Where is the Digital Clock of the AID?! (The Active Info Display)

Post by NafHer »

Hi

Since I have got my 2019 Polo GTI the annoying problem of the missing instrument clock for those who have an AID is totally freaking me out
(I guess it is "super difficult" for the VW's engineers to enable such a simple elementary clock on the instrument :evil: ).

According to the internet/forums people who get Tiguan, T-Roc, Jetta, Polo (with the AID) have the same problem, seems the issue is regarding the specific version of the AID.

Is there anyone genius who may know an option for coding by OBD11 or VCDS to activate the digital clock?

PS
A new Youtube video shows up recently with a guy from Germany that got 2021 Polo GTI and his AID shows CLOCK! (this is the first time I have seen the clock over the specific Polo's AID)

Well spotted, I’ve been looking for a fix for this to. I’m guessing vw have done a software update to newer cars after customers complained, just a matter of time before you know exactly what’s been charged and if it’s possible to tweak older cars.

I hope the "long-coding" (OBD11/VCDS) of the instrument cluster/module from the 2021's Polo will reveal some info on how it coded.
Maybe the implementation of the long-coding on the 2020/2019/2018 models will activate the digital clock too.
