Not on 6R either. :(

However, there's a guy in the Czhech Republic who seems to work at Continental/VDO who make the GTI instrument panels. I bought my brand spanking squeaking virgin new GTI instrument panel for my TSI from him, and for an extra sum of 20€ he would have enabled the needle sweep (and for an another 60€ fitted blue 'R' needles). So it's definitely in the "hard" programming of the instruments and can't be enabled simply just with VCDS.

He can also reflash your existing GTI instrument panel to enable the needle sweep, but you'd really need to want that feature badly to send your panel abroad just for that... :roll: :wink:

It is not possible with Vag-com, Ross-Tech already provide the option to enable it.
The only way it would be possible for this is to Edit the eeprom file stored in the cluster

Again, sorry for resurrecting this thread, but it's for the benefit of anyone who is still wondering how to do this!

CAN be done with vag-com/VCDS, staging usually isn't available. In instruments--:> adaptation, enable "Indicator Celebration Mode", there you go!

Needle sweep active. Tried & tested on 2 R Lines :)

As far as I know, only H type clusters can do this.

Will my 2013 R-Line have this function? I know Wilxay has the same cluster as me and he enabled it on his.

Go with that one, will do exactly what you need for a fraction of the cost of a genuine one. :)
