Default Center LED Screen?

Searched through a couple pages and didn't see a thread for this issue although I know it is very common.

My center LED Screen in my a6 has become pixelated and non-decipherable. I know the only way to have this fixed is to replace the screen in the cluster. Does anyone know where to find screens? Or well known places that fix this problem?

Thanks in Advance

their are tons of topics here on them, Ebay has the screens as do many other places, the fix requires skill, also Module masters will do the repair for you.

ModuleMasters has been showing a "2 week backorder" for months now. DNA Speedomters charges about $180 to replace the LCD using an aftermarket LCD and have a good reputation. PixelFix also does a great job (they repaired my cluster with an OEM LCD last week) and has more options. They offer replacement service with both OEM ($280 CAD) and aftermarket ($200 CAD) LCD's.

If you're in Canada Pixelfix will be a much easier option as they're in Mississauga so you don't have to deal with international shipping.

If you have good soldering skills this is a relatively easy DYI: https://www.audiworld.com/tech/elec183.shtml. PixelFix sells the aftermarket LCD unit to DYI'ers for $115 CAD. I personally don't have soldering skills good enough for me to want to risk a $1000 cluster

When I lived in California, I had real good relations with my service tech, when he saw my screen with dead pixels, he said he will take care of it for free. Almost all of the A6's have some dead pixels within 4-5 years. If you know someone in the dealership, maybe they can hook you up.
