The parts costs are very variable. I did it pretty slowly partly because I was prepared to wait for the right price on parts to come up.
I sourced parts from all over the world.
For example the radar module itself is about 2000Euro new but I managed to find one in the Netherlands for 200Euro.
Interested in the price of the radar module because a couple of months after I bought my car someone bumped the module with a towbar and put some divots in it. VW wanted $348 for ONLY the plastic cover . I got some cutter and an electric buff and cut it back till they were gone. Glad they didnt damage the actual workings
The radar cover is one of the parts that you kind of have to get new. They are very hard to find because they changed for B7. It's a different part.Quote:

Nice job! I was looking into to this and side asset retrofitting a while back, starting with a B7 nearly fully fitted would make the job a lot easier than what you had :P may just give it a try ... my OCD wants every option
Yeah starting with a B7 is a far less painful exercise.

Awesome and astounding, no one else would even contemplate it! Your patience is never ending.
Congratulations on getting this going.
I admire your stupidity ;)
Great effort to continue on to the end after a fair bit of work, which has now paid off.
Time to start the lane keeping assistant retrofit lol
It knows no bounds...Quote:
