Another tutorial from moi. Done on a MK2 Octavia vRS but i think the process would be similar on a Golf
Usual disclaimer before i start:
NEITHER I NOR MK5GOLFGTI WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF YOU UNDER TAKE THE PROCESS DETAILED BELOW. YOU DO SO ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISKOk some people have been quoted in excess of £100 to do this. Personally i think that is absurd and a rip off as the whole thing takes about 15-20mins including fitting the Mic.
To fit the Mic in the OEM position i used this guide
Fiscon Microphone Install Ok these are the tools you will need:
A T20 Torx bit
A Trim Removal Tool
Ok firstly you need to remove the Trim around the headunit and remove the dash mounted storage box. Firstly open Ash Tray cover and gently pull on Dash Trim to bring forwards. Do it Gently but firmly DONT YANK.
Then using the Trim Removal tool Gently lever around the Edges until the Trim pops off
Next using the Trim Removal Tool gently lever up the Dash Storage Box. Once its free push the Hazard Light switch forwards from underneath till it pops out. Once it's done Disconnect and remove the Box
Next remove the Ash Tray by pushing it in at the recess on the right it will then pop up. Pull it out.
Next pull up on the edge of the Gear Lever Trim again gently but firmly until it pops off. Once that is done you will see 2 Torx Screws. Remove these and then remove the Ash Tray housing and disconnect the Connector that powers the ash tray light.
Dash now looks like this
Now using a T20 Torx Screw remove the 4 screws holding in your headunit and pull forwards. All you do know is disconnect the Quadlock connector and connect the Supplied Fiscon Cable (it only fits one way) and reconnect to the headunit. I then placed all the spare cable down the left hand side of the Casing for the headunit. Ensure you dont get wires tangled in the Aircon mechanism if you have Pauper Air Con like me
Quadlock Wiring
Now run the wires down the back until the connector and microphone lead connector appear in the space where the ash tray normally sits. Connect it all together then using a bit of Velcro to hold in place put the Fiscon Module in the Vast amount of space that is down there. Don't worry when putting the Ash Tray back in there is bags of room.
Next run the microphone wire up the Right hand side of the Headunit, Behind the trim across the Steering wheel, Up the A Pillar, Across the roof lining and then using the Guide linked above place into Interior light if thats where you want it. If not locate the mic wherever you wish.
Once it's all done then just refit everything in reverse and all you have left to do it using VCDS code the car to recognise the kit and intergrate it with the Headunit
