Digital dash LCD upgrade shootout FIS Control VS ColourMFA VS 3DColorMFD VS Liquid Gauge Audi TT Mk1

There are several options for upgrading to a digital dash instrument cluster for your Audi TT, S3, VW Golf or Bora. I’ll compare all of the best LCD upgrades available on this platform. Including ColorMFA, FIS Control, 3D ColorMFD and Race Diagnostics Liquid Gauge.
We all know that the Audi TT, S3, VW Golf an Bora screens tend to get pixellated and illegible so instead of just replacing it with a regular red FIS LCD screen why not upgrade? It’s great to have options in different formats and the choices here are
- A plug and play Audi / Volkswagen instrument cluster digital dash upgrade with FIS Control (which still uses the OEM red screen()
- Two retrofit options that give you a full colour digital display with ColourMFA and 3DColourMFD
- An in vent option that is pretty much plug and play with Liquid Gauge
In this video I’ll compare:
00:28:27 Main screens - some are more visually appealing than others
03:40:25 Getting into the ECU measuring blocks for investigating specific engine parameters - just like in VCDS
05:28:29 Menu options - some are more user friendly than others
07:48:25 How to install the upgraded screens - easy or hard? Watch this part to see which might be best for you
