Digital Dashboard Retrofit · Cambridge
Bin the analogue dials. Drive a virtual cockpit.
Audi Virtual Cockpit, BMW Live Cockpit, Mercedes Widescreen and aftermarket TFT clusters retrofitted into older cars. We source the genuine OEM unit, swap it in cleanly and code every CAN message so it behaves exactly like it shipped that way.
What's included
Built around how the car drives.
Every job is bench-developed, hand-installed and signed off by the same person who quoted it. No outsourcing, no surprises.
OEM hardware
We source genuine factory clusters — Audi, BMW, Mercedes, VW, Porsche — never grey-import clones with broken backlights.
Full CAN coding
Mileage transferred, immobiliser sync, gauge animations, language packs and start-up logos all coded properly via VCDS / ISTA / Vediamo.
Map navigation
Where supported, we activate full-screen Google-style nav directly inside the cluster — controlled from the steering wheel.
Reversible
Original dash is bagged, labelled and returned with the car. Easy to revert if you ever sell.
Packages

Every car is different. Pricing depends on platform, hardware and scope — we quote per project so there are no surprises on collection.

Yes. We pair the new cluster with your existing keys via the gateway / CAS / EZS module so the car starts normally with no warning lights.
Yes — we always bag and label the original cluster and return it with the car. The retrofit is fully reversible.
OEM-supported retrofits take half a day to a full day. Aftermarket TFT installs with a custom CAN gateway are typically 1–2 days.
