With VCDS, is the GLI cluster a direct swap into the 12 TDI? Can anyone confirm this?
No. There are wiring differences between the GLI and the TDI. We have the polo wiring (lower end, more like what they did in the mk4 generation) while the GLI uses a more modern wiring layout/setup. It'd take quite a bit of work to get it to work.

Ok, thanks for the update! I just discovered the "torque" app for my phone which will get me the info I desire (albeit in a "not always on" fashion). May pickup a ecorouteHD garmin unit someday and mount just to get the guages and add gps.

I agree. Having a gli cluster would be tits. But just having a better display would be so awesome. I want to get something like a banks IQ for my car.

Full Sized Alternative?

I had the 'opportunity' to get a Wolfsburg Edition Passat as a rental a few days ago and it had a similar looking MFD as our Jettas, only it took up the entire space rather than being half-sized.

Although not perfect, I wonder if this might be a more realistic swap out than the full on MFD you see in the GLI or TDI Passats. Seems the electronics would be similar, though I don't know for sure.

Apperantly the is a guy in brampton that has installed full tdi cluster. Passat tdi will not allow your immo to work, but told me golf plus will work. He does have couple of clusters in stock and you can see which one works for you. Pm me if you are intested.
