Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Arteon Mods - Advice

    hey all,

    have had my latest Arteon (MY22 Lapiz Blue shooting brake) for about three weeks and am now ready to do some mods as follows -

    1. Wrap mirrors in chrome
    2. Wrap roof gloss black
    3. Wrap front brightwork
    4. Change auto start stop button to right side of gear selector
    5. Get tacho onto map screen in dash
    6. AUDI edit to PCM
    7. Hardwire dashcam into roof console
    8. Qi charge pad conversion for centre console

    I have a couple of options for the wrap but need a referral for a place in or near the inner west in Sydney to get the last five items on the above list sorted.

    Happy to hear what others recommend both about whether this stuff can be done (esp items 4, 5, 7 and and who I could go to...

    thanks.

    1. Wrap mirrors in chrome
    2. Wrap roof gloss black
    3. Wrap front brightwork
    4. Change auto start stop button to right side of gear selector. Just de activate using OBD11
    5. Get tacho onto map screen in dash. If you use Waze maps (better) it only works on the infotainment system
    6. AUDI edit to PCM. Doesn't work can create massive head aches from what I have read
    7. Hardwire dashcam into roof console. Get a professional Install done I did everything is hidden
    8. Qi charge pad conversion for centre console

    If you are wanting more performance give a call or go see Carbon Autohaus

      Sadly this doesn’t work on the newer models.

        I'm keen to know how you go with this - would love to have one that fits my half-modern (201 samsung galaxy s9+

        Would also love to retrofit ventilated seats if/when practical.

          Mirrors would be wrapped in aluminium not chrome - same as the R overseas or maybe black, too much blue at the moment.

          I don't have OBD11 so a recommendation for a tuning house who could do it would be great

          The tacho display is the rev counter along the top of the digital cockpit screen in the main dashboard - at the moment when the map is maximised in front of you it shows speed and gear only in each bottom corner. I dont need gear, I need revs.

          Bummer re Audi edit.

          So i would like recommendations on a professional who can instal the dash cam hard wire, qi wireless pad under the hvac controls and do the OBD11 coding for start/stop and the digi cockpit...

            This is my digital dashboard - tacho on left and speed on right. Is this what you're after?

            IIRC - my OBD11 was ~$200 delivered, with 200 credits and a 1 year professional subscription. The mods are available as single-click "Apps" (typically 10 credits each) - it's well worth the price when you consider what you may pay a workshop in labor to do just one of the mods. As a bonus, you can do fault scanning and use on all your VAG cars.

              As I mentioned above, you can’t code out the stop-start on your model (at least not yet). I can’t recall whether MY19 or 20 is the cut-off but unfortunately you’re out of luck.

                Oh, it's a new one? Sorry, my bad.
