I know how to install everything and which pins to connect and all that, but do I really need to use VAGCOM to let my car know it now has foglights?? Can I just use a relay light I did on my 03 Jetta??
View 5 RepliesI want to make a few changes to my Prius. I would like to change out the stock headlights for the OEM LED headlights and add the OEM foglights.
I have some part numbers for the foglights and would get them through the dealer. What about the LED headlights? Is there an improvement over the standard headlights? I have read about the "auto leveling" sensor that is mounted on the back bumper, is that something that can be done?
Okay, this is my problem. I bought a HID kit for my 08 Passat and did a little searching and found that I need to get into the computer and change the settings to where it thinks I have the Xenon lights already. If I didn't do it, that it would burn my ballast So I spoke to someone who knows about Vw's. Was told to download the software from Ross-tech and instead of paying the $300 for the VAG-COM, that I could get one off Ebay and I would be good to go. But to my surprise, I downloaded everything, got my OBD-II wire but I keep on getting error codes and cant get into the computer to change anything. I have installed and deleted the program, spent hours trying to fix.

View 11 RepliesI just bought this grill [URL].... and it fits great. However, the grill does not come with a emblem so I was just going to put mine from my 06 Passat on but it is a lot smaller than the opening on the new one. Am I just missing something here, or are there different size grill emblems on some cars? Or is my new grill just messed up?
View 3 RepliesSeems too coincidental to be unrelated. I installed a new K&N filter into my '04 GLX Wagon and 2 days later my MIL light came on. No blinking just always on. Is there a connection between the two? If I swap out the filters will the light go out on it's own or does it need to be reset? If it's not the filter what's the most common cause of the light coming on? Assuming is doesn't start blinking I have read it's OK to drive until fixed.

My 98 came with a JVC aftermarket; don't like the look. I consider putting a stock radio back in.
I picked up some Megan coil overs with plans to install them today, but can't figure out where one part goes. It looks like a spring spacer. The instructions are terrible and make no mention of what it is. My guess is it goes with the rear springs but...? [URL]....

View 8 RepliesI'm looking to install an auxiliary port into my 2006 Passat 3.6L 4motion and I was wondering what plug in converter would be best to get, what other cables I would need, and where I can buy a flush 3.5mm aux cord for installing in a blank plastic piece next to the gear lever. I'm not looking to buy a converter that charges an iPod.

My DDM HIDs came in the mail today and fellow vortexer D.Passat00 was kind enough to meet up with me and do the needed vag-com adjustments. So firstly a shout out to him, he's a solid dude and really nice
Now: Is there a DIY for headlight removal? I can't seem to find one, and without removing the headlights I'm afraid there just isn't enough room to install the new HID bulbs without dinging/touching them.
I have a 2010 2.0t Passat and I got the 35w 6000k DDM HID kit
well installed my new in dash dvd player...everything went smooth...turned the car on....AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON...WHAT DID I DO?!?!?!? WHAT DO I DO?!?!?!?
View 21 RepliesJust installed a euro wood/leather wheel in my wife's 03 Passat wagon. It had the MFD wheel previously.I've done the install numerous times as far as going from MFD wheels to GTI or R32 wheels and never had this problem.
Ran a jumper from pin 9 to 18 and modified the plug to the clockspring....I got the cruise working no problem and that's the toughest... I've double checked everything and think it has to be with the wheel itself. I see the wheel has TWO tabs for the horn ground. I'm only using one right now as that's how my R wheel is in my 03 Jetta (just pulled the bad and checked it). What could be causing the horn not to work?
After installing the new head unit in my 06 Passat 2.0T, the "Airbag Fault" error appears on the MFD upon startup and the airbag light on the gauge stays on.
