Sitting here with a mk3 cabriolet and I don't feel like a loser LoL. I like the key entry and I also like the manual window opening :D - it is the charming part of having an old car

[@djkenny1202]

I personally prefer manual everything i have two thousand model Cabrio no power windows thankfully

[@BruceCarbonLakeriver]

@@djkenny1202 same here: manual window (as mentioned above) manual shifting not even ABS or Airbag. Only electrical thing is actually the ECU (which is necessary at TDI engines) and I plugged the cruise controll on it. :D

[@djkenny1202]

Bruce Carbon Lakeriver mine os automatic. It was clean, garaged. So I went with it. Prefer a manual. Might do so next year. But great stereo. Needs a compressor for AC, but I might leave that alone (convertible). Was yours custom made as TDI? Sounds incredible! I thought abs and airbag was on all Cabrios?

[@BruceCarbonLakeriver]

@@djkenny1202 Nope mine is 100% stock and I've got one of the first series with the 'oldest' TDI engine (Motorcode 1Z) :D Sure a awesome condition is always something to make a deal on :)

[@djkenny1202]

Bruce Carbon Lakeriver overseas? Never had such a cool Cabrio in the states.

I was looking into installing a viper alarm on my 98 GTI and was disappointed because I figured out that I would have to set a longer signal because of the vacuum system. I then stumbled on your video, and immediately bought a remote from eBay! I'm so happy now, thank you! Worked like a charm.

Could you post a vw part number for the white box assembly?

[@CrazytacoFilms1]

Thanks man! Awesome video, my brother actually just picked up one of these for my car today and gave it to me! I'm going to try and use one of the mk4 switchblade type key fobs and get a key made for it! Thanks for the help!

[@DistinctTuning]

Yessir that would be solid

[@clv5045]

Mk3Bomber did that work for you? All the ones I search for my 98 Jetta come up with the mk4 flips

[@NeverMetTheGuy]

So I've been not using my keyless, because I'm a lazy asshole that didn't know how fancy my GTI was out of the box.

[@dzenan9331]

Showed this to my friend. Now his '97 Mk3 has full kamei trims (That Mk3 is one of the last hatchbacks ever made tbh).

[@marktrolic]

my jetta is a wolfburg edition 1999, it came with the whitebox but it seems like the OG owner lost the fob, sadly recently the alarm would go off by it's self and would not turn off. had to remove the alarm box and uhm... apperantly the OG owner had done some goofy stuff to the starter where it literally jumps over the clutch safe and straight up start the engine. yes. i can turn on my Jetta in gear, it sux sometimes but it saved me once when the starter got stuck and i was in a hill. ig y'all can imagine the rest.

[@derrickgeorge5371]

My favorite model was euro lip and euro tag plate

[@fxdbeebe]

XD i keep a stockpile of white boxes at my house, thinkin about goin to a viper alarm though mostly for the remote start lol

[@ShutUpBubi]

Mk3 and Mk4 Jettas remind me of childhood man

[@boostaddict_]

Think I might have to do this, I'll see if I can get it to work with a MK7 key though. I know how to modify a MK2/3 key to fit in it, if the fob will work I'm totally doing it.

[@EuroLabB5]

Great vid man!! I'm about to make a couple vids with my mk3 and definitely doin this!! Also I noticed you might be missing the rear pass door handle cover?? I have one you can have if you need 👌

[@paulanderson7061]

Lots and lots of time lol

What about for an 01 cabrio? Would love some keyless entrance

[@joshyin2deep]

Installed a module from a 98 tdi, went to do procedures and it beeps but doesn't respond to the aftermarket banjo remote, any thoughts? From what I've read thr fcc I'd numbers have to match but obviously not the case for universal or aftermarket remotes? Thanks

[@trixie9867]

love it love it

[@sniperpaintcorrection6790]

What is that part called? The white box ? Also.. do you have to change the latch actutor to the ones with power lock?

[@juanerut]

Curious question would this work on a Mk3 Golf Jazz? I definitely appreciate the video and any insight

[@DistinctTuning]

Any mk3 really

[@sagarkumar-fi9ij]

What is the range on the keyless entry? Because mine does not work unless I'm really close to the car.

[@RestoDesignsnando]

Nice little mod!

[@nikocryer7062]

Hey man u have one of these vw highline cabro I have that's been sitting up for a few years looking to get rid of it for 500 nothing wrong with it but it had body damage

[@KenDeavers]

Does it work with the trunk button on a fob? Or just the doors?

[@gerardobrns]

hi, this is an awesome mod, exept it didnt work for me :(, well it did, kind of. i switched the black box for the white one, but as soon as i plugged it in, it started smoking. the alarm still works and it lets me start the relearn process, but it just doesnt connect to the new fob, im assuming something fried inside the box, was hoping maybe u could help me shed a light on what the issue might be. again thanks for the video/tip on the mod. id really to make this work.

[@KenDeavers]

I haven't done this myself yet but it sounds like an electrical problem with the unit. Did you pull it from a u-Pull it? Maybe find another one

[@famadrid78]

Can you use any other regular brand fob or does it hwve to be and look like the one you use

[@GNitroKing]

I have a white grill with the vr6 emblem on it if you want it’s for the Jetta I think it was given to me a long with a couple other parts but I don’t want it cuz mine car is black and it looks like shit... I’m also to lazy to paint so yeah

[@trbossdoggy]

I have 1996 mk3 golf and I cannot insert my key to driver side but passenger side only. Driver side door can be only opened from inside by pulling the lock up. Will it work using the passenger lock and doing the same thing there?

No it would not work . Fix the driver side , so you can insert your key , then it would work .
