VW 1.4 TSI engine problems – any experience?
VW Golf V Hatchback (1K1)

    I’m trying to customize my Volkswagen’s multifunction display. I mean the instrument cluster MFD, not the satnav MFD. It seems like certain menu options come up when you plug in OEM accessories, such as a sat-nav.
    As far as I can tell, the sat nav and other accessories supply information to the MFD by means of the CAN bus.
    I was wondering if it would be possible to make a sort of homemade controller module to be able to feed anything I wanted to the MFD. For example, to add my own screens or control screens that are already there but not accessible.
    I suppose the question is if I can figure out what messages are transmitted to which models on the CAN bus to control the various menus.
    Does anyone know if this is possible or tried it themselves?
