I have a 2017 GTI sport and your comment just convinced me to do it now lol

Just got mine lol, had 2 12s in my last gti gotta do this now

@@imknells4682me too haha

Ground is not necessary

Hey, just saw your comment, anyways, you could just hook it up to the power wire going to the radio (red wire going to pin 18, there is a link in the description with the wiring diagram)I would just check to make sure it gets power when you turn the key on and that it's not powered all the time (it's been a while since I did this so I don't remember if it's powered all the time or when key is turned on).

your welcome, yeah those nuts don't come off, I used a ring connector, i just cut a notch of the ring so that i could split it just enough to go around the terminal bolt.

Thanks for the advice. I just cut the ring and everything is working now

Omg i try 2 hours ....

Ronny where do you find this?

Nathan Alexander at the VW dealership, the partnumber is 000051419B

Say Hello To The Robots you could use the same battery wire I used to wire the converter but just make sure that it's only powered when the key is on and not all the time, it's been a while since I did this so I don't remember if it had power all the time or only when the key was on on, you can also wire it to the fuse box using an add a circuit fuse adapter , just find a fuse that only has power when key is on

Thanks for the quick reply, your video is really detailed and helpful)

Hello, bad or poorly insulated RCA wires, poor or bad ground to amp or adapter, and also cheap speaker wires, are usually the main cause of engine noise coming thru speakers, I would check to make sure you have good connection to ground first then if you still have engine noise try replacing your RCA wires, then your speaker wires, if that doesn't work try a ground loop insulator.

you can use the same adapter but instead of using the signal from the rear speakers like i did you can use the signal from the wires going to the sub woofer at the trunk of the car, that sub has a plug with 4 wires (brown(L-), brown -yellow(R-), white(L+), white-yellow(R+) here is a diagram and plug wire pic I found in a vw forum www.golfmk7.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=3583&stc=1&d=1419285716 www.golfmk7.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=3584&stc=1&d=1419285731 And of course you would have to run power wires for your amp, and for the power for the inverter adapter you can just tie in to the positive and negative wires going to your amp, then just hook the RCA wires from the adapter to your amp, and also the romote wire from the adapter to the romote on your amp.

I hope this helps, I would just double check on the wires going to the stock sub Im not sure if all the mk7 year models have the same wiring.

It took me a couple tries, had to put the adapter in there just right so that the stereo would fit, but it wasn't to bad

Sterling Martin Yes, it will work with any audio.

Thank you!

Wire up a switch next to the bass adjuster, just need to run some extra wire to the switch but will work. My biggest worry was the firewall.

A fused switch of I think 20amp max would be needed but dont quote me on that but having a fuse will be safer and more well worth your time in the end since it's only power to turn on the amp and nothing to do with main power wire but also buying a smaller battery to hook up before or a battery capacitor if you dont allready have one so you save your battery as much as possible. Getting a smaller battery is better but about 300 to 400 hundred bucks and a battery capacitor is about 50 or 100 and reduces amps going stright to the battery and surging the main battery.

Gracias.

@@thebeastmedina Where did you get those 3m quick connect pieces?

Sam thanks, i had the same problem it took me a while to get it to fit, i just pushed the adapter into the hole behind the stereo and wigled it until it went in.

thebeastmedina thanks for the fast reply man! I got it a few minutes ago, had to lay upside down in the seat, but I found a hole above the stereo that I was able to fish it into. Just putting trim pieces back on now, everything is all hidden and clean. Thanks again!

Mine don’t either i have a mk6 golf

It took me a while to get it to fit too, I just tried different spots until I found a good place where it would fit, I don't remember exactly how I got it in, it's been a while,

thebeastmedina hey man I’m in the same situation I can’t get it to fit everything else worked out fine. I’ve been trying for hours to get it to fit

I’ve been trying to figure it out all day as well years later 😂

since nobody..reply..i figure out myself -scosche adapter has small wires so either is connected to a add-on connector ISo type for which you have to buy a VW iso connection-adaptor or you need to just add longer wires which i did - my scoshe adapter is now located on the side near "on-off airbag with good access -sensor were blinking because i let my battery unconnected for longer period as i was working on the car with the cables -this fast connectors with clip you find on the market with different quality - i had to change mine with new one's better quality -ground cable--make sure that the paint is clean away - contact must be on pure metal - i did it on the screw under the right back seat - with no additional wholes so, the system is working fine now and we reached to the next level SOUNDPROOFING , all my metal body parts from back side and trunck( golf 7 variant) are vibrating ---

the remote connects to the amp the low pass box transfers signal via blue wire to the amp. hope this helps if your still stuck.

its been so long since i did this I honestly don't remember!

Figured it out. You have to push the metal tabs on the left and right side to release the keys. I had to use a flat head screwdriver and really push to the point where I thought I might break something. Maybe my keys are too wide, but that’s how you do it. Thanks, good video!

Yes it would be

Dexter Williams it sounds pretty good considering I'm using a crappy amplifier, for the size of this sub/box it's pretty loud, it's not earthquake shaking loud but it puts out enough bass to over power the mids and highs the stock stereo puts out ( not sure how it would sound if it was in a trunk of a sedan.), if that makes any sense. Also no idea how it compares to the sound on a g35.

It should they have the same body, not 100% sure tho.

Ok i will check ik the weekend... that looks easy :) if i disconnect the battery for 30 minutes... i dont get any problems?

@@kvmods you will get some lights on your dash,(don't remember wich ones) but they go away after driving a few feet.

Did it? I have a Pioneer TS WX710 A laying here and i want to install it on my 2019 Polo 😁

they splice them, but do it in a clean way.. so damage is a questionable term lol. if you dont want them to be cut, then i wouldnt do this edit: this is the cleanest way that i know of to install a sub. im in the process of doing the exact process of this guy!

It. It’s the original wire and is a pretty lazy ass way to do this. Those wires are now open to the elements. Every system install should at minimum be cut and splice with weatherproof connectors or the proper way of cut and solder all connections.

or wheee can i find them in the store

nick harrington its a scosche amplifier add on adapter

i just left it inside the glove box, I don't use it much, i adjusted the volume of the bass as loud as it would go before cliping, when ever i need to lower or raise the bass I use the EQ on the stereo to udjust it

Did you ever figure out what happened? What year is your car? I'm planning on doing this tomorrow on a 2021 gti.. thanks in advance

José Guilherme Baiao Oliveira, no i did not have to cut any wires, i used those splice connectors wich dont cut the wire they just cut trough some off the wire plastic, so when you take them of the wire will still be in one piece, might not look as pretty tho.

Thanks for the quick answer. I'm from Brazil and I have a friend coming back from the USA. Would you mind sending me a link of this connector from ebay, amazon? If you do so, i will be able to ask this friend to bring me the product. The guy who have installed my amp and sub on my old car have now a lot of concerns about installing the same equipment at the mk7. I will show him your video and it might help a lot.

Thanks man. Congratulations for the channel

I got them at Autozone.

@@thebeastmedina Thanks I've got everything hooked up & the only problem I'm having is getting the loc to fit behind the CD player, how did you get it in because I've been trying everything to make it fit!

@@thebeastmedina nevermind about that, I got it in, but how do I remove the keys from CD player?

Nvrmd I got those out too

robert lamb I guess I just forgot to record it, the remote hooks up to the blue wire on the adapter 3:13 and then at the remote terminal at your amp.

How did you fir everything back into the radio spot? Im having trouble doing that...

Pablo Montero...Yes, you're absolutely correct, I stopped watching after that misinformation.

Kevin Bauman glad it was helpful, by the way there is a link to the wiring diagram in the description.

Nathan van Dalen 17:07 It's about 8 inches from the battery terminal. It has a cover on it .
