Adventures with VDASH
I had been wanting to upgrade my DIM from analogue to a digital dash from the moment I knew such a thing was available. So I acquired an XC60 2015 digital DIM from eBay for £180. It had a few scratches on the poly facia, but I buffed them out with headlamp restoration kit which made it look new again. Downloaded VDASH and opened an account. The software initially finds the CEM pin code (needing done just one) which took 23 hours btw and then the car is open to all sorts of upgrades. I had to have a 10 amp AGM charger keeping the cars power on in ignition 2 mode. I also had to keep an eye on the voltage readout on VDASH in case I cooked the battery by giving it too much power. The dash is on and working now and my next purchase will be to have the lethal start/stop function disabled on start-up. S/s is a pain and if you forget to disable it, it dies as you do a rolling stop at a junction, leaving you over the junction with no power. There are several options, two of which I remember are totally disable s/s or disable on start-up, which is the one I am going for as s/s is still useful in some situations.

If you are thinking about doing this yourself, don't use aV40 DIM, they physically won't fit. Use an XC/V/S/60/70 DIM which has come from the same transmission type. It doesn't matter whether it comes from a petrol or diesel. Some cheap ones on eBay just now like this.

That looks so cool, I imagine my 2008 is too old to do that to. The first XC70 I looked at had that instrument cluster, but it was too expensive for me.

I switched off the start/stop function using VDASH so that when I start the car S/S is OFF, but I have the option to switch it on. Works well!

Was that a pack. As in, could you have added other things?
