awesome stereo, i just ordered the model down from that one for my forst mod as well, how do you find it so far? worth the money?

also mate, what connectors did you need to connect it all up? is it just the pioneer adapter or do you also need the vw adapter to plug into it?

is that the sph da120 ? What phone are you using and what's it like ? Also do you have steering wheel controls do they work ?

i used both adapters, there are adapters that go from a pioneer head unit direct to the VW but my head unit was not listed as one of the compatible models, it might work but i wasn't taking the risk

yes it's the SPH DA 120 and i am using it with an iPhone 6, I have only had it for a day but i like it, it's easy to use, the touch screen works as well as the iPhone
and the sound quality is better than the standard head unit that i pulled out, i don't have a MFSW

Finally I did a little more regarding Rear LID / tailgate automatic open and close

Is the tailgate from a Touran the same weight as the tailgate from a Caddy?

If so, I'd like this mod on my Caddy

possible , but you can make linear motor stronger if you recalculate a spring size / stroke

mate i just tried to install my stereo and nothing is working. i was hoping it was going to be as simple as connecting the VW adapter to the car, and the poineer adapter to that and then plug in the stereo. However when i do that nothing happens. no power through the stereo at all. Am i missing something?

Did you disconnect the battery before messing with the wiring? If not you may have just blown the fuse for the radio. Granted is only a small chance but worth checking.

You will have two power feeds a yellow (permanent live) and a red (ignition live) the red cable will have to be connected to the fusebox via an add-a-fuse cable

Under the steering wheel
