Purpose: to display the Climatronic’s hidden menu.
Displaying instantaneous digital speed? it’s possible! No need to use your VCDS VAG-COM cable for this tutorial.
Proceed :
It’s really quite simple. Just press the “ECON” button on your air conditioner and the “air extraction up” button, symbolized by a person with an arrow pointing upwards, at the same time.
Then simply move the driver-side climate control knob to access the various temperatures and functions.
What’s it for?
The main things to check are engine temperature, cabin temperature, exterior temperature and digital speed.
For digital speed:
Then set to -19.0 in the left-hand display by turning the left-hand knob, and the right-hand display gives you the “real” speed in km/h.
This is because the “real” speedometer is different from the analogue speedometer (needle) which has passed 60km/h.
Above 99km/h, the right-hand display alternates between the 100km/h in the small right-hand corner and the remaining two digits in the large right-hand corner.
Turning the central knob changes the small exponent number on the left display, which changes the display on the right to a small 2 – the speed is in mph.

What’s in it for me?
None, unless you like numbers, and the fact that you can see your speed in real time other than with a needle is very nice.
How do I get out of this menu?
By switching off the engine or pressing the “AUTO” and “ECON” buttons simultaneously.
