Ciarans caddy
Hi guys, i finally picked up a 2012 caddy yesterday.
I hate the steelies though so picked up a set of 16's which do for now.
I have a few quick questions though, i have a midline dash 2K0 920 965G but i don't have any buttons on the stalk or a MFSW. Can anyone tell me what part number stalk i need to buy to be able to cycle me through the cluster? Or guide me in the right path, ive looked but can only find guides for fitting the cruise control stalk.
Also the radio fm has very poor reception, is it true the aerial is in the passenger mirror? I had a quick look there and found a brown and white wire not connected to anything.
Need to get it colour coded soon.
Thanks for looking

Re: Ciarans caddy
I think the aerial is in the drivers mirror, there's a few MFSW/STALK threads on here with all the info you need. I like the wheels by the way and the van is sitting nicely on them, you can sometimes end up with the monster truck look but yours looks well

That's mate, need to sit down and study the guides, might as well add cruise control while im at it.
Im suprised it sat well, i was afraid of the monster truck look but it will still have to get lowered after i colour code it

Re: Ciarans caddy
You'll probably want to go with bigger wheels if you are dropping it, not essential but there's a What Wheels are you running thread on the active topics right now that you can access, well worth a lookcfitzy6 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2018 9:24 am Thanks lad I'll open up the drivers mirror today and have a look.

Re: Ciarans caddy
Aerial should be either in the mirror or possibly built into the windscreen but that's normally on the older ones. Not sure what year they changed to the mirror aerials but mines 2012 and they were in there until I changed to Touran mirrors.

Thanks lad, it looks like the passenger mirror has been replaced recently so maybe the wrong mirror was bought.Barbel330 wrote:Aerial should be either in the mirror or possibly built into the windscreen but that's normally on the older ones.

Re: Ciarans caddy
So today i took out the flooring lining and removed about a ton of builders crud from underneath it!
Next i need to remove the bulkhead and give it a deep clean and do some mods too it.
Is there a bulkhead out there that has window in it instead of the grills does anyone know? The grills annoy the crap out of me in the mirror!

Motexion bulkhead. I have carpet the back of it. But it comes in plastic or carpet on the cab (front) section. You can get it in black or grey plastic.

Re: Ciarans caddy
Cut the mesh off, order some plexiglass (can be ordered to size on ebay) and screw that over where the mesh was. that's what i plan to do anyway

Pricey yes but finishes a van off well.
