If your instrument cluster is failing, this is the simplest fix - it only takes about 1/2 hour and requires nothing but simple tools. VW used 8 different instrument cluster circuit boards. Others try to use a "one size fits all" replacement, but making one version work with 8 different configurations just makes it confusing install. This one's simple - the version we send you is specifically matched to YOUR exact instrument cluster, so the wiring is completely straightforward. The hardest part is disassembling your cluster; after that, you just plug the "A" wire on the black box into the "A" terminal on your cluster, "B" to "B", and so on. It's practically idiot proof. The tiny box just tucks behind your cluster, with the electronics safely protected inside it so you no longer have an exposed PCB. It's a simple solution to a common problem. Plus, you get an LED illumination upgrade for your instrumentation in the process!

Important: Make sure to order the correct box for your instrument cluster. Click on the images above - each one shows the layout that may be on the back of your instrument cluster. Identify which pic matches the back of your cluster, and choose that one from the drop down menu above. If you're not sure which one you need, email us a pic of what you have. (Note, we generally keep the gas engine ones in stock, but diesel ones may be special-order and take a few weeks.)
