Thanks Wayne. Me too.

Hit a slight snag with digital cluster.

My vans year is 2023. These came with tech pack, push start only. Kessy module needed for this.

2024/25 had digital cluster with keyed ignition. Hopefully the same guy i used for remote coding may have a work around.

More leg work on compatible parts on my behalf first.

Haha, the thing is i am forever reading up on stuff like this. The guy who coded my lights is looking into it as he likes to nit be defeated on projects like this.

I could go the aftermarket route, but i am either oem or nothing.

Just got the same button as a nice subtle touch.
Before I go in hamfisted and snap something. Have you any tips for fitting?

Thanks!

A few upgrades now done to the van.
Fitted and wired in the rain sensor for auto wipers.
This is proving another problem to the guy that does my coding as again requires another dataset from a caddy 5 with this feature.
The search still continues.
Some easier modifications that do not require codingImage,

Genuine vw front lower spoiler
Genuine vw rear door spoiler
Caddy badge removed and camera trim painted
Genuine vw black sliding door covers
Genuine vw 18's pretoria's
Footwell ambient lighting with dimming control from infotainment screen.

Door card entry lights are next on my list.
