Which MK8 parts work on a MK7?!

We put our MK8 Golf GTI beside our MK7 GTI, take parts off of both of them, and see which parts are easily interchangeable! We test steering wheels, seats, subwoofers, undercarriage aero, and much more!

Every function of MK8 steering wheel works on MK7 (you need to have ACC).
In order to use heated steerine wheel you need to replace slip ring to 5Q0953549D, which is MK7 part.

Gateway firmware upgrade may be required on older MK7s.

This channel and it's content is atrociously underrated, keep it up guys :)

I'm still a vw /audi owner but I haven't modded any of my cars for some time, thanks for the reminder of my good old days. Now every time I look at my daughters MK7 golf I'm going to want to swap something. Keep up the awesome work.

7:55 MK7 non GTI actually was delivered with heated steering wheel! If you manage that clock spring it can work maybe?

[crxgator]

The cruise control probably doesn’t work because the buttons are specific to ACC. So, in theory if your MK7 had ACC, the CC might have worked. Good video none-the-less

[jamesk]

the mk8 seat in your mk7 looks good, with the matching red. just get the wiring situated and I think thag would be a great upgrade

[bosoares]

That was a lot of work just to do the community a favor. We appreciate that.

That was huge fun to watch.

I had to laugh about the so called recall. They literally just take the cover off, throw it away as no replacement is available and will contact you once they have a solution. No one knows when that will be.

the MK& and the MK8 are looking so good together 🔥🔥

I subscribe to Shop DAP because i have a mk7, but i am really here because Paul gives Steve Buscemi vibes and that, is priceless

19:19 is the best moment

Thank you for being informative yet so entertaining !

A better replacement steering wheel to get rid of the capacitive/haptic buttons might be a current Audi/SEAT/Skoda wheel.

Holy cow so many comments. I will tell you when you were comparing sound systems. The mk8 has a setting, I can’t remember where, that will turn the Bluetooth volume up. So if you were using your phone or other media device. In my wife’s mk8 I was disappointed in the sound until I found this feature and it is definitely way more amazing than the way it came from the factory. Hope you see this and that it helps. Love the channel!!

the mk8 seat looks really good in the red/black mk7

I sold my GTI for a new BRZ but still come here for the awesome content. Wish you were BRZ people because a lt of that content is about cat backs or how to squeeze 9.5" wheels under them.

I need some nerd to do a video like this showing what MK 8 GTI parts will fit on a MK 7 Alltrack.

[PotatoeMasher]

I figure if I got a Mk8 one of the first mods I’d do would definitely be one of those nice carbon steering wheels with conventional buttons. They’re super nice anyway and I do like my buttons so it would be a big improvement.

[johnpittman]

Never asked but definitely curious! Glad to see I can put mk8 seats in my alltrack one day!

[Enzman]

Interesting about the sound system! I would be curious to see what the differences in the actual subwoofer driver are.
