Hi all, Is the climate screen retrofittable for the MK7 Golf GTI?

Actually another way to look at this enquiry would be to ask if the climate screen were chipped, damaged or cracked could it be replaced by a third party/retro-fitted or does it have to go back to VW to have the windscreen refitted?  If it does have to go to VW to be refitted as I feel may be the case would it be part of the factory warranty if the windscreen were chipped 7 cracked? 

However if it can be retro fitted it would be easier to replace the windscreen should it become damaged.

I would imagine a windscreen supplier could replace one of the screens as its more than likely a push on connector on each side feeding the supply to the screen.

If we are talking about 'retrofitting' rather than just replacing an existing climate screen then there would need to be wiring/connectors and switchgear present to operate the climate screen when fitted.

As its a factory option tied into having Advanced Telephone preparation as well I wonder how or maybe it has no relevance at all, to fitting a retrofit Climate Screen if you are not bothered about potential poor phone signal strength because of the screen makeup.

Do you still have to have the phone prep with the climate screen?

Just checked configurator and its still showing need to have advanced phone prep with the climate screen option.

Anything is retrofitable providing you can find the right person to do it.

The configurator has always said both together but hasn't someone on here ordered the climate screen without the advanced tel prep?

Ah ok. It wouldn't surprise me if we can do this but would need the salesman to do it on ordering.
