ODB11 has built in apps you can use but i don’t use them as i worry about what it might change without me knowing. I just look up how to do it online and then change the relevant values but you have to be sure on what you’re doing before you change anything. I looked into the activation key and like you i decided i wasn’t paying the money. I’m not sure i’d use either. I have been buying from an online place called Cloverdale parts and they have been brilliant at helping me order the right parts. I use a russian forum called drive2 which is excellent for retrofitting stuff to the Rapid. They are really helpful but you will need a translator installed. Cheers Nath

Sorry forgot to add that light assist is basically auto lights. Mine is an SE Sport but i got it about a year old so it didn’t have all the options I would have wanted on there so I have been researching, gathering parts and installing them myself. Iv found it hard with the Rapid as not many about. I really want the false boot floor but have had to lower my spending after my wife had an accident in the other car. Id be interested to see what it is like on lowered springs. I find the ride a b too harsh as it is. Too many pot holders round here.

Hi there, the needle sweep I coded using ODB11. Iv found it quite useful on the whole but I think I will buy the RossTech VCDS cable soon as long coding is a bit hairy in ODB11. I added the bonnet insulation because it looked like there was something missing. I hoped the engine might warm a bit quicker in the winter and it might be a bit quieter but in all honesty I’d be lying if I said I had noticed any improvement. But it does look better when the bonnet is up :)

Forgot to add I also have the grill which will be installed to cover the heater hole under the bonnet which leaves the motor exposed to leaves etc.

Sounds good. I have a 2016 SE Sport. So far I have done the following if you need inspiration. Dash Cam Soft close grab handles OEM reverse camera with washer OEM Bonnet insulation Monte Carlo D Shape steering wheel Coded needle sweep Original USB ports in rear of armrest Retractable bumper cover Rubber matts and rear tunnel cover Boot mat Spare wheel kit Hooks on both sides of the boot Plastic compartments on both side of the boot First aid kit in strap above wheel arch Warning Triangle in the space below boot lip. Mudflaps Washer bottle top to rubber with built in funnel I have the OEM parts ready to add the following when I get a moment. ambient lighting under dash and rear seats Light assist / Rain wipers Speed limiter function Springs in rear brakes- not sure what improvement they will bring. Something to do with making the handbrake less likely to stick

This might help get you started I am sure I have seen similar posts about the DSG 7

Just to help anyone else. The empty bracket for the passenger side is already there in most Spacebacks. The drivers side is more tricky. The part for the driver side bracket in LHD is 6JB858023A. I think the bracket for RHD is 6JC858023A. If you wanted to add footwell lights under the rear seats: 8E0 947 113 A6PS. If you wanted to add the light to the centre console the part for that is 7P6 919 390 AKT1 or 7P6 919 390 KW2. Cheers Nath

Hi all, I need to extend the factory washer pipe in my tailgate. I think the type of pipe is the same in all the cars and appears to be corrugated. Can you buy the pipe and cut it down or is it more complicated then that? Does anyone know the part number for the pipe? Are the connectors easy to put on or are special tools needed? Iv been having trouble finding the exact stuff online. Thanks in advance of any support given. Nath

Has anyone got a spaceback or rapid with OEM footwell lights / ambient lighting? If so would you possibly do me a favour and take a photo of where the lights are as i can’t see any holes on mine where they would be mounted. Thanks in advance of any help.
