Hi,
First I appoligize for the English.

On VWVortex Touareg forum we are trying to figure out how to install the start/stop button in the center console. VW of America doesn't give us the start/stop button in the USA. We have figured out everything required to install the button except which piece of wood trim we should get. There are nearly 50 different pieces of wood trim in that one area. See this PDF (part nbr 22) for all the variations.

http://tm-techmark.com/touareg/PDFfiles/863-50.PDF

What we currently have is just two holes in this wood trim. One for the mirror adjustment and one for the 12V outlet. We do not have the key switch on the right side of the shift lever. So we need to find the wood trim that has 3 holes. The mirror adjustment control, the 12V plug AND the start button.

In order to do this we need to figure out the model coding: 4F2, 4F6, 4K0, 4K3, and 4UD.

If anyone can be of help here, please contact me: spockcat@netzero.net

Thanks.

Anyone have wood trim with just three holes? Here is what our US spec Touaregs have for center console:

Here is what we need if we are to do the start/stop button modification:

keep on looking

It would help if you could check the model code of your car for 4UD or 4UE. The model code sticker is under the rear cargo floor just above and to the right of the spare tire. Please tell me if you have 4UD or 4UE and how many holes you have in this piece of wood trim.

Look for the sticker upper left hand corner:

Roland,

Thank you VERY MUCH for your reply. So this wood trim piece does not have the key switch to shut off the airbag on the right side of the shift lever? It has only three holes?

Not that I do not believe you but I want to be sure we are understanding each other. This is because the part number 7L6 863 916 CT 2WE has the model code of 4UE and the MSP page says "driver and passenger airbags with the possibility of deactivating front passenger airbag". I took that to mean that there is a manual switch to turn off the passenger airbag and that switch is on the center console.

A picture would completely cure my fears.

Roland,

There is a hole in front of the flashlight and to the right of the shift lever. I have been told this is to shut off the passenger airbag. We do not have this option in the USA and thus we cannot have this hole in the wood trim. You have confirmed that the code 4UE will get a wood trim with this hole.

Still looking for wood trim without this hole.

Jim

Many thanks for the info. I certainly owe you a beer the next time I am in Germany or you are in the USA.

Incidentally, I went to look at a new V10 tdi at a local dealer yesterday. It will cost me my V8 plus $22,000. VW has priced the V10 about $12,000 above the V8 here in the USA and my V8 has 17,000 miles and is 10 months old. I am seriously considering moving up into the car.
Jim

I loved the power of the car. A nice increase in torque over the V8. You can really feel the difference. Better fuel mileage would be nice too.

Jim

I have agreed with the dealer to purchase the V10.

Thanks to darkdiver for the part number info I have been able to install the keyless start in my V10 and a friend's V8.

Here are a couple of photos:

Hi Spockat,

Wow Great Work.

Well done. Do you think this can be installed in some R5 or V6 too ?

best regards
Eric

I haven't looked at the wiring diagram or parts list but it might be possible to do even if the car doesn't have the keyless system. But you would need to install the keyless antenna in the car (the one under the center console does the sensing for the start I think) and you might need a different key.
