@golfdave i think Saborway might be the VW supplier for the original parts themselves. Either the vendor themselves have a AliExpress-store, or the vendor deals only in parts from that supplier.
Hey Dave. Just curious: which mods have you performed to the car? I’m thinking about adding the lane assist feature where the mirrors light up if someone is in the other lane and hard to see. And perhaps changing my rear view mirror for the one that’s edgeless.
Hi. I have a E-Golf MK7 that I retrofitted the cable harness from the cigarette outlet and onwards to add new dual USB C-ports in my car. The install itself went really well, except that I can’t find a trim piece that fits my cars ventilation duct in the middle so I can mount the USB module...

Hi all. I tried to do this mod on my E-golf and figured it would be a easy job. I installed everything correctly and found a wiring harness that fits the usb module without any extra hassle.
For reference it can be found here: USB wiring harness USB Type-c charger wiring harness 12V break-free...

Hi everyone.
I have a MIB 2.5 unit that was retrofitted to my MK7. Coding and adaptations went fine and everything worked until I decided to update the unit on my own. I managed to corrupt the RCC and the flash partition and I sent my unit to the UK for recovery.
