2024 VW Golf R subwoofer upgrade
This video shows how to upgrade the factory Harmon Kardon subwoofer to a custom box with a Rockford Fosgate 12” shallow mount dual voice coil subwoofer in a 2024 VW Golf R (MK8).
I used the same subwoofer box I made for my previous 2016 VW Golf R and updated the wiring harness to match the new car.
The previous sub box build video can be found here: ruclips.net/video/uSMpKOPeJEc/видео.htmlsi=sRRf8FMUr1o-vCXS
This will fit the MK7 and MK8 Golf R and fit flush mounted under the rear hatch floor. The wiring harness is a little different in each model and requires a different plug. Otherwise it’s all the same and works in either car.

Thanks for this video. I replaced my trunk harness and my trunk started working again on my 2012 VW CC. Yet, the trunk lights are still not working, my dash still shows the trunk open when it's closed, and I'm unable to lock my doors from the inside of the car. Any advice you can give? Thanks
Why did you use two terminals for just one speaker? Just wondering because I’m doing this to my VW and just want to make sure I do it right
Because the RF sub has dual voice coils. So 1 terminal and 1 set of wires for each voice coil.
Did you install an amp as well? If not, is there a noticeable difference in the base with the new sub compared to the factory sub?
No amp. Yes there is a very noticeable difference in the bass with the RF sub vs. both the MK7 & MK8 factory subs.
@@chrismiller9776 Thank you!!
Thanks so much for this! I was able (as a 30 something woman with no knowledge of car mechanics) to do this myself in under an hour. I even used my hair tie to feed the wires through and a cuticle pusher to help get all the clips apart hahaha. Problem solved!!
Thanks, man. This was helpfull
The link to the entire Mk7 build (including the wiring harness) is in the video description.
Whats the link to the mk7 sub harness?
I don't know if you can help but my dashboard doesn't show a digital speedometer (mph) could you upload a video or something for it? I've messed with settings to see if I could find a way
Do you know where is the fuse for the right hand side mirror light? When parking.
Hej wymieniłem żarówki H7 i po wymianie zaczęła katrolka migać 6 razy i gaśnie . Gdzie szukać przyczyny ,bo już zgupialem
Appreciate the video--please consider linking to replacement parts (along with affliate links--so you can get a spiff for your hardwork). Thx.
2013 skoda superb same error message. Its the black control module on the headlight underside
Thank you for the video. Your video made it possible for me to fix the issue myself. My '14 CC had intermittent issues with the trunk not opening with the key fob, door, and rear hatch. The rear lights were working fine. I ordered the OEM wire harness from FCP Euro. Here are my suggestions: 1. Definitely wear cut proof gloves. This will keep your hands from being cut by the sharp/rigid plastics. 2. I highly recommend using Nylon Pry Bar set (Harbor Freight). Metal screw driver will destroy the tabs. These tools allowed me to unlatch the 4 connectors located in the driver's side rear fender. I used the nylon pry bar to remove the connectors from the chassis. I also used the nylon pry bar to push into the connector. This released the connection tab to release the male plug. Nylon pry bars were also used to remove the tabs located throughout the lid of the trunk and the carpeted wall. 3. I removed the trunk lid liner completely. Remember to take a picture of the manual trunk release for reference. 4. Instead of removing the wiring completely, I pulled through the disconnected wiring harness from the bottom to top (trunk lid). Once the wiring harness was out, I disconnected the old connectors from the trunk lid and plugged the new connectors as I went along. 5. I was able to feed the 4 connectors into the rear quarter by using a blue tape to wrap the wires together. The wires were strong enough to feed without issues. I was able to put the panel pieces back without issues. Remember, do not force too much when working with the body panels. The metal clips for the trunk lid does move laterally, so be mindful when reinstalling them. I had to adjust few of my metal clips to line up with the slit/hole. Good luck! Thank you again for the video.
I got message even when my bulbs were working, so I have changed them and falure message still present =(
It worked great! Thank you!
I have a 2014 3.6 engine. I suppose the harness would be the same? Does anyone have the part number?
The guy asked me $70 bucks to replace it but thanks to you i did it for free. So really thank for this video!!
DMX playing…ah a man of culture 😌 great video, thank you for the tutorial!
Thanks for this. Helped me find the issue. It's amazing how misleading the warning message is
It's hard to find a video for a '13 CC Plus, THANK YOU FOR THIS!
Thanks! I need to do this exact same thing on a 2015 VW Polo hatchback, and curious if anyone knows where the connectors to the wiring harness are at the car end. Roof? C-pillar? The wiring harness goes through to tailgate near the roof, but I don’t want to disassemble panels, and risk breaking something, where I don’t need to.
What about when there's no error message? AFS is active but doesn't work?
Check your settings. It may be turned off
Mine is opening the trunk suddenly, could this be same issue?
Same thing, even when i shift in reverse. Did you fix it?
What about when the reverse lights don’t work? I’ve changed them and they went out again.
used this cut sheet with a JL Audio TW3 12" and it worked great. I pulled the OE sub and utilized the wiring pigtail from that so I didn't need to order the parts. Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you, very helpful
Thanks brother, I was trying to fix mine but it actually didn’t work
Thanks I need a switch.👍🏼🏆
May i ask how you attached your rear view camera?
Our 2013 does not have a backup camera. For vehicles with a backup camera, there is a different wiring harness which has an extra connection/plug for the backup camera.
That engine bay is uncomfortably clean
thanks
I’ve never even changed a tire.. but a series of events later and I feel like I need a telling everyone I know that I just did this in less than 20min 💪🏻 👩🏻🔧 here’s the story, but for those who don’t want it, this WORKED and was so damn easy! And also there are two rubber covers on each side for the lights; you’re opening/removing the circular rubber seal from the ones closest to the rear of the car) I can’t see at night in CA, VW dealership doesn’t sell brighter lights, was told I could buy some and they’d put them in, auto parts place said they could put them depending upon the process, googled the process, found this…. I almost high-fived myself twice (after hearing one light click into place, then after turning my car on and their glorious beams shining - 1st engine start, around 10-15min after install) and I tell you no lies.
Amazing video. Thanks for having great camera work and really breaking down each step. This saved me a lot of money
Thank you for this post. I saved paying the dealer for changing it out however I did pay them $$$ for the OEM harness for my 2010 cc. Your tips were on the mark.
Hey sorry to bother, I own a 2010 cc as well, I have the reverse light issue and also my trunk won't open. I think I also have this wiring harness problem. Were you just following along this video while replacing? And how much did you pay for the wiring?
Thanks for posting this!
if you already repaced it and do the same what can be the problem?
YES! Thank you so much
Hi do the block off plates go on the flange of the headers/manifolds ??? I am getting after market Doug thorley headers on my v8 4runner and want to make sure I get there block off plates in at the same time since my remflex gasket is not reusable.
Same problem happened to my 2015 cc. After 3 hours diagnosis by dealer ship and they pointed out the causes was due to trunk wire harness failure. Guess how much they gonna charge me.Up to 1500 bucks. And this not the end. That price is just for harness replacement. They say this is just the first step for the further inspection. Now I’ve picked up my car back trying to do this myself .
Good job explaining and thanks for the good lighting. To fish the lines back down into the trunk, I used a tool to take the trunk lid off of the arm. It made fishing the lines a ton easier. I had no problems taking the old line out, where you said the little plastic pieces stuck, I just pulled the other way, no snags. All in all, a one hour fix. Cost about $100 for the cable. Who knows what it would’ve cost to get it fixed. Thanks again.
how did you take trunk lid off the arm? i'm stuck at this step. afraid to do anything hasty cuz the wiring harness is delicate.
About to do this on my Jetta GLI. Do you have the link for the bulbs!? Thank you!
thanks for this video, i recently got the error message, went to google and found this video! awesome
hello. can you tell me where i can buy this bypass? I have a 2006 Toyota Sequoia.

What's the sense of doing a repair video if you aren't going to show all the steps to repair, like shaft replacement?
Does it turn on immediately after you change the bulb? Or do you have to give it a few minutes for the lightbulb to turn on?
It turns on immediately once the cable is connected to it, just a matter of securing the bulb back in correct position.
You forgot to show the actual removal and install...
Thanks bud! Helped me out tremendously! 13 CC R-line
I have the same problem! The trunk latch won’t work at all! Can you tell me where you bought the harness please?
