As above, does the elegance or L&K come with cat vision, anyone retro fitted it to a vRS. First winter approaching in the Octy with lot's of windy trips in the dark down to Cardiff and back so fancied having something like this in mine.

Just wondered if anyone had tried it before I set off for Maplins and get the soldering iron out

Cat Vision?

Whats that when it's about then?

Looks like the same unit as the Fbai, so a search on that should bring something up. Good plan

See the red lights....

That's Cat Vision- it provides a glow into the whole cabin to allow you to see better (apparently). Fluffmeister - I don't believe it's standard on any UK Octy - I'm not even sure if it's available on any Octy. I think on the Passat you can simply swap out the non-LED equipped unit for an LED equipped unit, but if it's not available on any Octy it's definitely a soldering job (to be proper the LEDs should only be on when the headlights are on, which would be an impressive challenge if there's no switched supply up there....)

Oh, I knew I'd read something about CatVision in an Octy....

Read this

I was a non-believe until I drove a MK5 GTi with it - it really is very good indeed. Non-intrusive illumination that you dont notice unless you're looking for something in the illuminated area.

Thats in a Fabia. As I said earlier

My Dad's done it on his Touran no problems, so should be do-able on the Octy.

yeah my A4 has it, its very good and is very subtle, only know its there if you actually look for the lights

v useful

Dont know if this is of use to anyone, but the Laguna I was driving recently had cat vision, and the unit looked the same size as the Skoda/VW ones.

Cat vision ....very useful for illuminating your hand signals at night

fitted as standard on Superbs :P

About 2 years ago VW Driver magazine ran a whole "how to do it" about this, on the MKIV golf, including what pin to wire into behind the fuse box etc. Don't know what month it was, but an email to them should give an answer of some sort!

Right then, I have some free time this week so off I go to Maplins

I will let you know how it goes

What is it?

What is it?

It's a couple of posts above it gives you X-Ray vision so you can see through womens clothes at night, WARNING - It should NEVER be switched on in Warrington on a Saturday night

That's the guide my Dad used for his Touran... it was spot on. He also ordered the W8 unit from here;

At tad cheaper than paying VW main dealer prices....
