The Workhorse

[Jamie_startline]

After years of working away from home and getting sick of missing the family and having a home life I decided late last year to go self employed. Naturally the first thing I needed was a van and it had to be a caddy. After having numerous golf’s, a polo and a vw up it was quite obvious that I’d have a soft spot for the caddy.
So I collected her on my birthday (by chance) early December 2022. And this is pretty much how she looked when I got her minus the sun strip.

It’s not like me to leave a car of my own standard, so while the mrs drives out ID.3 the workhorse is my to to do with as I please. Maybe not to everyone’s taste as I probably should have grown out of modding cars at my age but I’ll always be 18 in the head. My first mod was a roof and pipe rack, yeah I know, it’s not cool at all but it’s essential in my job. Then was onto the wheels. After just starting up business on my own funds were low but I managed to source a set of what I believe are Audi A6 wheels in 18”.

With spending a lot of the time on the road and taking calls one of the first things I needed was a hands free head unit. I didn’t know a lot about the higher spec vw head units at the time so I sourced a pioneer double din touch screen with CarPlay. The next thing I found was that the touch screen was distracting whilst driving, so I looked into a mfsw. I managed to get my hands on a mk3 scirocco flat bottom wheel which my old airbag fitted directly. I had to find an airbag look and swcm and then got to fitment.

Nice van, would like to get a mfsw fitted to mine.

How easy was it to fit and do the mfsw? Did you have controls before or were they retrofitted?
