Volkswagen Digital Instrument Cluster Compatibility Guide Upgrade Guide

This reference page documents the Volkswagen digital instrument cluster compatibility across major VW platforms. It is designed as a technical map for VW virtual cockpit retrofit projects and VW digital dashboard upgrade planning.

The table below covers both PQ platform digital instrument clusters and MQB platform digital clusters, including popular setups such as the Golf 6 digital instrument cluster, Passat digital cockpit, Tiguan digital cluster retrofit, Jetta digital instrument panel, and the Polo 10.25" digital dashboard. These VW digital cluster retrofit mappings are intended for installers, distributors, and advanced end users.
