Thanks guys for the post. My old cluster with small FIS is playing up. Decided to replace with wide FIS and ordered.
Looks, is really simple job.
I don't have problem with millage correction, can adjust myself. It takes 10sec

No, you can't resolder a large screen in place of the small screen.

There is a thread on Audiworld where one user discovered that newer small screen DIS are actually a masked large screen, they then flashed with the correct firmware to make it work!

So, it depends what year and cluster you have. Can you post a VCDS scan of your current cluster. The simplistic route is a direct swap.

Yes, CP will kick in. It can be removed from a main dealer or Indy with GeKo access for a fee.

I think this is what I have - it was from a 2008 facelift into my 2006.

The backlighting is slightly nicer on the later ones and has a digital speedo option (which you can also set to KM/h).

Thanks snapdragon, so you fitted a widescreen cluster off a 3G A8 without any issues then?

I did have a chat with marcin about this before and he said I need a 2G cluster hence why I was confused...
