ColourMFA How to Install in VW Golf Mk5 GTI. ColorMFA in Golf Mk5 R32 TDI and 2.0L petrol PQ35

If your Golf Mk5 instrument cluster LCD needs repair, starting to fade or has died then a replacment is in need. If a replacement's required why not upgrade? ColourMFA is that perfect upgrade that really enhances the capability of your instrument cluster and it's all controled via the OEM steering wheel buttons.

This installation video guide shows you everything you'll need to know to mod your Golf Mk5 cluster to get ColorMFA running (compatible in Golf Mk5 2.0L GTI or R32 - this will also work in Jetta of the same generation). It's important to have a half-screen or no screen clsuter to start off with as it's not ideal to be controlling and selecting the comfort menu options that are active in the full FIS clusters. ColourMFA's the ultimate Golf Mk5 upgrade for those with half screen FIS!

Here's a quick rundown of the ColourMFA features:
- current speed
- average speed
- travel time
- distance traveled
- remaining fuel in liters
- boost pressure (for turbocharged engines)
- engine temperature
- inlet temperature
- oil temperature
- on-board network voltage
- engine torque
- current consumption
- average consumption
- oil level (in mm)

Diagnostics:
- reading data by groups
- error reading
- erasing errors
- viewing error codes
- support for KW1281 and KWP2000 protocols (K-Line and CAN)
- plotting on the screen of graphs according to the data in the current group

Woohoo! Golf Mk5's clusters can now have this awesome mod! What do you think? Is it something you'd DIY or would need help installing?

I did not go through all your comments.
Questions :
do you have a supplier now for these kits?
A full fis? can still be updated?
I ask since i would like to refresh the display in my R32.
Thanks

Hey
So it doesnt require any coding because u only swap the mfd screen, right?
Also do u need Multifunctional steering wheel for this to control?

[vanir]

Is this compatible with 2007 Jetta mk5? And where can I get one that is? Google is setting me up for failure 😢
