Check this guys Mk5 out .. Awesome retrofits done! :congrats:
Btw.. If anyone know what he used to make this blind spot assist - Oh please do share! Since I really want to add this to my car.
Also want the chrome air vent frames! - So anyone?! :D

It'd be interesting to read what the manufacturers of cars factory-fitted with these say in the user manuals. Bet my balls it's something along the lines of "This is not a substitute for direct manual observation of the blind spot...".

the wiring is simple, unit 1- power, can bus and local bus to unit 2.....unit 2 - power, local bus to unit 1 and power out to lights in the mirrors on either side of the car to show up when a car is approaching. here is one of the units found on ebay

Might be wrong here though. - Will keep searching for some info. This mod is added to the "to do" list hehe
I've got the 7N0 "AS" Canbus and a 3D Tiguan cluster fitted in my MK5 so this should be up to date.
**** A little more searching for this , and I found out that this feature is already fitted on the VW Phaeton 3D from around 2008. So guess I should work without the extended high can. Or what do think about this? :) @SI-R32 (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1757)

Testing with temporary loom and bits when weather gets better.
One other thing I'm worried about is when enabling extended can on newer gateway this now deals with headlight level control, as I have factory xenons, I might get faults? So a lot to play with but that's part of the fun
Post by: Christiank on May 10, 2017, 07:46:26 pm
I also got factory Xenons on mine.. With 3D color cluster from Tiguan and newest 7N0 "AS" canbus.
Haven't got any faults on xenons.
So you can ship out the set to me for testing :drinking:
Did you go with the mk7 golf set or the passat B7/8? the mk7 set is a whole lot cheaper than set for Passats..
Was thinking to buy this set

But if it'll work with the mk7 set, that will be the way I'm going.. Only problem is the light that shows something is in the blind spot? The mk7 has it in the mirror glass and the Passat has it in the cover. - Which was also the main reason I think the Passat set would be the way to go.

my only problem is I don't have colour cluster
I'm happy to loan you some if it would assist :happy2:

Cheers, the only thing I might need is just to turn it on then swap cluster back to my scirocco one, but if I can do in adaptation I'll write it all up for others so seemy only problem is I don't have colour cluster

I haven't got a kit, bought both sensors for £127, 2 plugs for £6 will make my own loom up and will fit leds to inside mirror trim, not the mirrors, don't know if the mk7 brackets fit behind the bumper so may just try another way of sticking them to mk5 bumper to save £30 on brackets
Yeah allright mate :)
You can buy these to make it look right..

Thinking I'll fit mine (if I'm getting along with this mod) in the mirrors or maybe in the speaker housing at the door.Yeah I prefer speaker housing, I've added wires to both mirrors for anti dazzle glass and it was the biggest nightmare ever, so speaker trim is ideal.
I was thinking these possibly?

If they look OK mount into speaker trim

Thanks for that as it gives me a good idea of angle to mount in a golf for the sensors .

I've just ordered some and they are from a Honda Acura
Post by: SI-R32 on May 10, 2017, 09:14:02 pm
Yeah this is the way you should go if you want to fit in the speaker housing mate! :party:Chris could you post the part numbers please then I can just go order them, cheers

Actually looking forward to this retrofit now when the cost factor is WAY lower than the complete Passat B7/8 set i did find at first hehe. Can't wait to check this box on the retrofit list. Also being the retrofit that the wifey problely will like the most
Post by: Christiank on June 03, 2017, 06:04:04 pm
