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.
What if you just have normal cruise control? Does the button still work?
Can you have the heated steering wheel from an MK8 in a MK7.5 without heated seats? I knew you could change the slip ring because the MK7 already had heated steering wheel in normal trims, meaning you would lose the GTI steering wheel but could use it with a MK7 heated non GTI steering wheel, but I don't know if you can have heated steering wheel without the heated seats though
I installed, only the horn doesn’t work, how come?
Hey there how can i update my gateway firmware i installed on my mk7 gli but its giving me a epc light bit it works
This channel and it's content is atrociously underrated, keep it up guys :)
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.
Don't expect a solution with all the cost cutting VW is doing with this generation of cars. Thank you dieselgate.
the MK& and the MK8 are looking so good together 🔥🔥
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
This is probably true.
@@Deutscheautoparts You can change the coding, I have a MK8 steering wheel in my MK7
@@tf6437 Hey, you open to share your coding changes with me? looking to retrofit one into my car aswell!
@@tf6437 Does your MK7 have ACC? Would love a MK8 wheel working with standard cruise.
@@vanishingpoint808 no, however theres no difference between acc and standard cruise mk8 wheels, its a just a matter of changing the coding in the steering wheel.
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
Thought so too. They look amazing
That was a lot of work just to do the community a favor. We appreciate that.
This video helps me feel better about holding off on the Mk8 for a while..
Never asked but definitely curious! Glad to see I can put mk8 seats in my alltrack one day!
19:19 is the best moment
Thank you for being informative yet so entertaining !
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.
I can't wait until my kids start driving purely so I can do things like this and have something different to play with 😅
Awesome video, love these cross-gen Lego comparisons. More please!
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
Really dig that white tool box
7:55 MK7 non GTI actually was delivered with heated steering wheel! If you manage that clock spring it can work maybe?
the mk8 seat looks really good in the red/black mk7
Never knew my GTI has a sub in the back, checked it out since I’ve never paid attention to it and found out it wasn’t even plugged in, owned the car for two years now and never knew I was missing out on more bass
Interesting about the sound system! I would be curious to see what the differences in the actual subwoofer driver are.
A better replacement steering wheel to get rid of the capacitive/haptic buttons might be a current Audi/SEAT/Skoda wheel.
I'm looking for one for my 22 GLI
The mk8 base model has physical buttons
@@billasohyeah Cool. In the United States we only get haptics since they only import GTI & R.
@@KXKKX yeah I know. But maybe DAP can import the button!? I don't know if that's a thing 😅
Great video as always! But please give the mk7 steeringwheel a detail session. Never seen one so shiny ever before🤣🤣🤣
Awesome video Paul, thanks a bunch.
that work shirt is pretty slick
First of all love you content! maybe a tip if you swap seats again? Or have to take them out only if it's a four door. Take them out trough the back you don't rip or scratch your steering wheel might help. Maybe a tip idk keep up the good work guys 🥳
“Maybe you like to put on make-up. I am not here to judge.” 😂😂😂
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.
Still waiting to see what MK8 parts will fit on my MK4
The steering wheel with all functions can be 100% integrated into the Golf 7. Also the seats and much more. That's why we have coders and retrofitters
I had to pause after Nathan's "You mad?" during the stereo comparison. 🤣
Hello, I think I read on some forums it's necessary to enter 19-Gateway and activate the cruise control after you fit the Mk8 steering wheel and will work
The video I didn't know I needed 👐👏
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!!
Man, I got my fingers crossed so hard that they’re on the verge of breaking, for the hopes that a DAP shop opens down here in my area DFW, Tx
🤞🏼😬🤞🏼
I would kill to have such an awesome VAG specialty shop within driving distance to take my cars 😍😩
I got random one for you. As far as I can tell the rear springs on the mk8 is the same as the mk7 clubsport S rear springs (I believe the front clubsport s springs are the same as the mk7 golf r). It would be great if you ever find yourself bored or curious to swap mk8 to the mk7 rear to see if it’ll stiffen the rear without raising it any (like rear golf r springs would do). You know, for all us weirdos who wanna keep stock height with like bilsteins B6s
As ppl probably already know you can swap intakes and suspension…. My AEM intake bolted up to my MK8 but the turbo inlet pipe is probably different…. And my coilovers and sway bar links also did too….
Great video 👌
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.
No entertainment like your video's 💯
Nice video, just one small remark. To remove the Mk8 steering you should use the other 2 holes, much more easier as it applies directly on the iron that lock the airbag. At minute 6:15 you can see it perfectly.
Great vid Paul! You should make a little retrofit kit for the rear control arm aero with the nutserts/hardware so I can put those on my Mk7.5R.
you want it... you got it! www.shopdap.com/rear-control-arm-aero-kit-for-mk7.html
@@Deutscheautoparts Whelp that was fast! Ordering along with some oil change/brake fluid stuff, thanks doods!
@@MattSump Thanks for the support. We appreciate it very much!
DUDE, 48 inch wide mk8 clubsportexhaust on my mk7.5 alltrack is giving me some ideas! 🤣🤣🤣🍻
you should swap all the parts over to the other cars, and therefore the cars would just be in different places after you are done.... great youtube video!
proper job ! thanks a lot
What I want to know is how many videos can you install more Charles into? Great video as always.
Great info. Curious... after this much time now owning the 8... pros? Cons? Would you buy it again???
danké ✌️🍸
This is the content I subscribe for! Moooaaar
great video, hey does it look like the Volkswagen embossed outer B-Pillar covers would fit? Mine are crazy scratched up and need replaced anyway, might as well get the fancy ones if I can. thanks for all the content!
"If you wanna start a fire in your MK7, you're out of luck." 😆
LARPING! LMAO! Good one. I want the base model plaid seats....when they hit the used market!
should've probably tried the mk7 airbag in the mk8 first, cheaper to replace if I blew off I'd assume. Also, a tip from a technician. Disconnect the battery, Turn the vehicle on, plug everything in, then reconnect the battery. Don't know how well it'd work on push buttons where theres no technical ignition, but in the past that would prevent the need to be close to the steering wheel when power is initially sent so if there is a fault and sets the airbag off, you won't be injured
Regarding the steering wheel... I believe there were mk7.5 GTIs and mk7 GLIs that did have ACC, so I'm hoping those would be directly interchangeable with the mk8.
Yep, I have an MK7.5 GTI (european) with ACC.
Amazing video Paul! Btw... What is the name of the LCD on the air vent? Looks amazing
Great video, much appreciated 👍👍👍. Can you ELI5 why the cruise functionality does not cross over? Is this something that can be reworked?
Something I've had the displeasure of finding out myself: intakes meant for the gen 3 ea888 engine don't fit on the gen 4. The turbo inlet is different and the main intake hose has breather tubes coming in from different places. I should've known since the turbo is different but oh well. If anybody wants a Revo intake kit for a gen 3 at a slight discount hit me up
What about a mk8 base model steering wheel? It has physical buttons, but would it control all the functions of the mk8 GTi?
I need some nerd to do a video like this showing what MK 8 GTI parts will fit on a MK 7 Alltrack.
You done the front seat swap but what about the rear? I wonder if they will fit?
I'm thinking of swapping out my Mk7 Gti interior for the nicer Mk8 alcantara wingbacks and rid the car of the dreaded gray tartan.
Love the video guys keep up the good work.
If you could do this for Mk7 to mk6 you’d be a blessing
Interesting change from plastic oil pan to metal.
Paul, can you show some more detail on how to change the plug out for the Fender sub?
We German waited for this Video :)
Hey, please do the same vid but with the sirocco's!
What about the dashes? Could you swap the digital Mk8 into the Mk7? That’s the one thing I wish I’d gotten the autobahn edition for and continually regret not getting that specific thing for the dash :(
Question. Is the only reason that the cruise buttons don’t work because of the touch sensitive buttons? I have a Passat 2018 and I want to swap for the facelift 2019 steering wheel. They both have normal buttons so I hope they are able to be swapped? Please help. Thanks
“Now we’re about to found about seats!” 😂
I was super curios is the new tourqe vectoring AWD system would retrofit
I fitted the new mk8 steering wheel to my arteon 2018. I now have an EPC light on my dash and my normal cruise control (not ACC) is not setting the limit. My taps are getting registered for the cruise control buts not setting the limit and the cruise control icon has an exclamation mark on its top right. Please help out 🙏🏻
Can you replace the 40th Anniversary (S) Mark 8 SE display (the smaller the one) in the SE computer (the larger one) and get all t he functions + more to work?
How does the base MK7 system with the Helix and programming compare to the Fender and the HK in the MK8?
The biggest question. Is the drive train and diff interchangeable from the 8R
Hi ! Can i in some way make the cruise control work ? I mean did you find some solution like adaptation or hardware upgrade ?
What I really want to know is, can I make an adapter and hookup 2 fender subs for extra bass
You can just use 4 of the plastic clips on the rear LCA covers. Nutserts are a damn pain to seat in the LCAs.
Can i put an is38 turbo in an 1.5 tsi bluemotion golf 7 2018?
I would be interested If the 8 Facelift steering wheel with buttons would fit in the 8 to replace the Touch buttons.
Any chance you could check if the wing piece is the same. Somehow mk8 recieved a wing replacment when the mk7 didnt.
My question is can you swap the front end and the rear end on the mk7 from the mk8
15:58 do you think this could possibly be a difference between seats as well? I think maybe sitting in the back seats would be a better comparison, since you're closer to the subwoofer
now this is what i call a video where the guy actually had to WORK for it, not those phone comparisons where they compare battery life and leave them to run some test automatically.
Someone should do this with the ve/vf commodore and brownie points if they add the g8 (American rebadge still built in aus)
I'm curious about the Autobahn seats to an s or se. I literally couldn't get an Autobahn but I really want those seats.
Should try the fenders, hood, fascia and headlights 😂😂
Hi, will the mark 8 Goolf steering wheel work on the Sciroco mark 3 since it works on the Golf 7?
Hi i dont understand very well. But the v band flange in mk7 they fit in the mk8?
Would the mk8 r rear differential fit into a mk7? ideas for the rallytrack?
so basicly i can buy a mk 8 steering wheel and put it in my mk 7 or do i need more?
I would like to install the 8 R seats on my 7 restyling.
Both seats are manual and heated.
Is it possible to swap? (p&p)
Would the mk8 golf speedo work and fit in the mk7 with the right coding?
If you get a Golf 7.5 full option and replace the seats and steering wheel for the MK8 GTI you'd get like a way nicer version of a 7.5, a 7.8 if you may. I like it more than the hideous aftermarket carbon steering wheel with leds. Even better if you get the seat to work with the airco
Next episode (please): What MK8/7 parts fit in a MK5.
Does the MK7 have ACC? If not, did you get an EPC light with the MK8 wheel?
Interested if the front aluminum subframe fits
What is that LCD screen in the vent of the mk7?
I emailed a question about a mk7 gti intake cam shaft. Is the one listed on your site actually less than $200 for a genuine VW intake can shaft?
Any way I can get my hand on the mk8 seats that you pulled out?
Suprisingly enough the ACC buttons lighy up on that steering wheel when fitted to a Mk7.Usually they are off and you have to code it out,but it is possible..I've swaped the same steeringwheel into my 2016 Passat,just needs coding..I Also Retro fitted the Steering wheel heater..There is no need for a MK8 clockspring,just need an Clockspring from a MK7 that has Steeringwheel heater and obviusly coding(its super rare btw and no GTI's or Golf Rs have it). I got a Clockspring for my passat and it worked perfectly,tho i had to do some wiring aswell. If you dont have it,it probably isnt worth the Pain to get it instaled..
Hi buddy! Do you know what codind should I do in order to make it work in Passat B8 with ACC? Thanks!
On the mk7 what’s that little screen in place of an air vent at 7:35
What about the exhaust? Are they interchangeable between the mk7.5 and the mk8?
Is that possible to retrofit on mk5? Or what parts can I use to my mk5?
