From a Scirocco, several people on here have them already & a nice mod, need to also get a cover for the tray on top of dash to install it into.

The wiring is the bit I need the help with!
All the ones I have seen for sale are just the unit without any wiring/plugs, as I bought this one. No idea if the wiring can be used from a Scirocco too?
Sorry I can’t help with any more info, I’m hoping someone off here can help me!!!

Today I managed to enable the TPMS on my Caddy.. took me a good while to figure it out... For some reason "65 - Tyre pressure" was already in the installation list... And I guess it was causing trouble with 4C which is the one that actually needed to be added. Anyways, I have now the option on my dash menu and no error codes at all. However, I read that it takes about an hour of driving for it to calibrate. What should I expect after that hour? Will I get a message or anything? Do I need to reset it again? How can I tell it's actually working (without deflating a tyre if possible)?

Sounds decent fella!
Don’t forget to start a build to show us what you’re going to do with it. The mods done so far look tasteful

I really pushed my budget to buy it, so there won't be any modifying going on anytime soon!
That said I've already gone down the rabbit hole so who knows.. your interior has inspired me!
