My problem with the CARPLAY icon has been solved by replacing Unit 17
Look at the pictures I had a test version of the Unit 17 !??
How could this be ?
That was the reason why a new version sw could not be uploaded

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for the new unit 17?

I have paid 200 euro for Unit 17 and 220 euro for coding this unit
Unit 17 is second hand from My19 with letter D

I've have read some stories that you can't program the VC if it has ran more then 500 km or miles. Did you manage to buy one with lower milage or was it programable?

For that prices I am very interested. Can you point me to your seller?

I have a pre-FL TTS mee too, and the G-meter works perfectly... and active TPMS can be retrofitted easily

If you would buy a unit 17 from a TTs or a TT competition maybe you would gain the central rev dial...

I own a TTS model and loving the central rev dial.
Features that I want are
- Sport display (g-meter/active TPMS) because I have a PFL I can't activate it with VCDS- Smartphone interface

Would be nice though to get an RS VC with the flashing rev counter.

I knew less than 100

The active TPMS is retrofitted and working fine. Only "problem" I have is that the "sportsdisplay" (not the sport layout which is standard on TTS) is not visable/selectable via the VC. Tried every coding with VCDS but it will not show.

Maby it is just a firmware thing, will try the dealer if they can flash it.

But if it is that cheap, I am interested in a RS cluster for the flashing rev dial :lol:

cannot understand exactly what you call the "sportdisplay"
(when I am on the sport layout, G-meter is on the right part of the VC, as for TPMS or torque/power gauges)

 

[Toshiba]

it's the power and torque dials, you get an extra option called sports display on the RS.

To set or change to that mode you can select "sport display" on the left (LHD) menu. In my own topic I've uploaded a photo where that feature is missing.

I guess when you go to the car menu, select the left option button (so you can toggle between all the car features) there should be text called "sport display". Since the default view for you is the G-Meter within the sport layout I guess you never had the need to look for it. If you switch to, lets say, the assistance view or the short/long range statistics with the sport layout enabled and then you want to re-enable the g-meter you have to select the sport display feature within the car menu.

Sorry for the blurry explanation but since I don't have the menu option I can't show you a picture of it.
@Toshiba you seems to know the feature I'm talking about, can you upload a picture of it?

 

[kevin#34]

when I am in the sport layout mode (big tacho in center), I have G-meter on the right side and I can shift from lane assistant to short/long range statistics on the left side of the VC; in this condition the G-meter is still present on the right side, I don't have to re-enable it, if this can help

[base86]

Can you change the G-Meter for lets say the date and time?
I think that is done via the "additional display" feature. That one I do have, wondering now if you have the G-Meter there in the same list as the date/time milage etc.

[kevin#34]

I will check and let you know that

 

[kevin#34]

I've checked: on the right side of VC I can have G-meter, power&torque meters (but inactive) and TPMS (blank, since I did not installed antenna yet).

Thanks Mokorx for the 0017 flashing tip. Im running 290 now, and CarPlay is working. The software contains some new small details, like displaying the Drive Select mode, which is nice.

No, I didn't get it. I can't start with this update.
The car sees this update, but with every update option is N/A
Option START UPDATE is gray

The only option that will be flashed with your 296 update is the FPK.

As someone stated above, you need to flash a few intermediate SW versions in order to get up to 296. My 0017 came from the factory with version 221 software and unfortunately you cant skip right to 296.

Any idea how to get 290? Here in Belgium, dealers doesn"t want to sell it separately. Thanks!

(bu the way, I did add Carplay thanks to a very nice and serious guy (remotely), I can recommend via private message

 

[moda]

Are people willing to share the firmware upgrade 290 and 296 so I can test it on my 2015 cluster?

I would be very interested also. 05/2016 for me.

here you are:

Awesome!! Thanks a lot!

Do you know if this is ok to update HW 035 0265 after Carplay integration?

Yes, it is safe to go from 265 to 296 providing you have dashboard PN 8S0 920790A.

Cheers

How did you get this?
Im interested in acquiring latest firmware for my regular TT Quattro.

What is this? Will work with which hardware? I have a 2015 TT with carplay activated (but without icon, my unit has not the final letter)

Thank you

Jacopo

I bought this card from a audi dealer
