Stan The Man's T6.1 Ascot Grey build

Ok so the above idea is scrapped and had to go and try different things and managed to get it working today but at a cost of messing up my light sign recognition and lane assist which I’m not 100% sure how that happened as it seems my basic settings got somehow erased.

So trip to vw required but not for another week as the technician in charge of these calibrations is away so won’t know if that was caused by new slipring or me directly

I’ll know in 2 weeks time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’d give my right arm for a heated steering wheel. I seem to have permanent rigor mortis in both hands.
 
If you already have footwell lights it’s all plug and play the kit will come with all the wiring/adapters needed to connect -just need to run it and plug in . What’s sort of colour combos would people go for the most I wonder white/white, red/white, blue/white, green/white, purple/white as these colours are available to chose and of course both leds can be any colour

For pocket lights you’ll need to run them out the door into cabin to connect to my footwell light loom.
 
Definitely have a set of these. White/white i would choose. I'd say that colour would be most popular if I had to guess.

Hi all,

Just got myself Ascot Grey 2023 T6.1 150bhp DSG Highline last week and absolutely love it!
Had a mk4 150bhp highline Caddy previously and unfortunately it was getting too small with work requirements as I am self employed handy man here in Ireland.
Took about 3 months to get her built and delivered and I tried to squeeze as much into her as possible from factory to save myself hassle retrofitting big stuff later .
Shes got:
-ACC
-sign recognition, HBA, blind spot assist, PDC front ands rear
-power latching tailgate and power latching L and R sliding doors with windows
-roof rail prep
-240V socket, drivers seat electric lumbar, heated seats
-virtual cockpit
-footwell lights and load area step illumination
-LED headlights and tails
-large NAV
-load area rubber floor and full side panels
-direct TPMS
-carpet in front

+ few more bits :D

Future plans are:
-webasto remote controlled parking heater (not available to order in Ireland ):cry:
-climatronic conversion from ugly AC panel
-17 or 18" wheels
-wireless charger
-potentially remap to make her bit stronger
-extra led lighting all over the place

Currently managed to install AUDI dashcam, extra lights in tailgate and roof, mirror puddle lights, carpet the load area.
Now need to figure out how to post pics:)
Looking good just in the middle of converting my ascot grey t6.1...just put my pics on my post...Best colour
 
Looks boss, best colour just posted our conversation on my page...we have pretty much the same van, .nearing the end of our conversation soon...love the little extras an upgrades you have done

Hi.How do you enable heated steering wheel? For MQB Cars like Passat 12v and Ground are always connected only PCB on slipring with signal form BCM turn on Heating .Could you send with which pins do you have connected thi wires ?
 
Finally managed to get couple of serious upgrades in, we have been waiting for various parts to arrive from over Europe. For some reason any bolts,nuts washers clamps cannot be got here in Ireland from VW UK due to some new law about metals etc no idea ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. So had to source bits from Germany instead.
For me it’s a huge upgrades as these options were not possible to order for me from factory here in Ireland and they are Climatronic conversion and Webasto parking heater installation with remote and additional roof panel .

All working great just now need to get my fancy black/brushed alu trims installed to finnish it all nicely.

Hello. Do you have a OEM part number for Webasto ceiling remote controls? I want to upgrade my Webasto unit...
 
The roof console panel?
I used one from Crafter as couldn’t find one from T6.1

7C0907049F

I would say this would be T6.1 part number:

7LA907049D

Mine only has settings button and Webasto no climatronic controls

Climatronic unit you use also from crafter?
 
wire with adapter for key detection from ignition as mine is dsg so without it I kept getting dings on dash and error message.

Hi Stan what adaptor did you use to get the error message to go away when you fitted the steering wheel?
