Thought I'd finally make this long due video on the Polo 6R Maxidot Cluster Upgrade. The cluster really ups the premium feel of the car. I have linked my threads in the description box below the video, if you'd like to see more pictures and read more about the features available on this cluster. You may locally buy this cluster from several sellers on Instagram like Vagstar, Vagmaster, That.Red.Sells, GermanDNA etc. Please contact them for pricing and installation quotes. Let me know if you have any more questions in the comments below!
@SujoyShivde I saw the ESP light on the new instrument cluster. I have VW Polo Highline Petrol manufactered 07/2014 and no display of ESP. Can you share your knowledge regarding this, Does VW Polo had ESP in standard in India?
Polo had ESP only on AT equipped models. So your High line Petrol will not have ESP from factory. Clusters always have ESP light, it may activate if ABS has malfunction
Reason, Why I am asking for ESP activation possibility, is because I am looking for a possibility of activating the dynamic trajectory parking line in the 360 camera installed with the Android 13 Head Unit. The support guy had asked me if my Polo has ESP then he can find out a way to activate by adding an additional device which wud generate the dynamic data required for the Dynamic Trajectory Parking Lines...!!!
@rajivesingh you can retrofit ESP, but only a few are qualified and experienced to do it. There are teams in Pune who can do it for you, they have done it on plenty of vehicles.
The old cluster can sell for about 10k but that too only if it's in brand new condition. It cannot be officially reprogrammed, so selling it is not really a viable option. The Maxidot Cluster was installed by me close to three years back and we install it ourselves. So my pricing is not really a good representation of what it will cost to the end user. You can speak to retrofit firms for present prices.
The old cluster and the facelift cluster hace different socket type. The old one is big and blue and the facelift is black and small socket. How you change this?
@@SujoyShivdeI have polo 6R 2010 and I have the cluster with the blue socket exactly same as you in the video but the new cluster have a another socket type not the blue one….
@hakanyzz the cluster you purchased belongs to a 6C, if it is a black connector. The 6C Cluster will not work. You can use the housing, but the 6C Electronics are incompatible with 6R.
Are there any immo or can communication related problems after the instrument cluster swap. Coz vw cars immobilizer and can system is inside instrument cluster ( Mainly polo/vento/rapid ). And Which tool is used to do the coding part, as VCDS does not do it.
A proper cluster retrofit involves transferring IMMO Data from old cluster to the new cluster. Long coding the cluster can be done by VCDS, but it cannot be adapted online with VCDS. ODIS can be used to adapt online if it's a brand new legal cluster. Used clusters cannot be adapted by OEM tools, so you'd need something like VVDI. If you physically swap clusters without the tools you will be stuck
@@SujoyShivde yes , thats correct. Immo data transfer is done simply by copying the eeprom chip and writing the data to the new one. And that process is simply easy. Many tools like vvdi, hexprog, ktag do it. But still many people who do ecm and cluster repairing and have access to these tools, hesitate to work on VW cluster swap, maybe they are not sure or they fail to work. So i am not sure whether the only thing needed for swap is Immo data copying & meter adaptation via vcds or odis. Or there is some more to it.
Depends on which cluster you buy. If it's new, it's super straightforward via ODIS. Feel free to try it out, it's fairly quick and easy. Just adapt online, adapt keys online and you're through. If it's used, then plenty of other steps come into play
Fits diesel, but with some important limitations, which can cause issues to your car. You can buy used diesel Maxidot clusters and get them adapted to your diesel Polo
You need a brand new cluster, compatible with your immobiliser, and a few OEM special tools to code and adapt. Contact a retrofit shop for more information.
I beg to differ. OEM retrofits have become popular and available by demand pan India. I know so many friends who do these retrofit projects in both North and South India.
I keep recommending a few retrofit shops, but there are a dozen stores which show up daily. It's become hard to keep track, and I do not believe in blindly recommending everyone, since I don't have first hand experience with them. You can checkout VAGSTAR, Vagmaster, ThatRedSells, GermanDNA etc.
Depends on your dealership. It's a plug and play upgrade, and can be done officially with OEM tools. The primary concern during cluster swaps is mileage modification which is illegal almost everywhere.
Your Millenium vlog is really amazing I dint even know our school used to look so different. The amount of effort u put in that video 6 years ago is commendable🔥
Glad you liked it. Yes, it's come a long way. I've seen it change from 2001 :) to what it's like today. Looking back, we could have made a better video, but this is sort of the best we could do in Summer with just one iPad as our video device.
OMG u are finally back ur content is amazing
Trying to get back, thank you!
Amazing video ❤️, for how much did u get this cluster ?
Can this be fitted into 2011 polo trendline diesel with 1.2 TDI engine. ?
You'd need a slightly different cluster for the Diesel, but it can be done for sure.
@@SujoyShivde Thank you 😇, whom should I contact?
@@AS-pu7gj price ?

Have u installed the dimmer switch?
Yes, mine is a BCM connected Dimmer switch. It's fairly simple, and requires a tiny wiring modification if you'd like to get it done

@@SujoyShivde can you share some contacts?
well what about your ODD readings? does your old readings continue here?
Yes, when you officially program the cluster with OEM tools, the original mileage is transferred. Just the way it should be.
My Big Question-how much did it cost?-did u exchange the previous console and if so-then how much did it sell for?
Thanks.

Hi bro is it possible to swap virtus highline cluster with virtus topline color cluster

Please find retrofit shops via Instagram. Plenty of available location and folks doing it
I want to know red mid polo me coolant temperature laa skte hai kya ? Koi unlocking vagera krke ?
Umm, not sure, does the white MID Polo show coolant temp?
The old cluster and the facelift cluster hace different socket type. The old one is big and blue and the facelift is black and small socket. How you change this?
Your car might be a 6C, it is electronically a different platform. In India, and few other markets, VW only sold the 6R.

It fits in 2012 disel 1.2 polo base model?
Needs some extra work, but can be modified
try a vw amarok cluster
can we install this cluster on a manual polo 2015 highline ?
Yes of course

Will this maxidot cluster fit in a 2013 polo GT tdi diesel? Yes no maybe?

Can I install on polo. 1.2 tdi 2011 what's required for this whole process

Is it compatible with polo 1.6 highline petrol, 2011 model?
Yes
Bro what is the part number of the cluster
6R0920870
Can I get needle swipe in jetta mk5
Unfortunately, not possible to do it on Jetta MK5 with Red Needles. Needs EEPROM modification
From where we can buy this?
Plenty of Instagram sellers stock these
Any indian car having this cluster??
Jetta , passat ? 2013,2014,2015 model
Yes the Jetta had a high line cluster. Passat always did.
From where you code cluster❓
Coded by ourselves
@@SujoyShivde bro where you located❓
Does it support Vento?
Yes, supports Vento as well
why is it tough to do these oem mods in north india
