passat clocks setting using vag tacho like mk4 golf ?

i have seen a few people on mk4 golf forums saying you can get the needles to light up when the lights aren't on using vag tacho and was wondering if this works on the passat as well ? and if so how do you do it and is there anything else you can do with it thats usefull ?
