So, I have finished cluster retrofit prototype.
With the cover there is the biggest problem separate pelxiglas (which is glued to abs plastic) without damage.
On the abs plastic is extended window for bigger lcd screen. I have printed outside plastic cover for bigger lcd.

3D printed outside cover inside abs plastic(without finishing & mounting):

It is possible to access to menu with maxidot cluster without multifunction steering wheel. In the menu there is possible to set some functions , language .... I will try to enable menu access and I will make video. If you interrested about maxidot cluster for Ibiza 6j you can write me PM.
 
Menu oil temp can be disabled in final version - it is possible via eeprom. Oil temp not be readed in test, but I must labor more with this cluster connected to car beacuse I make only one test and oil temp was --- with motor stopped. With started motor I doesnt check this value. I doesnt know If there is oil temp value send via can bus or not at the moment.

UPDATE:
Oil temp is sending from ECU only during car driving. I will test all functions at the weekend.

following, I don't know if possible but Polar FIS could be integrated also, any plans about it?
 
Yes with this cluster is possible to integrate Polar FIS. I am planning make my own module like Polar FIS soon. I had no time at the weekend to mount cluster but during this week I will make it.
 
So yesterday I was testing it. All functions are working, oil and coolant temp is reading fine. But I have one problem, when I check dtc there is only one problem but with abs module. Abs module throw error

Code:
Address 03: ABS Brakes       Labels: 6J0-907-37x-ESP.clb
Control Module Part Number: 6R0 907 379 AK    HW: 6R0 907 379 AF
  Component and/or Version: ESP8.2i front H05 0001
          
1 Fault Found:

01317 - Control Module in Instrument Cluster (J285) 
            004 - No Signal/Communication - Intermittent

So I will finding solution but I think that abs recoding is solution.

I will upload presentation video.

I have good news. Project is finished. Highline cluster is installed into car, fully working without canbus errors. Abs module work fine with new cluster after cluster modification before there was problem with recognision of the new cluster by abs module. My solution is now plug and play. I need only immo data and I can make plug and play cluster without need abs recoding.

I have tested new cluster in car for two weeks without problems. I am glad with this modification. All functions are working included backlight adjuster in night mode.

Amazing work, any guide?

This mod is hard to make - include sw changes, immobiliser pairing, cluster plastic case modification but I can make for sell complete cluster plug and play if I have old cluster or immo data from your cluster.

What could be a cost for plug and play cluster?

Hi, I have completed this modification myself, including the immo transfer via EEPROM. what EEPROM change did you make to the cluster to remove the oil sensor light issue on ignition only?

Thanks
