small update on the cluster swap 2018 into a 2011 still not working i think it has something to do with firmware on cluster. i think for the meantime im gonna save up the penny's and buy a virtual dash. I was really hoping that this could be done but it seems low spec caddys and there wiring are a nightmare. But i am enjoying having the cruise control and ive been advised to get rid of the pioneer touchscreen thats fitted and fit an upgraded oem style head unit with backup function as will fix my left hand buttons on steering wheel.

I bought a dab antenna, the solid plastic bar kind that sticks to the windscreen and it worked fine to start with on my RCD510 but it's gone crap and now hardly any signal strength.

Back to the drawing board.

Someone put a odd looking aerial on the front roof of my caddy probably to try boost the signal it looks horrendous and signal is crap as well and looks an eyesore
