So, on a related note, is there any way to replace the LCD in the gauge cluster, particularly the dot matrix version?

Back to the original thread...

Just finished the install. It was pretty easy. Took less than an hour and the new lcd fit perfectly. Having done it once, I could do another one in a heck of a lot less.

As far as making a DYI, with the unit I bought from Circuit Solutions (eBay), the instructions were just excellent. Step by step, with clear colour pics, and perfect English. So I'm not going to bother with making another DYI.

(BTW, I have no affiliation with Circuit Solutions)

Don't forget, with this kit, you don't get the stock symbols. But I'd rather have the Audi symbols than half-missing numbers and the "rising sun".

Good Job! :dance:

It's the least expensive and seemingly least difficult solution. I should pick one up and shelve it for when that day comes.
