Finally got the genuine vw rear ops system talking with the rns315 headunit.
The install was not the easiest but the coding side wasn't exactly a walk in the park either, oh well not done anything electrical like this on a car. I think I'll stick to the industrial electrical systems I normally do Image

Well done 👍

Worth all the effort though as a very nice feature to have.

60mm lowering springs buddy. Had a chat with my mate who I'm helping and he recommended to replace all the shocks. Said it was pointless putting new springs and hardware on old 9 year old shocks so spent a bit more money than I anticipated, haho.

Ah, OK.
The Bilstein fronts are just shocks, no springs.
Makes sense now you tell me

Carpeted the rear plastic sections.

Wasn't overly hard, just the other side to do too.

Hey Petrev

Did it come plug and play or did you solder it on?

Hi Cgiorgi,
You have to splice to the wires (3), so Scotch Lock or solder. I used solder.
Working a treat 👍.
Seller can do version with plug in adapters at extra cost according to listing ...
