet (I've done it now haven't I!)
 
I don’t have a problem with the reflectance - each to their own.

My problem with screen protectors is that they’re designed for glass. Glass doesn’t off-gas like plastic can.

I did a job in 2004 for a big American film company that involved shipping polycarbonate plates with graphics attached to NY from the UK. By the time they reached NY by ship (yes in the middle of the container stack), there were thousands of small bubbles between the PC and the graphic. I’m reliably told this is because certain plastics are still curing and emit tiny amounts of gas.

Glass doesn’t need to off-gas.

Hopefully this isn’t an issue with this type of plastic.

There goes that idea. Just imagine trying to cleanup the adhesive off the poly carbonate!

I’m not saying don’t try - I’m saying why I refrain from doing it. Most of the screen protectors come with an adhesive that’s like a post-it note - sticks til you want it gone then it comes away with the protector.

I just quite liked the look, also have now done about 600 miles in various conditions/ lights and can't say I have had any issues with reflections.

The thought of having to remove adhesive from plastic if it ever need replacing though.... That just fills me with dread.

Mine arrived in a week exactly.

The cheapy multimeter I ordered has just arrived too. Awesome for £12. That took nearly two weeks! Obvs the stuff no longer comes on a boat like it did in the olden days.

I have an Alpine Halo 11 with the Canbus interfeace.

I don't see the same telephony screen like I had on the MFD, or like you show above.

Righty, I take some of this back. Normally, the phone screen on the new dash shows 'Bluetooth Disconnected'. I don't get the same display as @Jan_B showing carrier and phone as we did on the old MFD. I think I made the first call in the van today and I got the normal call in progress details as we did with an MFD, see below.

But as to @Jan_B's original question, I can't select previous calls, access the phonebook etc, as you could do with the MFD. Not that I think I ever used it.


Still can't work out to use the wireless Android Auto that this new board is supposed to support.

Oh, and the bong has started at 20MPH....

according to the Technical Support, this following steps will remove the „Speed Bong “

应该是限速报警声音，试试这个办法。
当听到限速提示音响了后：按下键--按OK--下键--Ok--下键--OK--下键--OK--下键--OK--下键--OK。共6个回合就可以关闭原车仪表的限速报警了
It should be a speed limit alarm sound, try this method.

When you hear the speed limit prompt sound: press the key - press OK - down key - OK - down key - OK - down key - OK - down key - OK - down key - OK. It takes 6 rounds to turn off the speed limit alarm on the original car dashboard

Worked for me and @Jan_B aswell
 
A few days ago I had a slight issue with mine regarding my Ghost immobiliser. It failed to start, I assumed I'd put the code in wrong. Before I swapped the dash, I'd have to key out, code again. Key out, code again then start. I did this multiple times and the van still wouldn't start. I gave up and left it for 15minutes. Put the code in again and it still failed to start. In desperation I just tried the start again without putting my code in and the van fired up.

Last night it failed to start again but rather than putting the code in, I just tried starting it, It fired up.

I wonder if there is something going on with the imobiliser now the dash has been changed o_O

I asked the friendly technician about this problem, but I think he didn't understand me correctly.
He told me that the Bluetooth function is only for mirror link and not for phone function.
But something still seems to be happening in the background, otherwise I wouldn't be able to call the last contact.
Unfortunately I didn't get any further answers
