3 Usb's Working

[carlg]

I have just fitted a new vw 3way splitter ,which I have changed from the 2 way .
So I now have centre console ,glove box and now the original dash socket ,which had to be disconnected to supply the 2 in the glove box and centre console.
Only thing I have found out on the splitter there is a brown in- let socket ,
This is the only one that will play my
I pod .
All 3 work with Android auto .
Big thanks to @Pauly for the parts and assistance.

You can never have enough USB's

That looks good, I need to add an extra socket with CarPlay into my comfort dash as I hate having the trailing lead from the glovebox.

How much was the splitter and did you need any other parts?

 

[Pauly]

Splitter+power plug+mounting bracket/3 fakra leads/2usb outlets = a bit over £200
You have to replace existing usb outlet and lead from radio as not compatible with double outlets so all in an expensive way of adding an extra socket

Do I have to take the headunit out to fit? I got a Skipton Car Radio adaptor/amp loom and it was an absolute cow to get the headunit back in afterwards, wouldn't want to take it out again unless in an emergency.

Yes you would, need to swap the original usb lead for a new one as pin outs are different

Ahh ok, might park this idea for a while then. Not impressed with the flakey CarPlay behaviour on the Discover headunit so could be tempted to get a Kenwood/Alpine double din and at the same time get the USB's sorted.

Does anyone have the part numbers for this? @Pauly presume you might? Where can you get them from.

 

[Pauly]

Yes I have the list of bits are you doing 2 or 3 and where are you fitting them ?

 

[craigblues]

Admittedly awaiting van to come off the build line but pretty sure it will only have the one in glove box. So think I’ll go all out and do all 3 whilst in process. Presuming not much difference in price whilst in process of doing it.

Three only worked for carl as he had standard dash (with integral usb built into dash) and added the comfort dash centre console and comfort dash upper glovebox adding two additional points to install
If you have comfort dash you will only have two available locations ?
If you have standard dash you will only have the one unless you are planning to add comfort dash parts ?

Oh fair enough, didn’t realise. Thanks Paul. I’ve got the comfort dash upgrade so presume it will be just the additional one then. 2 in total. Get one in glove box then have will have the blanker space in the comfort dash by gear stick. Which they used to do as an upgrade for about £60 apparently according to dealer but VW removed it from the upgrade sheets.
