Brendan's Candy White MY10.5 Passat R36 Wagon

[passat_r36]

Keeping to the stock look i upgraded the number plate lights, puddle lights, front parker lights and footwell lights in the 36.
Having it still look stock whilst getting rid of the yellow glow from the various halogen bulbs really cleaned it up nicely imo.
Highly recommend Supernova Lighting in Carrum Downs

Did you have to do any VCDS coding or what is a straight plug and play swap?

[passat_r36]

you have to swap two of the pins on the harness around otherwise the climate will not save your settings (will reset to AC on and 20 degrees whenever you restart the car)
I can live with that for a week until i get around to cutting my harness apart

only coding i will need is i want the staging turned on (not required just a cool little bonus)

Forgive my ignorance, for a fellow Candy White R36 wagon owner , can you explain what this new panel is and does?

[passat_r36]

well overall: not a lot

but if you break it down.

1. It looks better / more modern (because it is)
2. Allows for a few more functions (MAX AC / MAX Defrost)
3. Push button for seat heaters - so if passenger gets out without turning it off it doesn't stay of for days like mine used to.
4. Now gives me screen prompts on the RNS510 (ass seen in picture above) where i never had it before.

that's basically it
