Caddy project

Post by XBLster »

Hello, I bought a 2012 caddy 1.2tsi lowline.
After a pita install of the electric windows (used 2008 window regulators)
I wanted to upgrade the radio so I bought an RCD330 from aliexpress. And also ordered a transporter reverse cam. This all came but I messed up the reverse cam wiring (sharp parts in the trunk lit). Some soldering later it al worked except when the car was running... I still need to figure out how. I also retrofitted mk5 gti seats with touran bases.

The to do list:
Touran carpets
Touran dash
Airco
Install wiring for heated seats
Fix reverse cam
Rain and auto light sensor
Gti exhaust
Cold air intake
Fog lights
Caddy life mirrors
Ground zero subwoofer behind driver


Already done
Lowered
Mk5 gti front brakes
Seats installed
Radio upgraded
Sidebars


If any needs any advice let me know if I can help I will

I figured out how to fix the cam..

A dc filter was needed. Ordered it of Aliexpress. Installed it in the truck and now it works.

Also bought some caddy life mirrors of Autodoc. €98 each and they came with the mirrors so great deal. The caps need to be painted because now they are the same color as a pvc pipe.

I'm trying to figure out which door modules I need and ETKA is not very helpful.

I read online that you need a module with suffix 'A' but my local junkyard only has suffix 'G' , 'J' and no suffix.

Does anyone know what the suffixes mean?
