Thread: ctheodores build thread (pretty pic heavy)

  1. 05-11-2012 12:07 AM #1
    So I've decided to start a build thread since everyone that is is doing it.

    Traded in my 2002 Passat B5.5 1.8T for a 2012 Jetta S 2.0 (silver)

    Pic on the day I got it




    Put on some tint. 15% fronts 5% rears.





    Added some blue DRL's (recently changed to super white) and 8000K HID kit













    Added my Pioneer D3 with navigation, Kicker CVX 2 12" subwoofers, 4 rockford fosgate speakers and a 4 channel 500 watt rockford fosgate amp for the components and a 1000 watt soundstream amp for the sub's.





    Added a lip spoiler and some 19x8 ET 45 rims on 235/35/19 Nexen 3000 tires





    Somne other various tweaks and additions I have done so far

    VAG-COM:
    windows up/down with remote
    convenience 5 click turn signal
    coming home
    MPG/Miles to empty on MFW


    I plan on going with ST coils or a full air setup (yet to be determined), resonator delete with flowmaster muffler and single exhaust tip, fog light kit , tinted tails, some spacers, another 1000 watt amp for the subs, a car audio battery, rear GLI bumper, interior LED lights, shaving the trunk, footwell light mod, fender rolling, complete front/rear seat swap and maybe some dinoc wrapped door trim, and swapping the 235 tires out for some 215's


    Comments or suggestions are always welcome!

    When you say you did the "coming home" VagCom mod, what do you mean? I've seen a lot of people saying they can't set it up bc they don't have auto-on lights.

    I actually havent tried that feature yet but my buddy said it was activated. I was told you must tap your high beams before you get out and the euroswitch must be installed. Never got to trying it out but I will see if it works tomorrow

    seriously, you had to re-quote your whole original post just to say that?

    ditch the blue drl's and chrome wheels and lower your suv.

    My apologies, I did that from my Iphone. If you read above the two original posts I already did ditch the blue DRL's. The chrome is eventually getting powder coated and lower to come all which were MENTIONED ABOVE.

    Anything else?

    Tap them so the high beam would be on if you turned your lights on or just tap it like you would if you were flashing the high beam? I just really want the coming home feature so I'm trying to see if anyone has actually gotten it to work.

    from what I was told auto lights is needed for just the leaving home feature. You tap your high beams like you are going to flash someone. I have HID bulbs so I am not sure if this makes a difference yet but I am almost positive you need the euroswitch with the "home" position for them to work

    Heres what I was told to do :

    1. Activate feature with Vag-Com
    2.. Drive car with lights on, park, turn light off, turn car off.
    3.. Flash high beams.
    4.. Open door - headlights and tall lights turn on
    5.. Close door - lights turn off in the number of seconds you set coming home.
