Can be done but the kit from Kufatec is pretty expensive (500£).

Then needs coding with VCDS.

I know it can be done and can get the full kit for just over £200, just wondered if there i a guide knocking about.

Wiring is usually down the right hand side of the car when looking at the car from behind (drivers side in other words)
TCR, Pure Grey, DCC, Dynaudio and Climate Screen.

Even on the MK7 ?, just thinking that it now connects up to the unit in the glovebox now and not the headunit..

You may need to look then but to be honest what's the difference between behind the head unit or in the glovebox, about three inches??

In cabling routing terms its a lot more than 3 inches but i get your point.

Afaik VW route down the driver's side if fitted in factory but dealers have been known to run down the passenger side when retrofitting (on the continent at least).
