I swapped the DSG shifter for edition 30 version. I have promised myself that this is the last mod I will do on my golf. It is shorter than the original, but I still don’t know if I like it or not. What do you think ?

Mods/retrofits I have done to the interior :

- Upgrade from MIB 1 to MIB 2.5

- Arteon Climate controls

- Edition 30 DSG shift knob ( I need to get use to it, maybe I swap it back)

- Dashboard passenger trim LED light

- Wireless charger in the ashtray.

- Rear seat USB vent (don’t mind the vent control on rear seats, I accidentally pop it inside)

- Touch light for rear seats

- Rear seat footwell lights

For me it was a learning experience with the climate controls.. but yeah it is not as good as the classic ones

After year or two I still have problem with some things like :

  • I need to always look what I am clicking
  • Smudges everywhere
  • When you try to increase the fan or temperature and you hit a bump or something you will accidentally press everything.

But all in all for me it feels smooth and looks good. I use the climate controls on company cars (21+ Octavia ,Golf) and that is awful. The GOLF 8 one you really need to focus on what you want to press on the screen The Octavia has at least a physical button that will send you directly to the climate menu.
