Amp and instrument cluster questions
Hey all Had my 2015 V0 d4 for about 6 months, and to be honest Im fairly happy with it. Negatives, 16" wheels are tiny, but tyres are much cheaper, and Im on a cheaper run for the time being (covid and all that), sound is pretty lacking compared to the Bose system I had in the audi, and the fact I seem to need to top up half a litre of oil every few k is somewhat annoying.
All said though I like it. Questions 1. Can I replace the instrument cluster with the LCD active one, ie a straight swap (mine looks the same but is not LCD) 2. Is there an amplifier upgrade available for the stereo system. 3. Where the hell can I get a replacement gear knob, its a 6sp manual, and the silver part on it has all worn away and now has little prickly bits sticking up. Thanks all. |

Good thread on amplifier upgrades here: https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=288566 I went the DIY route using the same gear that the original poster had professionally installed. Straightforward enough if you're OK with a bit of DIY and soldering/electrics etc. Really worthwhile upgrade which also allows for a bit of fine tuning through the PC interface to the DSP/Amp

New gear knob
Found a website called skandix very good guide for spare parts though they get shipped from various areas of Europe.
https://www.skandix.de/en/spare-part...rcoal/1067419/ I think the above link is the part you might be looking for. They have loads of different styles of it's the wrong one. |

With regard to the TFT clocks install, you need to check out D5T5.com, where all sorts of hacking madness will excite your sensus (see what I did there !!)
