Has anyone tried and successfully retrofitted the 2017 new digital virtual instrument on their A3/S3? Does it involve any VCDS coding or something behind? Any help is greatly appreciated!

I doubt they will fit, the cutout of the instrument cluster area for the VCP is different than the pre-facelift A3.
let alone the mess you would have on your hands trying to get it to work with VCDs.

You would also need to change the steering wheel to get the "View" button... reckon this would be a massive job overall.

MMI2 would need component protection removing and maps liciencing via Audi after completing the needed VCDS coding. Not a big job and has been done.
VCP is a big job. Needs component protection removing, coding and keys recoding.

Some local shops charging 3grands to get the complete retrofit done but the parts themselves is a fraction of what they charge. I dunno how they change the Gateway with erWin but it's been done. I guess the premium price is for the tech part/software of the retrofitting.
Seriously? The car has only been out for a very short while so how could, or even would, bother and as we've seen with upgrades of that type before it is hugely expensive and probably impossible
