This is an EASY MOD to make. It was all I could do to not make a BMW joke in the video HAHA.. Thanks for watching. Here are the links to everything I used in the video: Comfort flasher kit ~ goo.gl/3NNDHF Radio removal tools ~ amzn.to/2Fp3mX3 Trim tool ~ amzn.to/2D4WY5b Wire terminal tool ~ amzn.to/2G04e5j

So Charles I have the base model deck (single din) and it resides in the lower portion of the space with the easy to remove filler plastic on top. Do you think I could do this without removing the deck? I have not purchased the removal keys yet so I am curious. Really enjoyed the video!

I did this mod on my B5.5 Passat several years ago, and I LOVE it. Almost every modern car has this feature. As stated in the video, it makes the car more up to date (ok, just a little). I had the hardest time de-pinning the wiring harness, but I didn't have a very good tool. If you don't have a quality re-pinning tool, I highly recommend getting one first!

Awesome work, I had a 2003 mk4 golf gti 9 years ago and it had the comfort turn feature it was a really awesome spec but had to sell it, I've just bought a nicely modded 2001 mk4 golf gti and this is the one thing I've missed the most, the kits ordered and this guide will come in super handy. Thanks for taking the time to make it!

Great video! For anyone who has issues removing their radio, I was actually able to do this same mod by only removing the vent cluster above the radio. The original owner of my 20th had some radio work done that ended up damaging one of the release tabs on the radio, so I found this method much easier than fiddling with the radio.

One of those mods I can definitely keep on living just fine without, but I spent about a week driving my dad's Sportwagen and once I hopped back into my car, using the comfort signals had become reflex and I had to remember I didn't have them. Nice feature in situations where it's difficult to hold the stalk in the lane-change position but also hectic enough you don't want to manual-cancel. Maybe more of an issue when driving manual than auto?

If anyone is looking at this, wondering if you can install this in a MK4 Jetta, yes you can! Just installed this in my 02 Jetta TDI. I didn’t take the radio and all that out, popped out the cover for the center vents and did everything there. Mine doesn’t have heated seats and an ESP button but the connectors are there for heated seats. I had to get creative with how to hide the wiring for this kit but I did get it back in there and all together.

So I’m having a problem with my mkiv GTI. I installed some led headlights into my car and started having issues. First off I started blowing fuses first was the headlamp fuses replaced them and they were fine. Then had my cluster lights go out that fuse was replaced now it’s fine but now my blinkers keep blowing fuses. I replaced the hazard switch because they stopped working all together but now with the new switch my left blinker works with no problem but as soon as I use my right blinker the fuse pops. Also in order for my left blinker to work the hazard switch has to be on the on position. I have removed the led lights because it obviously caused the problem from the start. Any info you may be able to help me with would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the long comment.

I have to admit, this is one "feature" in my car that I disabled. In some situations, 3 flashes just isn't enough to complete the lane change...but sometimes, 5 is too much (I can select 3, 5 or 7 for some reason.) Whatever happened to just cancelling the flasher after changing lanes? It's not that hard. Or simply applying a little pressure with your pinkie to activate it as long as you want without clicking it fully into the "on" position? More often than not, I find this feature to be either unnecessary or more trouble than it's worth...assuming you want to actually indicate throughout the lane change, instead of having it turn off when you're halfway through.
@nos1000100
@nos1000100 6 жыл бұрын
I think some states require you to have the turn signal flashing for the entire duration of the lane change, turn. I believe this will make the car fall out of compliance in those states
@aussiebloke609
@aussiebloke609 6 жыл бұрын
As far as I know, that's the rule in most places, if not everywhere. I was taught it should go on at least 30 yards before actually turning or changing lanes...and not turn off until the maneuver was completed. I figure a flash or two _before_ I start changing, so I'm actually warning people of what is going to happen, rather than doing it as it happens (I figure by that time, they can see that I'm in the middle of a lane change.) But people are lazy these days and you're lucky if you get a flash or two when they're already halfway into your lane. Or the flasher goes off before they actually cross the line and you're not sure if they've changed their minds or are still going to continue changing lanes. Either way, it kinda defeats the point of warning other traffic before it happens.

I believe the full brake light can be coded using OBDeleven. But no idea about how to get the amber turn signals to work properly.

Has the factory come me up with a remote start module for the wife’s ‘14 Jetta yet? They have em for the passat, I’d kill for one for the Jetta.

HumbleMechanic I agree, and I’m sure it would help me out of the doghouse too!! She misses the one I installed in her old mk4 Jetta,and she doesn’t understand how much more complex the ‘14 is. Engineered plug and play components are going to have correct harness plugs(or adapters) The thing is I haven’t even found a decent aftermarket one,and no way I’d take it somewhere to have it done. Some jobs you have to do yourself. I’d prefer if I was the one to fry my ecm thank you 😲😂

I have just one question, why didnt u simply remove the central vents and take the hazard switch out from there, its much easier, than disassembling the whole bottom of the dashboard?
@HumbleMechanic

2 reasons, 1) The plastic is super brittle, I didn't want more broken dash parts. 2) I am going to put an OEM radio back In/.

Isn't this something that can just be enabled with VCDS? As well as adjusting the blink counter?

on the newer gen cars, yes! This was not module controlled. So you have to add this 3x relay

I guess that explains why my turn signals blink 3 times when I accidentally hit the bi-directional turn signal lever of my 2014 Beetle!!! Interesting.... I thought it was defective there for a moment.

I'm in the process of buying my first car, I live in the UK so insurance is a massacre so I can't get anythything with an engine bigger than 1.6 litres or anything that's a sports car. I was looking at the MK4 Golf and found they never made a 3dr 1.6 litre MK4 Golf, do you know why? Also do you recommend I get a 1.6 or 1.4 petrol MK4 from a mechanical perspective? The 1.6 is a bit off putting because at the same time I like and don't like the look of the 5dr version and I don't need a 5dr car. I was also looking at old MK3 Golfs and Honda Civics ED/EF and EG but hard to find in good condition without rust and not modified by a ricer, but my dad says I shouldn't get such an old car for my first car, any thought on this?

Is that necessary to upgrade the factory brakes of my Passat 2017? And what's the best upgrade should I do for it?
@HumbleMechanic
@HumbleMechanic 6 жыл бұрын
The only issue with the Passat brakes is the rotors are soft. This makes for noise, or a little faster wear. I don't think it needs any upgrade at all.

hey! i'm trying to add some mods to my vw bora 2008 (brazil), and i one day wondered if it's possible to add this comfort feature and a sound relay? i mean, that type of relay that beeps instead of tick-tick, hahah got it? another thing i'm trying to do is to install the cruise control on this very same car... but i couldn't find the correct wires on my ECU plug to insert the new wires in... any suggestions?

I always wanted someone to do a video on this. Thanks, Charles! I'll be adding this to my '03 GTI shortly. I also notice that your glove box has the tab broken where it mounts under the radio (like they all seem too.) I don't think that screw/tab is necessary though, do you?
