VW T5.1 MFD Retrofit Upgrade with Cruise Control
VW T5.1 cruise control and MFD retrofit upgrade with full rear-view camera coding
This Volkswagen T5.1 just got a solid upgrade with cruise control and a multifunction display (MFD) retrofit—plus full coding on the RCD head unit to ensure the rear-view camera (RVC) works exactly as it should. It’s the kind of VW T5.1 MFD retrofit upgrade that brings both function and refinement to your daily drive.
Ever wished your Transporter had cruise control for those long drives—or a bit more insight into your trip data? This retrofit ticks all the boxes. We installed the correct BCM module and factory-style stalk, ran wiring to OEM specs, and coded everything using VCDS and ODIS. The result is a seamless cruise control system that feels like it’s always been there. That’s just part one of this VW T5.1 MFD retrofit upgrade.
✔️ What We Fitted & Coded
- Cruise control stalk retrofit with BCM module upgrade
- MFD (multifunction display) enabled cluster for live trip stats
- Speed warning alert at preset speed thresholds
- RCD head unit coded for proper rear-view camera (RVC) operation
- Fuel range indicator added—know how far you can go before empty
Why This Retrofit Is a Game Changer
Once cruise control is properly integrated, it transforms your van’s driving experience—especially on long hauls and motorway journeys. No foot fatigue. No speed creep. Just smooth, controlled cruising. The MFD upgrade adds even more value, displaying useful metrics like average speed, fuel consumption, and travel distance right in the cluster. Most importantly, it now shows how far you can drive before you need to refuel. Simple info. Big difference.
Rear-View Camera Coding Done Right
One of the most common issues we see is aftermarket rear-view cameras not displaying correctly on factory RCD units. Our coding addressed this on a module level—ensuring the head unit recognises and triggers the RVC input on reverse gear. No lag, no blank screens, just clear visibility when you need it most.
Waiting While We Work? Here’s What to Expect
This particular VW T5.1 MFD retrofit upgrade took around 3 hours to complete. During that time, our customer relaxed in our waiting area—which includes free Wi-Fi, hot drinks, comfy seats, and a smart TV. Some customers choose to stretch their legs around Higham on the Hill or grab a coffee nearby. Either way, we make the process as smooth as the drive home will be.
Expertise You Can See—and Feel on the Road
These kinds of retrofits are about much more than plug-and-play. We use ODIS, VCP, and VCDS to code modules accurately, including SFD unlocks when necessary. Our background in vag retrofits means we know the nuances of VW architecture, from component protection to firmware updates, and we always aim for OEM-level execution. If your dealership says it can’t be done, there’s a good chance we’ve already done it.
