What Accessories are you buying for your MK7 Golf?

[KFiddy]

yes I got mine in Adelaide and the parts guy had no idea what it was! but said they had 30 at head office - $650 for the box and $842 for the round one, I can rent you the programming dongle, there's a couple of how to videos on YouTube

word is you can still fit the tyre if its one of those skinny ones and you put the spare cover in the top position, .I think they (VW) have discontinued that model Helix and are now selling the unit that is a long box that fits in the boot. I purchased one and they sound fantastic, its an easy DIY job and only takes a couple of hours. You do need to program the box ,VW say its predone for a golf 4 door but mine was set for a Jetta, after trying all the settings I went with 13 which is for a Polo !

My dealer specifically said it's the one that fits in the spare wheel space and not the box one. I want the one that fits in the wheel.
I have seen photos of the helix sub fitting on top of the spare wheel for the GTI but I believe this won't work for the R due to there being less depth in boot because of the all wheel drive system.
I also heard as well that the round sub was discontinued but my dealer specifically checked with the spare parts team on what was available for for the 7.5 R, and they did say it was the circle one. I just hope it's a new model similar to the dynaudio sub. I would be more than happy with that.

Also I wouldn't have a clue about installing the system, I'd be too scared once I get to plugging the cables into the HU. I'd rather just my dealer do it, that way I'm covered properly with warranty.

He hasn't gotten back to me though. I'll check in with him next week.

So I have been advised that the mk7.5 sub kit fits inside the spare wheel like the dynaudio system and I won't lose the spare wheel.
This is great news. He will send me info next week. So i reckon I will get this instead of gutting my car to retro fit dynaudio.
I will share details and specs once I have the info.

My dealer gave me a no on this one. 'Said it was being "looked at", but nothing came of it.
Can you confirm your guy's on the money ?

So I believe he wasn't on the money the info he sent me is for the Helix plug n play system that replaces the spare wheel (thought it was discontinued). So I told him and he is checking with spare parts department. I don't want to lose the spare wheel.
Anyway if your dealer said they are looking into it, then I may wait.
I emailed VW and they got back to me saying to speak with my local dealership. Great customer service...

Anyway I'll report back if he gets back to me.

Unfortunately my dealer was misunderstood. It replaced the spare.... So I'm not going with it.
Hopefully VW Will come out with a different model soon.
SteveMc, which dealer said that they are looking into it?

Picked up factory roof bars for a reasonable price compared to the Thule version and while I was there also got a rear bumper scuff plate for about $150...but declined the offer of the dealer fitting the scuff plate for almost another $200

My 2017 GTI came with it enabled.

Laughable pricing there... I guess there is a significant cost in supervising the apprentice to ensure the sticker is peeled correctly and centred in place... 🙄

Can confirm that floor mats for mk7 Golf fit the new mk7.5 after receiving these today.
They look thick and flexy enough and of reasonable quality.

Should do - there's no structural change to the car.
