Hello fellow '8 owners I've been hanging around here for a while but have only just signed up. I've got a '98 S8 in volcano black pearl which I've had around a month now. Anyway I'm hoping someone can help me out with the pinouts for the instrument cluster on my car as despite a thorough search I've only been able to find the info for facelift cars.

Thanks, that was very quick. I'm exploring the possibility of using a 2nd VAG instrument cluster (I have a few lying around) with canbus to convert the relavent signals to send to the facelift climate panel. I needed the pin assignments so I could pick up the required signals. Odd's are it won't work but as I have the clcoks it'll only cost me time.
