Congrats to the owners... looks awesome! I'm hunting for it as well for a while but on ali there are two versions sold: 10,25" (Carcluster Lcd cyfrowy zestaw deski rozdzielczej dla VW Caddy Touran Transportor T6 EOS Sharan Golf 5. wirtualny panel przyrzÄdów. Kokpit - AliExpress 34) and 12.3" (Wowuseful 10.25 Lcd Digital Dashboard Cluster dla VW Variant Caddy Touran T6 EOS Sharan Golf 5. Wirtualny instrument Paneel Cockpit - AliExpress 34). Here from pictures and video they looks same however seems that both versions were present. Is that true that it's the same version or there are two different?

This is what I got.

Get the wowuseful direct from their store on ali express! Just make sure you select the T6 on purchase. They did message me before sending to confirm my vehicle
Thanks for pics and info, but question was more about: are there two display size versions or it's the same? If same, is it 10.25 or 12.3? Looks like there is some space aroud which makes me wonder if it's not too small in comparison to "analog" version?
I've made plenty off accidental phone calls when playing around in the settings too, I switch bluetooth off on my phone now when I want to change something
Can you view navigation etc on the dash?
It’s a big ask but can you send a photo or a video if it does work ?
If there's anyone on this thread that's not watching this thread:-

Then I suggest you take a look!

You can screen mirror your phone to the nav screen on the dash, if the sound plays through the dash, turn the volume down and back up on the stereo to redirect it
and you don't have a bigger tank? look at the number of liters in the tank, it shows the condition and how much is missing
Installed and reverted today 
Installation was pretty easy, the only thing that I found nasty was that prying the needles from the old cluster leaves little bit of marks. Perhaps should have used a thin cloth or something to protect the base - removing the needles requires surprising amount of force.
Take care to not lose blinker films, they are loose and just drop out easily.
Removing the needle motors is easy, just push the center pin down with a thin spike, eg SIM tool and then the motors can just be popped off. Getting them back is slightly trickier, from the other side you need much longer thin tool to push the pin back - I used a pogo pin as I had those laying around.
The virtual cluster has a small (2-pin?) unpopulated mystery connector on the board and a HDMI connector hidden under warranty void sticker. I could not get this HDMI to do anything - probably it’s disabled in firmware. It would have been an interesting input to feed something from eg a Raspberry PI. Perhaps the same can be done through the USB but I think it will need yet another worm box for signal conversion.
Why I reverted? When I fired things up, I got the virtual cluster to work fine. But… car would not start anymore and I got huge amount of DTC’s - including engine disabled by immobilizer. Ok so problems with talking to the original cluster motherboard. I then reconnected all connectors couple of times. After this I got a bunchload of beeps and no virtual cluster anymore… most likely just some contact issues. But as I need the van running tomorrow I decided to leave looking into it until I can spare a day or two without a van and properly check the loom.
