Re: speed display
Hadn't heard of a speed display for the computer screen in the instrument cluster. Have used VCDS to enable a speed display on my Symphony II+ radio; don't know if that can be done with the RNS-E Nav screen or not.

Re: speed display
I've searched for something like this, please tell or give me a link.
If you have the trip computer option (buttons on the wiper stalk) it can display real time MPGs and averages and stuff, I know the same gen A3 has this option to display speed.

Re: speed display
This works on my MY2008 A4 Avant with a Symphony II+ radio.
On the radio module (#56), Modify Adapation Channel #2 to a value of 1. Then from the menu option on the radio, select speed and then change the setting to ON. Replaces the radio frequency display with the current speed.

Re: speed display
did you upgrade to Symphony 2, or was it stock on your car. Silly question, how do I know what symphony I have.
The screen in my car (between the clusters) shows me the average speed, consumption of gas (average and actual), distance travelled, driving time etc... but not the speed.
I am not sure, but I think the 2008 TT that I tested had a speed display, and the screen looked exactly like mine. i think they have different softwares.

Re: speed display
Symphony II+ was standard on my 2008 A4. MY2007 was the first year with the Symphony II+ radio. If you have a cassette player, then you have a Symphony II. The II+ also supports MP3 CD's.
BTW - The speed display I talk about shows up on the radio screen, not on the DIS cluster display.

Re: speed display
So I have the Symphony II+ since I have no cassette player and I can play MP3.
newbie question: how can I get to the radio module? what should I get?
thanks!

You can find someone in your geography with the VCDS cable and software from the link above or visit http://www.ross-tech.com and purchase the cable and software license from them or one of their dealers. That software/cable allows you to make changes to the configuration parameters of the various modules on your car.
