Love this mod, I’m ordering the kit for my ‘17 S for the exact same reason. Thanks for sharing :)

[@forrestdeng8483]

The gray wire is the positive of the background lamp power supply，this double TYPE-A ports usb charger hasn't background lamp.

[@rollaevo99]

interesting , awesome video.....thumbs up!!

[@robbiemcneill4239]

Hey man! Really like this video. Since I have a kid, I care about her comfort in the back seat! I'm going to look into this modification. For the longest time, I've noticed the rear AC vents do not blow hard at all compared to the fronts. Thinking about retrofitting an AC blower for the rear. Haven't done enough research yet!

[@ColoredinLight]

Yea it's great for kids, we had a mini trip last weekend and it worked out perfectly

[@Mushroomancer]

Honestly, cool to see the mod. Me personally, this is like a "let me cater to my passengers" type of mod, and I ain't going though all that so the back seaters can get a usb. screw them lol

[@paulraptis8384]

Question. What gauge is the OEM wire to the 12-volt outlet?

[@braxtonrosas7338]

You should get the touchpad climate control panel on there!

[@Da_Jrac]

It looks like it would fit the mk6 perfectly you think it would fit the mk6 rear console?

[@ColoredinLight]

idk I have a mk7

[@eppyz]

Just curious how the GTI does in the winter months? Does ok in snow and what not? Just curious👍

[@ColoredinLight]

Well I'm in Texas so not much snow but it did fine in our ice storm a few years back. At the end of the day its an all weather car like a lot of others

[@eppyz]

@@ColoredinLight I figured since in Germany it does snow and Golfs are like the #1 sold car there but here in the USA seems everyone needs an SUV or a Pickup 4x4 to do what the Europeans do in a VW Golf. That has always puzzled me🤔

[@Jordan_Schiefer]

Will this work on my 1979 Golf GTI

[@ColoredinLight]

Yes it is alispec universal

[@yechoumohamed9181]

Does the usb inlet of the armrest still work?

[@ColoredinLight]

I haven't checked, probably not. I have a tray that covers it anyways and I never use it but you could retain it by splicing into the wire instead of cutting it.

[@yechoumohamed9181]

Thanks for the info I use it very often because that usb in the armrest is used for apple CarPlay

[@chloeleedow7250]

Luckily I just hVe one kid hahaha same 😂
