Audi A3 / S3 / RS3 8P Virtual Cockpit – Digital Instrument Cluster Upgrade (2003–2012, No Coding Required)
Upgrade your dashboard with one of our most popular retrofits — the Virtual Digital Instrument Cluster for Audi A3, S3 and RS3 8P models.
This Active Info Display replaces your analogue speedometer with a high-resolution digital dashboard that recreates the look and feel of modern Audi virtual cockpits, bringing a completely updated interior experience to older Audi models.
Important Information
🔧 Aftermarket Retrofit
This is not a genuine Audi part. It is a purpose-built aftermarket digital cluster designed to modernise the Audi 8P platform.
💡 No Coding Required
No dealership programming, mileage correction or specialist tools needed.
How It Works
Installation involves transferring your original OEM cluster motherboard into the new digital display.
Because your original electronics are retained:
-
Speed readings remain fully accurate
-
Fuel economy data remains correct
-
No warning light issues
-
No mileage discrepancies
-
No coding required
Your car continues to use its original system — the information is simply displayed digitally instead of analogue.
