Altea instrument cluster

The wheel or airbag doesn't need to come off, just adjust it to the lowest/furthest settings.

Putting back the same clocks won't affect your immo, as the immo is in the clocks.

Excellent - thanks!

ElsaWin shows using a tool U-30800 to remove the trim:

I expect the one that arrived today from eBay will work!

Hi skard where did you get your stereo from & what extras do you need to fit it? Been looking on eBay for a nice double din I would be thankful if you could help me cheers

 

[skard]

The stereo I had was a Zenec NC2010. If buying new it comes with all the kit needed such as accessory wires and a CAN interface. Bluetooth and satnav is integrated.
Quite an old model these days, but developed specifically for the mk5 based cars.

I would personally be wary of cheap clones on ebay as apart from reliability issues, the user interface is usually horrible.

Hi

I an not sure, I know of a guy in Leeds who used to do it, maybe he still has the cable

 

[BIGSKINS]

Would this do the job if i was to try it myself ebay item no 301238231257 ?

 

[skard]

If so, yep

 

[BIGSKINS]

Its 2007 with red display

 

[skard]

Should be fine, I had an 07 plate

Thanks for your help

It's hard to codify the new cluster with the Commander? It's necessary to do it when it's already mounted on the car I guess?

Do you think is one of those things you should need practice before or can I just order the cable and go ahead?


Thank you for your help.

Yes it has to be plugged into your car and it is very easy really.
Follow the guide I linked to exactly to the word. If you tinker or deviate from it then it could be hard to rectify it

 

[BIGSKINS]

Is the guide you posted for a different car or will it be exactly the same as the guide ?. Thanks

 

[skard]

Different car, steps are identical

Finally bought the cluster and the commander and will give a try, seems quite easy and that guide is so clear.

Thank you so much for your help skard!!
