Raising an old thread but spent some time on researching fitments so thought it might help . All mk7 appropriately sized parts fit as well as A3 8v parts. I recently bought an A3 35tfsi with 19" wheels. Bought on ebay a spare wheel 18" from a vw mk7 gti 2018 for £75, a jack set from vw mk7 for £45, a spare wheel well liner from an A3 8v for £35 and plastic bolt for £7.50. Could have got a spare wheel for less but of indeterminate age. Very pleased with the result and price😬

Thanks for the additional info on roof route from both of you. I was hoping to keep the wiring as near original as possible so the floor route was my aim. Had forgotten the curtain airbag!!

Seen a couple of videos of rear hatch trim removal and think your comment about fingers seems realistic. My concern about the roof lining route which most aftermarket fitters seem to use is the possibility of rattles at a later date. Have you noticed any problems Anton?

Thanks for the really helpful replies. I have an audi guide for the 8y mmi connections that identify plugs and which pins to add so hopefully that will work. Coding very useful. Had vcds in the past but did not bother to replace after using the vin allocation on family cars but can do the same with obd11. Good thought to look at panel parts on ebay to see where clips go. Have some spare clips from a previous vw golf which seem to be the same as audi. Just got to find the time to take the plunge. Just for info audi want £860 to fit and most others are about £600.

Thanks for your response. The camera kit I am thinking of buying has already been calibrated with the superimposed grid lines in the reverse view on the screen. I can do the coding and sdf acceptance using obd11 Pro. It is the cable routing and trim removal and refitting that makes me a bit nervous - so easy to break clips and crack trim.

Wanted to save myself £300, hence the request

Recently bought an edition 1. Has anyone fitted this as a diy fit. Particularly interested in hardwire routing through the car to the mmi. Pictures would be a bonus. Many thanks.

Just got a 2023 A3 and have used obd11 to set the lane assist to remember the last setting so saves me one job on startup.

You can buy 12v to 5v converters on the net for £5. Used them in the past for phone charging.

Only just seen this. Probably easiest route is the reversing light.
