Have been very slack with updates sorry.
A very brief list to get up to date, in no particular order:
7N0 (Bosch MRREvo) radar upgrade
- same radar as used in Golf 7.5, B8 Passat etc. Also used in Passat NMS so has a PQ operating mode. Faster lock to lead vehicle, much better following of lead vehicle through bends than older 3AA radar. Slightly less range which doesn't really affect us here but would possibly be evident at Autobahn speeds.
- required upgrade from MED9.1 to MED17.1.6 from B7. Minimal rewiring, needs new engine speed sensor 03H906433 and immobilizer matched to CCM. Would technically be possible with MED9 however would need to emulate mMotor_10 CAN messages which radar expects from ECU.
- has Component Protection so needs a cluster that supports CP, and needs to be matched to the radar, suitable FEC needs to be restored to enable ACC and front assist
Custom adapter to attach the factory mount:
MK8 Capacitive Touch steering wheel
- needs a CAN adapter soldered into Q3 stalks to delete cruise stalk. Also a LIN adapter
Tiguan Dynaudio subwoofer
- swapped 10 channel Lear amp for 12 channel Panasonic from Beetle Cabrio (5C6035456C) allowing install of the spare wheel Tiguan Dynaudio sub. Has less peak output than the 600w amp but much more usable for me and a great increase in low end
Connector is the single 50 pin type same as my car's factory plug from the 250w amp so I had to remove my frankenharness adapter. If installing in a car with factory Dynaudio would need to make an adapter or buy the connector and repin everything.
