910k views, wow. We still joke about this video (and the dabs) years later. Hopefully you enjoy!!

[AlyxTF]

The video was okay, but I disliked because of the dabbing

[CatonsvilleCentralRwy]

+1 for listing vagcom as first "mod". The possibilities are endless with that thing. Plus, maintenance is so much easier.

Thanks for watching! Don't forget about IgnitionTube snapbacks, shirts, and stickers! Make sure to check out

The top vent is in case you want to have the ac venting around you and not blasting you in the face area. Also I think that is where the light sensor is if you want auto head lights, which is kind of cool to have like when you go into a tunnel or for the coming home feature.

[Crazyman]

I got my Vag com cable from the wish app for $7 and it worked absolutely fine. I added the ability for locking and unlocking windows to my Audi A4, and turned off the seat belt chime.

If you change coding of your instrument cluster onto EU via VCDS (you still have miles on the display, you can change units in MFA), you'll gest those inner high beams to work together with xenons - when you have lights turned off, you flash only the inner lights, when dipped beam is on - inner lights illuminate AND shutter in bixenon opens when you switch to high beam. ;)

The vent on top is not for de-fogging/de-frosting, it is for in-direct air flow. Some people don't like the A/C blowing right on them so you can close off the ones above the radio and still get cold air.

[Turbovanilli]

Mine would be
1.Intake
2.Dump pipe
3. Stage 2 flash tune
4. Grippy front tyres 5. Resonator delete pipe or a cat back exhaust if you have enough money left for that.

That vent is an air-diffusor. It's there to soften the force of the air blowing out of the front facing vents. Blast the air coming out of the front vests with the air-diffusor opened and closed and you'll feel the difference.

[AEvanseightyone]

"Do you know why they put a vent here?" this is so classic.

[OwndByTheF]

all I got from this was how to be a cringy mkv owner in 10 different ways

[SPIKE--]

Hi..I noticed on both GTI's, (not sure if this is for all U.S. versions) but your Tartan-Seats only had the standard headrests and not the You should invest in some of them seats too, .(if you still have these cars)...They're usually heated as well!..:)..

[Hortonhearsawhore]

getting a mk5 gti, I'm more of a go fast person, but y'all opened my eyes to doing more then just engine mods thank you👌

[reptilelvr]

I just plasti dipped the interior trim pieces black in my MKV GTI and I absolutely love it. And it's very, very easy to do.

[jpacheco]

The vent on the dash in Europe is to put your mittens on it and keep them dry and warm

[xlostangels]

Just picked up a MK5 and this video helped a ton on where to start modding.

[rippitdamax]

That vent on the front center also opens and closes the front windshield defrost ducts by the way.

[justinmcpherson]

The vent on the top of your dash was for airflow without havin it blowing in your face out the front vents... and to help increase exchange for ppl in the backseat if someone else hasn’t already answered this for ya ;)

[chamishi]

I have a mk5 with a few issues and my husband has mention if I want to get a new car of this yr. Am I crazy for not wanting to?..🤔🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️
