Re: First mod to my Passat b7 estate

Needle staging doesnt depends on the car trim or model. Some white speedos do have this , can be enabled in adaptations chanel. If not available , eeprom valuee read and changed. I have premium speedo , and its very hard to find for UK market with miles. jaraz Are you going to share how to do this?
