    Power into the cab

    The route from starter battery area to under seat is not difficult if you are happy to remove seats, bases and cab floor. You’ll need to do that anyway even if you go under the van because you’ll still have to bring the cables in and connect stuff up. It also gives you chance to sound deaden the...

    Power into the cab

    2023 DSG T6.1 I’ve looked at ways of running cables from the battery to the front seats area and then to the offside wing area (camper conversion) The back part is easy to get behind the panels, but the sites I’ve seen show cables through the engine bulkhead, difficult and awkward route. Has...

    Solar panels UNDER roof rack!?

    Alongside the panel, through the poptop outside the canvas, and then into the back of the van. Along the roof beam and down the B pillar inside if I remember right. I had to take the plugs off to get them through the pop-top. Rubber grommets going through each panel. The housing for the...

    Hey there. I am looking for a way to add additional USB socket that would: be used to power two wireless chargers 15W be on only when ignition is on. be hidden somewhere behind all the plastics - I found a way to route the cable out and to the chargers on the passenger side, not yet started on...

    T6 Aftermarket Digital Instrument Cluster

    Most of the time I see the ghost flashes I have to say. And if I'm in one of those.. in a hurry pressed everything too fast and got to do it again, I always see it. Plus, you have the coil light indicating whether you have failed or succeeded after keying back. So ghost visibility is an absolute...

    [Guide] T6.1 MFSW Steering Wheel Upgrade

    So I started as well equipping my MJ23 T6.1 with a HOD steering wheel. The steering wheel I recently purchased at a good price is 3G0419089 DA (Passat B8 Facelift 2019, requires a 5-pin wiring harness for the airbag). Now, there are these wiring harnesses—I had suspected 5G0971584J or...

    Renogy inverter to battery cables

    I'm planning to route the cables under the rubber foam matting just where it meets the plywood floor as it gets thinner here and it simply flaps back quite easily. There's enough space to route the cables and no worries about heat issues really. I would not bother going under the van outside...

    Renogy inverter to battery cables

    ...my new 1000w renogy inverter under my single passenger seat. I'm going to have my own cable made up, my question is, I'm concerned about cable route between the 2 seats, how have you guys done this? Have you gone straight under cab matting(I'm concerned about heat with this option), or, have...

    Rear Speaker Cable Route

    Do I need to avoid running speaker cable near power cables? I seem to remember getting alternator whine back in the day when I fitted amps, etc. To cars. But I can't remember what caused it.

    T6 Aftermarket Digital Instrument Cluster

    I dropped mine down to the panel to the left of the steering column. you can then easily grab them though the steering column adjustment hole, then poke em back when your done.

    T6 Aftermarket Digital Instrument Cluster

    Good news, removed the cluster. Slackened some screws a bit and the corner discolouration is gone. Switched on ignition and then pressed the panel into place and saw it come back a bit. So I at least now know something behind the cluster is mostly causing it. Will cut more plastic away. Just...

    Roof Light Bar Recommendations?

    If you have barn doors then a popular route to the roof is the tailgate hinge cutout on the body, which will be filled with a gasket. It's probably a long route for your use case and you'd probably need to run cable forward along roof rails or similar. On the plus side you might find that...

    12v to 24v step up split charge relay

    Yeah all good, and just go with the Victron recommended sizing for fuses, so 60a on the engine side and 30a on the power bank side. The only real downsides to going bigger with wiring is cost and trying to route a bigger cable through spaces.

    Electrical wiring diagram - what have I missed / done wrong?

    It wouldn’t take much. Up the size of the positive cable from under the seat to the back of the van to 16mm2 and have a point accessible in the rear for a negative cable. The larger cable will help reduce any voltage drop and increase capacity so the solar controller could be put in the rear of...

    Understanding portable solar panels

    Hi, I’m trying to understand if this portable solar panel is as simple as connecting it together as shown by the diagram, which then can run my 12v fridge and lights off grid? So basically, I connect the converter to the panel. Then the converter directly to the leisure battery via the...
