A decent exhaust shop could make up an adaptor from that oval to the round of the tailpipe. The real issue might be how much room there is for it. How far under the car is the first silencer?

Point taken. I’m obviously too short!

does the 1cm make that much difference?

Even VCDS cant do it!

I was joking. I think they have to be coded by dealer for each seat.

I think it is standard feature when set to the extreme of range. Mine doesn’t do it but my memory doesn’t work. Module is under the seat. I’d happily swap Modules with you…mine doesn’t work at all!

This would be the only major retrofit that I am looking at doing eventually. @ApertureS is no longer on the forums it seems, he would have certainly been able to advise. @retro Cost wise is about £700 inc VAT for someone to do it (Yorkshire retrofits, Vagtec. As far as I am aware, you need a new control module with 2 inputs, buzzer, sensors, holders and some coding. This looks to be the right parts, but I cant be sure, and you would need to check part numbers etc with someone with existing front sensors: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007944100982.html The camera is a nice easy fit once you have run the cables. Plenty of info on here for installing it. Edit: just realised this topic is from 2025 not 2026! Doh

The charger is self adhesive. It’s got strong 3M pad on the back. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DL6ZBC3F The side panel comes off with one screw under a cap and for the routing of the cable I just had to notch out the panel under the cigarette lighter a little bit with a dremmel. It could be hardwired with a 12v to usb C converter but I wanted to make it work with minimal changes as I wasn’t sure it would work.

It’s a mandatory requirement in mainland Europe. So I’m guessing it’s not bothered to be supplied in territories where it isn’t.

Yes very sturdy. And it’s far a bough forward not to be in the way of passenger knees. iPhone 12 With a MagSafe compatible case. I haven’t been on a long journey with it yet but I’m hoping being out in the open it shouldn’t heat up too much. And I’ve always got the wire in armrest to fall back on if needed.

Do the MIB3 have the internal jukebox? On my MIB2 I can copy songs to the internal hard drive. If they have the correct ID3 tags on the files then it sorta them into albums and playlists and carries on playing from where you left off. Not ideal if you have a huge music collection but great for a few CDs worth.

Yeah i can understand that. I used to plug phone in then leave it on passenger seat so I didn’t generally forget it. I wanted something quick and easy but mostly out of sight as I don’t like phone mounts like that as I get distracted by the phone. Where mine is on the side of the tunnel it’s easy to get to but sufficiently away from me so as to not be distracting.

Yes. They are borderline too big but just about closes. Have to press on the top of the plug slightly to close the rear ashtray. I might end up changing them for surface mount sockets, but they work for now! I added a MagSafe wireless charger from the front socket. Works really well.

mine is now!

I got these ones and DAB now working! https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BS3TPC6B Not quite as slimline as the others but they JUST fit under the front sliding cover and ashtray can close.

Arrow pointing up. Dirt on the top side so assume airflow is downwards towards motor Just changed filter for new one. Re-calibrated and rescanned for codes. Still the same issue. Definitely improved on where it was when I started looking at it and good enough for now!

I rarely do too, but it annoyed me that it wasnt working! New adaptors arriving today to try a different one. Probably doesnt help that I have 2 of these installed!

Yes this is for warning triangle. Mine is aftermarket but it fits in the OEM slot.

While i was lookin at some wiring to sort out the DAB issue, I took a look in the pollen filter area. recirc flap moves perfectly as far as I can see. Something I did notice however is that the pollen filter is upside down. Obsiously with dirt on one side I didn't flip it over. Could this interrupt the airflow enough to cause issues with the flaps?! Its a standard filter so have ordered a Bosch Charcoal one from ECP and will fit it this afternoon and give it another go.

Keep an eye on this @Danoid I’ve worked out today that these usb adaptors (or possibly the cables) are the source of my DAB interference meaning the radio drops out when charging phone. I’ve used a different charger and wire with no issue.

Solved it! As someone had said previously cheap usb adapters can interfere with the dab signal. I thought I had tested all variations fiddling about with the radio tonight I thought I would give the OEM radio another go and scan for issues. Lo and behold it started working. I then plugged my phone in to charge while I scanned for errors and it stopped working. unplugged the phone and it worked again. Tried another usb adaptor and no issue. So now the hunt for an alternative low profile usb adaptor that doesn’t interfere with the signal!

Yes. But I just meant I was comparing cost vs benefit. I can live without the seat memory function and spend the £250 it would cost to fix it on something else for now. And then get to it when other priorities have been completed.

That’s a great improvement. I love the nightbreakers. I used to have them in my golf many moons ago.

For completeness I’ve undone the coding to reinstate the lumbar support as it didn’t gain anything. Now I know how the reverse mirror adjustment works, that works well now in the current condition too. One for the long list when funds allow

Right I went for a drive this afternoon so increased them temp a couple of degrees every couple of minutes. Cycled through ice cold up to toasting hot nicely. The horrible creaking sound on startup has gone so I’m guessing that’s the flap not stuck anymore. The basis settings trouble codes are still there. I ran an adaptation from carscanner and it cycled through all the settings. Trouble codes still there. Recirc button definitely changes airflow sound and volume so I’m confident that works as it should. There’s no noticeable sound or airflow difference changing from face to feet. And closing all the top vents doesn’t seem to increase the airflow to feet either. But it’s about 70:30 face to feet and I’m comfortable with that. So I’m going to leave it as is for now and maybe look at changing the actuator at some point for the main diverter. Will have a look at the manual and see how involved the task is. Thanks for the help @Danoid
