Want a rear view camera for your Golf or GTI?

I get a lot of mail from people looking to add a rear view camera to their Golfs and GTIs so here is all you need:

– Make sure your radio is compatible by following the Radio compatibility guide fond here 

– Follow the instruction to the DIY found here

 

You can source the parts from places like Futrell and other after market parts retailers, happy modding!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sunroof vents. Why I love them

Proof that Golf R won’t be a 2012

Here you go folks here is the proof that the Golf R won’t be a 2012 model. This is a screen shot of the VW ordering system  showing the car as a 2013 model:

Jetta GLI and Golf R delayed

 

Golf R pushed to January 2012

When searching the VW inventory system today I discovered that the Golf R now shows up as a 2013 model. By law they cant sell a 2013 model until Jan 2nd 2012. So it appears that you guys will have to wait just a tad bit longer.
