Official MKIII DIY and Helpfull Hint Thread

[polofreaks]

Since the forum changes, there are MANY things lost..and MANY things we just cant find.... I thought it would be a good idea to make one "Official Thread" correctly formatted..Credit where its due..and helpful with NO arguing and nonsense. Please follow the format I thought would be best and keep all discussion in the DIY threads rather than here. This thread is for links to DIY's only. Please feel free to add any DIY's or helpful hint LINKS here and this way when someone needs a DIY. . . We can direct them here or to the actual post in this thread......

easy to follow format example below.....

NOTE:: Image is taken from persons ACTUAL thread and the persons ACTUAL host so we know if the pics are still working!

Can't sticky this thread guys. It's the rules. I didn't make the rules, just try to enforce them.

The first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club.
The second rule of Fight Club is: you do NOT talk about Fight Club.
The third rule is: you do not sticky the most inspirational thread on Vortex.

How to put a stock 98+/MkIV non-monsoon radio in your Mk3

VW Part# 000-979-133-B (Only need one pigtail with the clip on the end)~$3

Procedure:
-First, pull out your stock radio and unclip everything.
-Next, locate the black wire harness. Take the yellow pigtail with clip and stick the clip in pin#5.
Connector should look like this:
-----------------------
I 1 I 3 I 5 I 7 I
==----------------------
I 2 I 4 I 6 I 8 I
-----------------------
-Next, take the tap-in connector and connect it to the big red wire with grey stripe (out of pin#7 I believe). Be careful not to damage the wire too much.
-Now test connect your new head unit and you're good to go!

Programming Keyless Entry Remotes

Originally posted by golfSPORT95


1. Put your spare key into the ignition and put it onto the ON position, DONT start the car

2. Close your door. In the drivers side, turn the key to the left (unlock
position) and hold it.

3. It will beep 3 times. Let go to the key so it sits in the lock.

4. With each of your new remotes, separately, press the unlock button, each
button will cause a "HONK"

5. Turn the key to the left again until it beeps.

6. PROGRAMMED



And

Credit goes to Pfeil for this one!

Btw...you need 2 keys for it.

1) put one key in the ignition and turn it to the on position

2) close the driver door

3) put the other key in the door and hold it in the unlock position until you hear 3 short beeps. then let go and leave the key in the door.

4) press the unlock button on the remote. the car will beep.

5) hold the door key in the open position again until it beeps three times.

6) you're done!

thanks for the explanation. I know on one of the earlier pages there was something about it being against the rules to sticky this thread, but I never knew why.

The first option is pretty much impossible. The second one has been covered, and it's ridiculously hard.

Soooooo why doesn't a moderator just create a new thread and post all the links polofreaks posted and just point credit at him? problem solved and we get a nice thread that can be stickied.

This thread is pointed to IN the FAQ. Additionally, Travis and I are working on making those links in the FAQ functional again. It'll just take time. Somewhere during the forum switch really messed them up.
