This is an EASY MOD to make. It was all I could do to not make a BMW joke in the video HAHA.. Thanks for watching. Here are the links to everything I used in the video: Comfort flasher kit ~ goo.gl/3NNDHF Radio removal tools ~ amzn.to/2Fp3mX3 Trim tool ~ amzn.to/2D4WY5b Wire terminal tool ~ amzn.to/2G04e5j
So Charles I have the base model deck (single din) and it resides in the lower portion of the space with the easy to remove filler plastic on top. Do you think I could do this without removing the deck? I have not purchased the removal keys yet so I am curious. Really enjoyed the video!
I did this mod on my B5.5 Passat several years ago, and I LOVE it. Almost every modern car has this feature. As stated in the video, it makes the car more up to date (ok, just a little). I had the hardest time de-pinning the wiring harness, but I didn't have a very good tool. If you don't have a quality re-pinning tool, I highly recommend getting one first!
Super happy I found this channel!! I bought a 1999.5 Jetta GLS VR6 about a year ago and had to make a couple repairs. So far this seems to be the only VW content out there. Keep it up! These step by step and how parts fail vids are a time, and money saver.
Awesome work, I had a 2003 mk4 golf gti 9 years ago and it had the comfort turn feature it was a really awesome spec but had to sell it, I've just bought a nicely modded 2001 mk4 golf gti and this is the one thing I've missed the most, the kits ordered and this guide will come in super handy. Thanks for taking the time to make it!
Great video! For anyone who has issues removing their radio, I was actually able to do this same mod by only removing the vent cluster above the radio. The original owner of my 20th had some radio work done that ended up damaging one of the release tabs on the radio, so I found this method much easier than fiddling with the radio.
I’m not into vag one bit, stumbled across this just,now. Just want to say, I’m 25 years in the trade, this guy is definitely dealer or ex dealer like myself. Absolute great video. Superb sir. Thumbs up from the UK.
I believe Charles #humblemechanic is a VAG technician by trade as his "real job" and HM is his way of sharing his love of VW's (and cars in general), knowledge and all around coolness with the "rest of us".
Thanks mr humble. U saved me. I got the retrofit kit. Depinned the wires and then thats it. There was no guide on what to do with the depinned wires. This guide sorted that part for me. Ur a SUPAstar. Keep it up brother.
This was amazing, thank you. I have a 2004 totally custom GTI 1.8t. It has been sitting in storage most of its life. I recently started driving it again and miss this feature. I found the kit on Black Forest Industries and found your video. I can’t wait to do this mod in order to have the three blinks.
Good video for showing how to de-pin a connector. If you like the mod or not there is good info here. BTW, MK6 Jetta blinks 4 times and I love that feature.
I had no idea OEMs made mods like that after the fact! Or was that an option on one of the packages from that generation? That I'm familiar with being a thing that can be put in like this with factory finish results.
Thank you so much for your videos! Im working on a mk4 Jetta (or Bora as they are here) and just did this mod myself. Couldn't make head nor tail of the manual that came with the loom but your video made it so easy to do!! Cheers from the other side of the pond!!
Really liking these kind of videos, expecting to see more in the future! I own 2 VWs and this is pure gold for me. Going to install a backup camera in my MK7 Golf pretty soon :)
Always learning tricks of the trade, that was some handy work with the seam ripper. Ida never thought to use one of those for opening up a harness. Love it!
I did this a few years ago when I had my MK4 TDI wagon. One wire wouldn’t release from the connector block and I ended up cutting and soldering it. It worked but looked a bit of a mess. Thankfully it was tucked behind the dash.
Hey Charles. I have a problem with my mk4 golf. When i lock or unlock the car with the remote, the right side of the blinkers stays on and every time seems harder to make them go off. Do you know where should i start locking in order to fix this problem. Thanks in advance and keep up with the awesome videos.
One of those mods I can definitely keep on living just fine without, but I spent about a week driving my dad's Sportwagen and once I hopped back into my car, using the comfort signals had become reflex and I had to remember I didn't have them. Nice feature in situations where it's difficult to hold the stalk in the lane-change position but also hectic enough you don't want to manual-cancel. Maybe more of an issue when driving manual than auto?
Heh. Funny. This is pretty common in cars here in Europe (NL)! I love the feature and use it mostly always when changing lanes on highways. In city traffic i tend to just switch on indicators more and let the steeringwheel kick 'em off. It really is 'convenient'. ;)
Thanks for this video. I've been trying to follow their directions for doing this on a MKIV Jetta TDI with no success. I figured I was missing a connector. I'll take another look now, maybe I'm not.
I got this feature on my last car (-99 MK4 golf), but not on the car i own now (-02 MK4 Golf) and i hate it :D Got so used to it on the last 90tkm that its hard to live without
My Citröen does that and to be honest... For the first years I thought it was a default 😂 o took a while to actually realise it is a feature and yes, it is very convenient.
Dude VW needs to hire you to work with Leon to make install videos for the VW cup. That was a great video. Nice work. I wish I had this in my MK4 R when I had it.
If anyone is looking at this, wondering if you can install this in a MK4 Jetta, yes you can! Just installed this in my 02 Jetta TDI. I didn’t take the radio and all that out, popped out the cover for the center vents and did everything there. Mine doesn’t have heated seats and an ESP button but the connectors are there for heated seats. I had to get creative with how to hide the wiring for this kit but I did get it back in there and all together.
Hey man, I have a Jetta tsi 2016 and the AC compressor is not getting any current so the air is not cold. I was wondering if you know which one is the AC fuse? Thanks!
Interesting - I had a 2000 Jetta which had this feature stock. It was a GLX VR6 which had all of the gadgets and gizmos (more than my 2006 Audi A3 in fact!).
Hi, do you know which wire does what behind the hazard switch? I got something similar but doesn't have an additional harness so I have to figure out which wire goes where!
How do you take off the trim on the center vents to adjust the blades? 2 of mine aren’t being held in so the dial to adjust the direction of the air isn’t working
Hey Charles, I'm Zach. I've been hardcore thinking about going into the mechanic field, I've always liked kinda figuring out how things worked, especially mechanically. But my question isn't really about, you know, how to get into it, your advice, etc, because you have videos on that. Basically what I'm wondering are your thoughts on the Mazda Rotary engine, if you know much about them, etc. I have an 05 Rx-8 that I adore and the Rotary engine is really what got me thinking about being a mechanic.
From an engineering perspective I find them fascinating... wouldn't know the first thing about working on one tho. LOL I believe #humblemechanic has a video or two on how to get started in the automotive technician field.
this is on my to-do list! the way i hold the steering wheel on my TT my arm blocks my view of the blinker light, so i forget to turn it off occasionally
I'm in the process of buying my first car, I live in the UK so insurance is a massacre so I can't get anythything with an engine bigger than 1.6 litres or anything that's a sports car. I was looking at the MK4 Golf and found they never made a 3dr 1.6 litre MK4 Golf, do you know why? Also do you recommend I get a 1.6 or 1.4 petrol MK4 from a mechanical perspective? The 1.6 is a bit off putting because at the same time I like and don't like the look of the 5dr version and I don't need a 5dr car. I was also looking at old MK3 Golfs and Honda Civics ED/EF and EG but hard to find in good condition without rust and not modified by a ricer, but my dad says I shouldn't get such an old car for my first car, any thought on this?
Thanks for the video Humble. It's a nice feature and my wife's cx5 has it (3blinks) but my GTI doesn't; however I'm a 4 blink guy and just use my finger to control the blinks...too bad the relay isn't programmable/adjustable or comes in different blink options. Have a great vw day. Cheers.
So I’m having a problem with my mkiv GTI. I installed some led headlights into my car and started having issues. First off I started blowing fuses first was the headlamp fuses replaced them and they were fine. Then had my cluster lights go out that fuse was replaced now it’s fine but now my blinkers keep blowing fuses. I replaced the hazard switch because they stopped working all together but now with the new switch my left blinker works with no problem but as soon as I use my right blinker the fuse pops. Also in order for my left blinker to work the hazard switch has to be on the on position. I have removed the led lights because it obviously caused the problem from the start. Any info you may be able to help me with would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the long comment.
You should make a video showing how to illuminate the air vents on the MKIV R32 as it didn’t come as standard for some reason. Although some say all the wires are there but not connected.
What depining tool you used in the video? I don't really want to buy the whole tool kit, was it AT15? And this komfort kit also works on Passat B5.5 even tho it says its fo Mk4?
Any idea on how to get the rear amber turn signals to work on a 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan? I recently installed some row led taillights for it and it sucks that they don't work properly.
HumbleMechanic I believe so. I'd be willing to pay if you could figure it out. My local guy is stumped. I'd like to have full brake lights and the amber turn signals working properly. Currently only the outer red leds light up upon braking and the amber turn signals just remain lit constantly no blinking or anything so we left them disconnected. I believe the full brake light can be coded using OBDeleven. But no idea about how to get the amber turn signals to work properly.
I have just one question, why didnt u simply remove the central vents and take the hazard switch out from there, its much easier, than disassembling the whole bottom of the dashboard?
So, ive got a mk 3 gti. When i use either direction indicator (left turn or right turn) both flash as if my hazards are on.. i can turn on hazards while this is happening and it just blinks double fast. Also, headlights do not come on unless hi/low beam arm is held back and that also is the only time my ac/heater blows or wipers will work... Any idea what could be going on?
The only issue with the Passat brakes is the rotors are soft. This makes for noise, or a little faster wear. I don't think it needs any upgrade at all.
HumbleMechanic for the brakes I was thinking to get 2 pistons and a bigger rotors! Do you recommend a specific brand and how much cost do u think that would be?
Your a dam mind reader I was in s Driving my 02 jetta like yesterday and had thought the first time I seen blinkers do this and was like how could I do this to my car I am a believer in ware and tear on the cam switch. It just sounds horable like a stick braking
I got 2005 audi a6 3.2 , start trans issue, go limp mode. Dropped trans pan low oil, only 1 qt found, i did fill out 5qt. Long story made short. Car is fine now. What others place than the trans pan this transmission will leak?.
I always wanted someone to do a video on this. Thanks, Charles! I'll be adding this to my '03 GTI shortly. I also notice that your glove box has the tab broken where it mounts under the radio (like they all seem too.) I don't think that screw/tab is necessary though, do you?
@HumbleMechanic you are right its a stupid thing to have, you can just hold the leaver down and turn, or if you are a bright guy you use the OBD2 to acess the ECU and change it eletronic to do that wihthout all of that trouble
@@HumbleMechanic yea, i thought as much tbh, but still 3 flashes its not enough to be safe to change lane, you can just press the leaver a bit and it will turn on the indicator and turn it off when you let go the leaver, but its opinions i guess ✌
If You are not able to find so my be you can help me in another way. is this module connected in paraller to electrical installation of car or maybe into in series. I hope i explain what i am talking about quite clearly :-)
hey! i'm trying to add some mods to my vw bora 2008 (brazil), and i one day wondered if it's possible to add this comfort feature and a sound relay? i mean, that type of relay that beeps instead of tick-tick, hahah got it? another thing i'm trying to do is to install the cruise control on this very same car... but i couldn't find the correct wires on my ECU plug to insert the new wires in... any suggestions?
I have this feature in B6 from factory and I would actually prefer not having this feature. It makes making one blink signal very hard which is sometimes used here in Finland to signal the driver behind that it would be a good place to overtake. I think it can be adjusted with VCDS if you have it.
HumbleMechanic I agree, and I’m sure it would help me out of the doghouse too!! She misses the one I installed in her old mk4 Jetta,and she doesn’t understand how much more complex the ‘14 is. Engineered plug and play components are going to have correct harness plugs(or adapters) The thing is I haven’t even found a decent aftermarket one,and no way I’d take it somewhere to have it done. Some jobs you have to do yourself. I’d prefer if I was the one to fry my ecm thank you 😲😂

HumbleMechanic Hey Charles, you made a typo in the description. You put "BWM" instead of "BMW". Haha, no turn signals, nice one by the way!
UK style signalling... All wrong side
HumbleMechanic any chance they make this for the mk4 beetle?
Adam Socolofsky it will, pin layout is different though

absolutely the best DIY-manualvideo i‘ve ever seen
Thank you
Awesome guide! My wife bought me this kit for my birthday a few years ago and I love it!
My b6 a4 (2003) has this, I was suprised! My former mk6 Jetta had it and I didn't think the Audi would. Love it!
My car already has this but I still felt the need to watch.
THANK YOU!
With all the wires pull out of the connectors should we disconnect the battery first?
Nah. Nothing will function with the relay out. Even the radio out is fine.
Excellent 👍 Do you know if this works with led bulbs as well?
I had no idea OEMs made mods like that after the fact! Or was that an option on one of the packages from that generation? That I'm familiar with being a thing that can be put in like this with factory finish results.
pretty cool huh
Indeed! I'll have to check to see if any of my vehicles have similar perks available.
Thank you so much for your videos! Im working on a mk4 Jetta (or Bora as they are here) and just did this mod myself. Couldn't make head nor tail of the manual that came with the loom but your video made it so easy to do!! Cheers from the other side of the pond!!

Thank you so much for this video!!! I have had this retrofit kit sitting around for my Turbo S for about a year now. Thank you ☺👍
Programmed my R mk7 to 5flashes....love it

I agree.
Heh. Funny. This is pretty common in cars here in Europe (NL)! I love the feature and use it mostly always when changing lanes on highways. In city traffic i tend to just switch on indicators more and let the steeringwheel kick 'em off. It really is 'convenient'. ;)
On the internet i can not find the manual, only nagging people who talk about it.
Thank you so much for saving me so much time!!
Thanks for this video. I've been trying to follow their directions for doing this on a MKIV Jetta TDI with no success. I figured I was missing a connector. I'll take another look now, maybe I'm not.
Once again great video Charles. I was hoping you were going to tackle the heater core on the R!
Thanks man.. Not ready to that one just yet... AGAIN HAHAHA
I can do the MK4 easier than the MK3. But it's all good.
I got this feature on my last car (-99 MK4 golf), but not on the car i own now (-02 MK4 Golf) and i hate it :D Got so used to it on the last 90tkm that its hard to live without

Hahahha.
Dude VW needs to hire you to work with Leon to make install videos for the VW cup. That was a great video. Nice work. I wish I had this in my MK4 R when I had it.
HAHA, Thanks! I actually got a call about it from a company bidding on it.
I am not surprised. You would be great at it.
Thanks. Sadly it never went anywhere. I think it's VW legal that is being silly.
bummer. That sounds like them. Just keep doing what your doing and ill keep directing techs to your videos.
are you going to be doing a video on proper procedure for installing new rear wheel bearings when installing new rotors on the mk3?
If anyone is looking at this, wondering if you can install this in a MK4 Jetta, yes you can! Just installed this in my 02 Jetta TDI.
I didn’t take the radio and all that out, popped out the cover for the center vents and did everything there.
Mine doesn’t have heated seats and an ESP button but the connectors are there for heated seats. I had to get creative with how to hide the wiring for this kit but I did get it back in there and all together.
Interesting, brown wires are ground, same in Mercedes. Are they also marked "W" points in the electrical diagrams?
I plan on doing this to my corrado VR6 it’s a slightly different loom great video
Will this modification allow the use of LED turn signal lamps and avoid the hyper-flash? Or will it allow the use of another flasher that will?
Wondering the same. If it does I would go this route otherwise I may just do the three wire relay hack instead.
Sweet! I'm definitely gonna check it out for my b5.5
I have some backlit lay-flat vents waiting to go in, looks like a good job to do both things together.
Great time to stack jobs
VCDS has this option build in. (Comfort Blinking) Number 9 / Number 31. Write "1" to "5" for the amount of comfort blinks you desire and you are done.
I dont think that works on the older cars like MK4/B5 though
Great video again.
I think this feature is standard now a days, but I find 3 flashes not enough for a lane change it should be atleast 5.
A lot of the newer cars can be adapted to 5. I’m sure there is a 5 click relay out there
Hey man, I have a Jetta tsi 2016 and the AC compressor is not getting any current so the air is not cold. I was wondering if you know which one is the AC fuse? Thanks!
Charles,
Sometimes my confort turn signals does not work on my passat 2007 do know why or have an idea ?
Thks for all the videos!!
Weak stalk maybe
do you recomend to change it?
Thks in advance!!
Hey man, your car, your money, your choice. Good for you, nice job
THANKS!
Interesting - I had a 2000 Jetta which had this feature stock. It was a GLX VR6 which had all of the gadgets and gizmos (more than my 2006 Audi A3 in fact!).
Hi, do you know which wire does what behind the hazard switch? I got something similar but doesn't have an additional harness so I have to figure out which wire goes where!
Dude. Make a video about the dash. I have the same problem in my C5 A6 and i am curious how to fix it
Where can I buy the pin release tool. I can’t get mine to work. Does the dealer sell that pin remover tool
Do you know where the relay is for the hazards/turn signals on 2014 Jetta?
Will this work on a 2002 new beetle as it’s basically a mk4 golf?
How do you take off the trim on the center vents to adjust the blades? 2 of mine aren’t being held in so the dial to adjust the direction of the air isn’t working

It's not really my cup of tea. But there is a niche for it 100%!
HumbleMechanic definitely. Depends on taste I guess lol a lot of people see them as unreliable but won't put in the effort for maintaining the engine
From an engineering perspective I find them fascinating... wouldn't know the first thing about working on one tho. LOL
I believe #humblemechanic has a video or two on how to get started in the automotive technician field.
this is on my to-do list! the way i hold the steering wheel on my TT my arm blocks my view of the blinker light, so i forget to turn it off occasionally

Love that feature. Any chance that will work on a 97 Eurovan? Or up to a 2003 Eurovan?
Oh good question. I’m not sure
I'm in the process of buying my first car, I live in the UK so insurance is a massacre so I can't get anythything with an engine bigger than 1.6 litres or anything that's a sports car. I was looking at the MK4 Golf and found they never made a 3dr 1.6 litre MK4 Golf, do you know why? Also do you recommend I get a 1.6 or 1.4 petrol MK4 from a mechanical perspective?

Vw yoda
Is it possible to increase the flash time
Would there be a adjusting pot inside the relay or a code on vcds
Or is it you get what ya get
This one is you get what you get. Mk5/B6 up you can change the number but not the interval time
Hi I have a question - I have an audi A3 and someone turned off my comfort signal - is there a way to re-program that feature?
Really cool! Will do it on my mk4. Always missed it in my car.
Is it possible to retrofit a different instruments cluster on a passat b5.5 to get the instrument to see fuel consumption like driving computer
So I’m having a problem with my mkiv GTI. I installed some led headlights into my car and started having issues. First off I started blowing fuses first was the headlamp fuses replaced them and they were fine. Then had my cluster lights go out that fuse was replaced now it’s fine but now my blinkers keep blowing fuses. I replaced the hazard switch because they stopped working all together but now with the new switch my left blinker works with no problem but as soon as I use my right blinker the fuse pops. Also in order for my left blinker to work the hazard switch has to be on the on position. I have removed the led lights because it obviously caused the problem from the start. Any info you may be able to help me with would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the long comment.
How much dash crack while remove t-20 screws on the lower knee panel? Great video. Keep them coming.
It’s already pretty bad. So nothing new. Lol
How are you liking that gen2 fuel m12 impact?
Does this comfort relay system once installed allow you to use LED turn signal bulbs and not get hyperflash ??
You will still need the proper LEDs with resistors in them
When you worked at VW and people bought new VW's or second hand, was this something a customer could choose to have?
Yeah if they wanted it I would be happy to install it.
Super great vid! Definately my next mod!
Thanks. I love it too
Hey man what do u think about do a ecu tuning to a vw golf 4 r32/v6? Something u would recommend?
I’m probably going with UM tune
What's your input for upgrade the brakes of my Passat 2017?
Which size of the terminal tool you used? Thanks.
You should make a video showing how to illuminate the air vents on the MKIV R32 as it didn’t come as standard for some reason. Although some say all the wires are there but not connected.
mine doesn't have wires unless they are wrapped in the harness. I plan to do that at some point. When I can find the parts.
HumbleMechanic mine didn’t either but some people’s did lol. I’ll probably pull some off a Jetta at the junk yard for cheap.
I pulled a set of illuminated vents out of a Jetta. Haven't found a great tutorial to how to wire them up just yet.
What depining tool you used in the video? I don't really want to buy the whole tool kit, was it AT15? And this komfort kit also works on Passat B5.5 even tho it says its fo Mk4?
I use the OEM one. $$$$$$
Any idea on how to get the rear amber turn signals to work on a 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan? I recently installed some row led taillights for it and it sucks that they don't work properly.
Maybe a coding issue?
HumbleMechanic I believe so. I'd be willing to pay if you could figure it out. My local guy is stumped. I'd like to have full brake lights and the amber turn signals working properly.

I have just one question, why didnt u simply remove the central vents and take the hazard switch out from there, its much easier, than disassembling the whole bottom of the dashboard?
2 reasons, 1) The plastic is super brittle, I didn't want more broken dash parts. 2) I am going to put an OEM radio back In/.
So, ive got a mk 3 gti. When i use either direction indicator (left turn or right turn) both flash as if my hazards are on.. i can turn on hazards while this is happening and it just blinks double fast. Also, headlights do not come on unless hi/low beam arm is held back and that also is the only time my ac/heater blows or wipers will work... Any idea what could be going on?
Is that necessary to upgrade the factory brakes of my Passat 2017? And what's the best upgrade should I do for it?
The only issue with the Passat brakes is the rotors are soft. This makes for noise, or a little faster wear. I don't think it needs any upgrade at all.
HumbleMechanic thank you for the feedback! How about to change the tires from 16” to 17” is that something good to add or no?
HumbleMechanic for the brakes I was thinking to get 2 pistons and a bigger rotors! Do you recommend a specific brand and how much cost do u think that would be?
ooh thank you yoda of vag i will be having to do this if its possible on a old 2000 chassi passat .
My 2003 Passat had that was it something that came on the higher trim mine was a GLX
Excellent tutorial. Would've been neat to see outtakes at the end. ;)
It's still apart. HAHA
Didn't know this is a thing. Great info!
Your a dam mind reader I was in s
Driving my 02 jetta like yesterday and had thought the first time I seen blinkers do this and was like how could I do this to my car I am a believer in ware and tear on the cam switch. It just sounds horable like a stick braking
It was awesome if you make a smaller video for the passat wiring ;)
I just might. I actually have to order another kit for another car :)
Hi. Can you put or give a wiring diagram of this harnes. I have got ony flash relay without wiring harnes and connectors.
Not sure if I kept the book or not. Let me see if I can find it.
I wonder if there's any way to adapt this to other cars.
Great video! What car are you buying next?
THANKS! No plans for anything new yet. But my wife might need new wheels later this year.
Fabulous! I will do it on my B5.5 Passat.
It's the best. I have had it on my Passat forever!
I got 2005 audi a6 3.2 , start trans issue, go limp mode. Dropped trans pan low oil, only 1 qt found, i did fill out 5qt. Long story made short. Car is fine now. What others place than the trans pan this transmission will leak?.
WOW, seen one leak at the cooler and pump a bunch of ATF into the coolant.
I always wanted someone to do a video on this. Thanks, Charles! I'll be adding this to my '03 GTI shortly. I also notice that your glove box has the tab broken where it mounts under the radio (like they all seem too.) I don't think that screw/tab is necessary though, do you?
I’ve seen many cut. I don’t like it. The console comes out easy
Isn't this something that can just be enabled with VCDS? As well as adjusting the blink counter?
on the newer gen cars, yes! This was not module controlled. So you have to add this 3x relay
@HumbleMechanic you are right its a stupid thing to have, you can just hold the leaver down and turn, or if you are a bright guy you use the OBD2 to acess the ECU and change it eletronic to do that wihthout all of that trouble
You’re not going to recode this one that way. It’s too old
@@HumbleMechanic yea, i thought as much tbh, but still 3 flashes its not enough to be safe to change lane, you can just press the leaver a bit and it will turn on the indicator and turn it off when you let go the leaver, but its opinions i guess ✌
If You are not able to find so my be you can help me in another way. is this module connected in paraller to electrical installation of car or maybe into in series. I hope i explain what i am talking about quite clearly :-)
On a stock MK4, you only need to remove the radio to install the relay, that's it, you don't need to remove the panels or the glove box.
Awesome! I have a 2002 Passat B5.5 Variant. I'm doing this. :)
You will love it. I did it on my Passat too.
is there a universal version?
Hi there. Will this work on b5.5 as well or it s a different relay ? Thanks.
Exact same kit. The first one i did was on my B5.5 Passat like 10 years ago.
@@HumbleMechanic oh yeah. That's perfect. Gonna get one for my passat. Thanks for the reply.
hey! i'm trying to add some mods to my vw bora 2008 (brazil), and i one day wondered if it's possible to add this comfort feature and a sound relay? i mean, that type of relay that beeps instead of tick-tick, hahah got it?
another thing i'm trying to do is to install the cruise control on this very same car... but i couldn't find the correct wires on my ECU plug to insert the new wires in... any suggestions?
Most cruise systems I’ve seen added were not from vw.
I have this feature in B6 from factory and I would actually prefer not having this feature. It makes making one blink signal very hard which is sometimes used here in Finland to signal the driver behind that it would be a good place to overtake. I think it can be adjusted with VCDS if you have it.
Has the factory come me up with a remote start module for the wife’s ‘14 Jetta yet?
They have em for the passat, I’d kill for one for the Jetta.
Not that I have seen. It's silly not to have it.
HumbleMechanic
I agree, and I’m sure it would help me out of the doghouse too!!
She misses the one I installed in her old mk4 Jetta,and she doesn’t understand how much more complex the ‘14 is.
Engineered plug and play components are going to have correct harness plugs(or adapters)
The thing is I haven’t even found a decent aftermarket one,and no way I’d take it somewhere to have it done.
Some jobs you have to do yourself.
I’d prefer if I was the one to fry my ecm thank you 😲😂
Afert this mod to my seat leon mk1 then I turn on and off hazards left blinker blinks 3 times, is there any solution?
