    Optics arent used for speed or bandwidth, but for elimination of interference and noise.

    I should know this once NBN goes live on the Sunshine Coast in October. ADSL has been a nightmare.
    Audi & VW teach their techs that their optic cables were introduced for speed, but I can imagine they also do not deteriorate as much as copper wires.

    Yeah the two are linked - the faster you push data over copper the more important control of crosstalk and interference becomes.

    This does look very cool, how hard or if even possible is this retro fit to a previous gen? B6 /3C

    There's a reason why it's only in the B8 forum

    Quick question, is this mod suitable for DIY or is it too complex for the average Joe?

    kamold: So how does the upgrade deal with the immobilizer insert in the old cluster and how does it manage the CP constellation mechanics that's native to MQB platform vehicles (which I assume is present in the B8 )?

    Don
    Please don't PM to ask questions about coding, or vehicle repairs. The better place to deal with these matters is on-line, in the forum proper. That way you get the benefit of the expertise of the wider forum! Thank you.
