Your car looks fantastic mate!
MY08 Golf GT Sport MKV
Cheers buddy! I haven't finished the look yet though![]()
Haven't had much time to work on the car lately due to other commitments, yesterday I had a spare hour so I decided to put my RCD510 in. Looks really nice and gives the interior a bit more modern feel.
While replacing my old head unit I also discovered my bluetooth kit is an EGO Talk !? And another little component is wired in the main harness. I don't think I'll be playing around with wiring, so does anyone know how to install a 9W7 kit on a MKV Golf? I thought my old harness would have worked but I'll most likely be needing a new one now. If possible I'd like to get it to work with the steering wheel buttons as well (something about a CAN Bus Filter if I'm not wrong).

Yeah that looks ****e.
It's pretty east to do. May not fit if you have understear drawers.
The Dension products are better as the control box fits behind the headunit, about the volume of two, 2.5 inch HDD's stacked on top of each other.
My 9W7 is tucked in behind my RCD510, and the microphone cable runs up my drivers side front roof pillar and along the front of the hoodlining, the mic is located inside the cavity of the roof console as per factory, works with no hassles at all.
The steering wheels volume controls work however I've still yet to get the phone button working, have to visit my mate Darkhorse Dev's sometime soon.![]()
I don't have any drawers. I think I need a foam box thingy if I'm correct? I've already got the 9W7 module I just don't have a harness or a mic for it. I'll probably be able to use the current mic I got which is mounted in front of the instrument cluster. I just have no idea about the harness and how that will work.
How did you fit the module behind the radio? and did u mount it anywhere? Real Estate behind the radio is pretty limited from what it looks like in my car. With the phone button, I've read on another post that you need to get a filter for the canbus or code the can bus as the 9W7 doesn't work with the Red MFD.
We didn't use the foam box (which would normally be under the drivers seat if BT was factory fitted.
Yeah space is limited but the BT module can be tucked in behind with no issues.
