This will be kind of detailed but it's very easy to do.
there is no need to swap the entire panel, no need to tap into wiring, no need to hack in to your car's power supply. this is purely plug and play!!!!!
**** if you break your stuff that's on you, not me or my dog Max. just you*** :laugh:
also my apologies for the cell phone pictures but my Nikon is at work.
_______________________________________________________________________________
ok stuff you will need:
- Pre-08 MK5 sunroof switch in the color of your choice. for this DIY I used anthracite.
- T-25 driver
- soft prying device, I used an interior panel tool.
_______________________________________________________________________________
1. Remove the front panel to expose 2 T-25 screws and remove them. then gently pull down and the sunroof control panel will drop down.
2. Disconnect all the little plugs. If you need pictures for this you shouldn't be doing this and I recommend you stop and call you sister to do the job for you..
3. Remove the sunroof switch from the MK5 panel and unplug the little red and black wires from their harness. Then remove the sunroof switch from the mk6 panel.
3.1 the sunroof switch comes up through the panel not down so push back on the tabs and push the switch through, do this one at a time. It is the exact same method for both panels.
3.2 this is the female side of the harness for the red and black wires, this is a little tricky to get out but not hard.
4. Slide the MK5 sunroof switch down into the MK6 panel (make sure the switch is facing toward the front of the car so the knob is facing correctly)
4.5 Make sure the 3 retaining clips for the sunroof switch "click" into place.
5. Plug in the red and black LED power harness into your mk6 panel...
that's right ladies and gents, your MK6 panel is already pre-wired with the exact female harness to accept this LED power harness.
5.5 showing the difference between the switches. the mk5 is the slender looking one and the mk6 is round.
6. Reinstall all of the plugs and place the panel back into it's location
6.1
just comparing the switches again.
7. test your hard work... (fingers crossed)
it works and it's plug and play
8. re-secure the panel by installing the 2 T-25 screws and snapping the front cover back into place.
