ColourMFA for Audi TT Mk2 8J instrument cluster upgrade DIY guide. ColorMFA Audi TTS TTRS 8J PQ35

In this end-to-end installation you’ll see how to upgrade the Audi TT Mk2 8J instrument cluster to ColourMFA. YES this is real!!! You can go from your red or white screen to the full glory of ColourMFA 🌈

ColourMFA is compatible with all following PQ35 cars (with some exceptions)
- Audi TT, TTS, TT 3.2, TTRS 8J
- Audi A3, S3, RS3 8P
- Golf Mk5 GTI, R32 (must be half screen)
- Jetta Mk5

This is awesome news for people who own newer generation cars and are looking to upgrade their instrument clusters. I still think this is the best in terms of functionality (even compared to the full digital clusters in all the current models) as you get so much more information being displayed PLUS diagnostics PLUS so much more!

FYI - the kits are VERY limited at this point in time due to them being sourced from Russia. May the peace come soon so we're able to get this amazing hardware into our Audi TT's.

- remaining fuel in liters
- boost pressure (for turbocharged engines)
