Black Jetty Build

[Fatherless One]

Pete from Darkhorse developments a couple of posts above is your man mate. I literally just had mine updated last week by him as I had an RCD510 installed. And yes you are right, it's accessed from the footwell.

I'll second Pete's (Darkhorse) work

Haha yeah it helps to read

I've contacted Darkhorse and Tim from the VCDS thread.

Hopefully get it sorted next weekend.


Also I need help figuring out amp subwoofer wiring.
It's a Pioneer TS-1208-D4 sub:

and an Kenwood 8104D amp:

I had it installed like picture 1 on the right (from amp manual)


This would mean 4 ohm correct?

But in the subwoofer diagram 2 it shows:


which suggests that I am running 8 Ohm?


Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

So I finished installing everything. I ended up keeping the wiring the same as it seems to be working.
The interior was put together well, I was ready to burn down a kindergarten after trying to put the rear seats back in with those child seat locks. So painful.

The wiring went like this from the battery - across the back of the engine bay behind the firewall insulation, down through the clutch pedal hole (DSG) and then along the door sills to the back. I ran the RCA cables and the remote wire along there as well. No issues with noise interference yet.

After an excellent tip from VW_Tim I ran the wire from the fuse box which means no cables show in the engine bay which is really awesome.

I mounted the amp upside down - I read how this is bad for the amp as the heat rises up into the electronics. However when I opened up the amp it was actually mounted on the top half so I figured it wouldn't make much different.

VW_Tim helped me out last weekend with the canbus as well. Anyone in Brissy definitely hit him up! I had it sitting for 4-5 days and it started first time.

I got an ebay obd2 bluetooth adapter the other day for $15.
Hooked it up and installed DashCommand on the headunit.

It's so cool, what a time to be alive!

On a side note - I wasn't able to control the subwoofer independently so I disconnected the rear speakers and am using the subwoofer as the rears. This way I can control it from the built in amp app.
