I recently retrofitted a virtual cockpit but as it was faulty, I ended up switching instrument clusters a few times which ultimately meant the odometer was incorrect. Rather than use one of the few services to increase the mileage, I purchased the required tool to correct the odometer myself.

 

Given it worked perfectly on both my original and replacement cluster, I'm now offering a mileage increase service for MQB based Audi, Seat, Skoda and Volkswagen (VW) instrument clusters aka virtual cluster, virtual cockpit, VC, active info display, AiD, etc. To my knowledge, most MQB clusters cannot have their mileage adjusted via the EEPROM. To get around this, the tool simulates a moving vehicle which means I can add up to ~4000 miles per 24 hours on the odometer.

 

While I appreciate this is probably quite a niche market, I'm offering my services as this can be a sticking point when purchasing used clusters.

 

The way this will work is:

- You send your instrument cluster to me

- I'll increase the odometer to the requested amount

- If you'd like, I can send a daily picture to show progress

- Once complete, it'll be returned in your packaging

 

I'm not sure how to price this so for now I'll say £50 will cover:

- insured return postage (UK mainland only)

- up to 20000 miles adding (5 days)

 

FAQ:

- This tool CANNOT be used to decrease the odometer, please don't contact me regarding this 

- If you need more than 20000 miles adding, please contact me to discuss pricing
- I do not offer component protection or immobiliser services, these require ODIS with an online connection which I don't have

- Some clusters may increase at a lower rate, if this is the case I'll contact you with a revised completion time

- If for any reason I cannot increase the mileage, I'll return the cluster and give a refund minus the postage cost

 

Regarding the last point, if I come across a cluster I cannot increase the mileage on, I'll add it's part number below and no longer accept requests for that cluster.
