Installing additional two USB ports for device charging in Volkswagen #GolfMK7. 5V power outlets for the passengers in rear seats will help to keep devices like phones and tablets charged at all time. To upgrade your original rear air vent panel you will need to disassemble few elements in your cars dashboard and center console.
ℹ️ When working with car interior parts, it's a good idea to use prying tools made from plastic instead of metal ones. Thanks to that you will less likely damage your cars interior when doing this #retrofit.
1. Remove HVAC control trim.
2. Remove two T20 torx screws.
3. Remove center console side trims.
4. Undo gear stick trim.
5. Lift front cubby (two clips) and disconnect AUX and USB ports.
6. Remove two T20 torx screw.
7. Lift the center console cubby with center console buttons. Disconnect wiring from parking assist buttons, Start/Stop button, electronic parking brake, 12V power outlet.
8. Pull the rear air vent panel.
9. Connect wiring to the 12V power outlet connector.
10. Guide the cable under the armrest.
11. Connect the cable to the new rear air vent panel.
12. Assemble parts back together.
Buy it on AliExpress

ℹ️ These two USB ports are not connected to the infotainment system. You can not use them for media playback on your Composition or Discover system.
💡 Disconnecting buttons and control can store fault codes in brakes module, infotainment module, cruise control module.
⚠️ This modification can void your warranty.
⚠️ Short circuit can damage electrical systems in your car or even cause fire!

I really liked this idea until I saw your front unit had a USB socket but my 2014 doesn't, it has connectors and leads for Apple devices I believe so don't know if that makes a difference. Then when I saw how much more work was involved pulling out panels I decided my daughter can carry on using the simpler twin USB adapter that plugs in the cigarette lighter socket. Well made video though for those who still want to do it. I'm definitely interested in the stop/start device harness though after seeing your video on it as I always switch that off every start up.

Blood sacrifice is requirement when working on any car, VW's aren't exempt. If I don't bleed I'll probably have to repeat whatever I did because it won't work properly... unless blood is shed. I'm very disappointed that VW didn't install 2 USB ports in the center column one for phone and one for iPod would that have been too much to ask. I like using iPod for music but because I do I can't have my phone "wired" to infotainment system too which really sucks. Installing those USB ports (for charging) in the center console in back isn't worth it. Just get a cigarette lighter to USB adapter there's 2 cigarette lighter sockets and a million different choices for USB adapters. I understand wanting to keep it stock looking...but for this much work it's just not worthwhile.

I really appreciate this video. I received mine in June 2021, but felt intimated and kept putting it off till today, June 2022! I too made blood sacrifice. I punctured my index finger and hurt my middle finger while removing the long ABS trim on the left. Didn't even notice till I saw blood on the prying tool! 😆 Hardest part was to move the gear stick back and forth, and until I could do this, the centre console couldn't be removed easily. Thankfully all the plugs worked, and the replacement plastic part fit without modification. It is really very well made. Interesting the radio showed "VW Golf MK7 (5G) retro fitting double USB char..." so it knows about it through cable from the cigarette lighter power plug. Had to clear some codes as you mentioned. When I posed the question a year ago, that was before I bought an OBD2 dongle. I've learnt so much! Thanks again.

@mrfixpl
@mrfixpl 3 года назад
Some systems will come on of you just open/close the door or try to shift DSG from P. Even if the ignition is off. For example infotainment unit boots up as soon as the drivers door is opened. Screen comes up with ignition but the system has already started and if the AUX/USB port is disconnected it will detect that. Same for the parking brake button.
@mrfixpl
@mrfixpl 3 года назад
...and you want to check if the charger works before putting everything back together, so most likely you will turn the ignition half way though the installation.

To be honest I'm not sure if there's any difference between LHD and RHD cars regarding this element. BUT I've seen some AliExpress feedback that someone bought this part and had a completely different one originally installed in the car (air duct position, arm rest trim). Also there are different interior trim colors so you also need to take a looks at that.

One that I bought was from "Shop5247112 Store" which was unavailable at the moment when I was making this tutorial. I saw those reports and there seems to be two types of the rear vent element. Not sure why VW make two different versions and not sure what's the rule over here (is it MK7 vs MK7.5; EU vs USA; electronic parking brake vs hand brake...). Also keep in mind that MK7 interior was available in 2 or 3 colors.
