#1: Add MFD Dispaly with MPG Author: Speighty, Posted: Sat Jun 08, 2013 3:52 pm ---- Hi guys, i have a multplex 51 plate 206 lx, could i install the mfd that has the mpg function, i need to buy a new com2000 unit and was thinking of getting the one with the mfd controls on the end.
I have pp2000, what settings would i be looking for to see if im able to do it.
Thanks.

Larger screen, stalk cap off, cocktail stick in the stalk to check for button.
No need to activate with PP.

#5: Re: Add MFD Dispaly with MPG Author: Speighty, Posted: Sat Jun 08, 2013 6:03 pm ---- my stalk does not have the cap, im guessing i cant do it then or can i change the com2000 to one that does, my current com2000 unit has the indicator problem.
#6: Re: Add MFD Dispaly with MPG Author: skard, Location: UK - NorthPosted: Sat Jun 08, 2013 6:04 pm ---- Some stalks have the removable cap, you may as well source one with the trip button though since it's being replaced anyway.

Yeah mate the info is there and readable. Just doesn't illuminate and is really really annoying me!

#9: Re: Add MFD Dispaly with MPG Author: Tolkienfan001, Location: SpaldingPosted: Sun Jun 09, 2013 2:18 am ---- How did you get the cap off?
#10: Re: Add MFD Dispaly with MPG Author: skard, Location: UK - NorthPosted: Sun Jun 09, 2013 4:35 am ---- Pry it off with a small flathead screwdriver, some caps are fixed so be gentle
#11: Re: Add MFD Dispaly with MPG Author: Tolkienfan001, Location: SpaldingPosted: Sun Jun 09, 2013 1:22 pm ---- Had a go don't think mine will come off

already changed
#13: Re: Add MFD Dispaly with MPG Author: Speighty, Posted: Mon Jun 10, 2013 2:38 pm ---- Would this be ok, I'm guessing the connections are the same
#14: Re: Add MFD Dispaly with MPG Author: skard, Location: UK - NorthPosted: Mon Jun 10, 2013 3:00 pm ---- a CC unit doesn't have rear wiper function (compare the 2 you linked, you'll see the difference).
£70 for a used unit is really expensive, you want a 2005ish onwards if paying that, they changed supplier to a more robust version
#15: Re: Add MFD Dispaly with MPG Author: Speighty, Posted: Mon Jun 10, 2013 3:44 pm ---- What do you recommend then, getting a brand me valeo unit.
Where is the best place, ecp.
#16: Re: Add MFD Dispaly with MPG Author: skard, Location: UK - NorthPosted: Mon Jun 10, 2013 4:09 pm ---- I'd recommend a new one if the car is being kept, use the discount codes and see what they come out at with ECP?
If having it a year or so, get one from a scrappy, you'll be looking at less than ebay prices
Would that one be ok, i can get £40 off with the promo code.
or should i go for the more expensive one and then if i ever change my car to say a 180 it will have all the options i will need.
Would i be able to use my existing stereo steering wheel controls stalk on the new unit.
#18: Re: Add MFD Dispaly with MPG Author: skard, Location: UK - NorthPosted: Mon Jun 10, 2013 5:17 pm ---- The 180 unit will have ESP so avoid it, if you bought a 180 it'd have these stalks anyway.
If it's the one in the picture then it looks like the one. If you don't have auto lights then try get one without the equivalent end button on the indicator stalk (annoying having buttons that don't work anything!)
Stereo stalk will swap over
#19: Re: Add MFD Dispaly with MPG Author: Speighty, Posted: Mon Jun 10, 2013 5:41 pm ---- Could i just swap the wiper stalk with one that has the mfd button instead of changing the whole unit.
#20: Re: Add MFD Dispaly with MPG Author: skard, Location: UK - NorthPosted: Tue Jun 11, 2013 5:42 am ---- Not really, it's one unit.
#21: Re: Add MFD Dispaly with MPG Author: Speighty, Posted: Tue Jun 11, 2013 9:10 am ---- Ok cheers, just had a look on pp2000 and my ecu wouldn't let me change the setting for the mfd to miles, I have enabled the trip computer in the bsi, I have a feeling it won't work or if it does displays the wrong value on the mfd.
#22: Re: Add MFD Dispaly with MPG Author: Tolkienfan001, Location: SpaldingPosted: Tue Jun 11, 2013 10:06 am ---- You select miles or km from the mfd
#23: Re: Add MFD Dispaly with MPG Author: Speighty, Posted: Tue Jun 11, 2013 10:57 am ---- Ok great, cheers, will update when I have done it.
