Cupra/Boc Dashboard Staging

[alex13p]

I've just had a look through a VAGCOM manual that was put in a thread below and it talks about how Staging isn't available in the Mk5 Ibiza, but it is in the Skoda.

For all who don't know. Staging, apparently, is where the needles on the dash do a full sweep and back to zero when the ignition is turned on. COMPLETELY pointless but I have to admit it does look pretty cool and would suit the sporty look and feel of the Cupra/Boc.

I don't like being told I cant do something soooo.... has anyone managed to get this to happen, if not, why won't it do it? The needles are digital so there should be no reason why it cant? Any ideas technical people?

Dial staging is cool and would look ace in the Ibiza!

This is the dial staging in my Fab

Such a small thing but I love it! Need someone to be able to do this on the cupra/boc!

Might find the option "suddenly" available in the face lift models.

Members of a Dutch Seat site have also been looking for this, not possible for our ibi's.

Such a shame we don't have it.

When I saw Loz's do it at Inters it looked great.

I tried it, doesn't work

:'-(

where there is a will, there must be a way?? custom dials?!

 

[alex13p]

arghh a quick search on google for staging or needle sweep (staging just brings up too many vids of people with stage 1 or stage 2 remaps) and it shows golfs, sciroccos, fabias, audi's, even Leons!!! but no ibeffas f-this, there must be a way, why wud they make it so u cant do it, what is it that stops it from being able?

I think it's because the Ibiza only gets a basic cluster. All the cars that can do it have Highline (aka Maxidot in skoda land and DIS for Audis) full height screens. Shame as it does look seriously cool.

Suspect they will change this and the non-standard radio size at facelift time. I hope it can be retrofitted!

I also desperately want a way for the speedo to be lit up all the time, it's too hard to read during the day end up running with the side lights on all the time.

 

[char_baby]

Agree, want mine lit up all the time too. Definately harder to read during the day with them off.

The problem with having the dials lit up permanently is that there's no light on the dash to tell you that the lights are on if that makes sense.
The mk3 Ibiza had the dials lit up permanently but when you turned the sidelights on there was a little green light on the dash to let you know.

Ah true, see what you mean Mark.
