To modify the graphics of the virtual cockpit on the Volkswagen Tiguan, first, turn on the dashboard: use the OBD11 (an OBD code reader available on Amazon for £25.21 with free delivery) by connecting it to the EOBDII socket located under the steering wheel.

Open the OBD11 application on your smartphone to connect to the vehicle.

Start by performing a scan. To view any errors, simply tap the three blue lines, and it will indicate the type of error.

If the errors are minor, you can clear them yourself. Now make the modifications: go to applications, select your preferred virtual cockpit, changing the graphics of both the rev counter and the speedometer.

Select "control unit", dashboard control unit (no. 17), then select "adaptation" and then "dial representation". Click on "dial no. 2" to see all possible variants; choose the one you desire. Confirm and exit.

Once confirmed, you can disconnect the OBD11.
