Hi All,
Been meaning to post about this for a while but thought it would be good to test this FIS control unit for a bit too. That's turned out to be a few months but I've not had any issues with it in my S1 and have to say it's absolutely fantastic. It lets you display any 3 parameters the car's capable of outputting from the can gateway in fully customisable gauge form:
Here's a picture (when the gauges were more crudely initially set up) at night so you can see the background which is pretty cool:
You can also display 8 parameters in table form on multiple pages which you can scroll through using the steering wheel star button:
Initially this would only work on the optional MMI 3G+ units with the higher resolution screen but I worked with Stefan who initially developed this product and was mega helpful to get it to work with the standard RMC unit. Other than that I'm in no way affiliated with this, I just really wanted a decent way to have some gauges in the car (particularly oil temp so I know when the engine's warmed up) so I purchased it from these guys: https://turbozentrum.co.uk/FIS-Control-MMI-Audi-A1-8X-Read-Description
They were also really good to deal with and the kit arrived super quick.
All I would say is that it can be a bit involved in setting it all up as you have to configure all the outputs and even the graphics (albeit using ready made templates) yourself. I found it pretty satisfying to do but then I am a right nerd for this sort of thing. This page will give you an idea of what's involved: https://fis-control.de/fis_control_mmi_en.html
You can set it up so it comes on by default at ignition start and to switch between this and your normal RMC/MMI you just press and hold the steering wheel menu button. My car has the reverse parking display enabled (through VCDS) and the FIS controller even knows and allows this to be shown automatically.
In all I'd highly recommend this if you want some modern gauges shown in your A1/S1
