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.

    Installing a new cd/radio/headunit

    Hoping someone might be able to help. I'm installing a new cd/radio/headunit into my 2002 T4 and I need to know the "illumination" wire that lights up the dash lights of a night please?

    No idea but a simple test with a multimeter might do it alternating between lights on and off..

        If you’re after wire which you can tap into? The easiest would be from the headlights switch, just remove it and you can piggyback from the wire there.
