- This is a video for how to install a bass system in a 2015 VW GTI MK7. Alot of people have asked where to obtain the wires for this vehicle and what to use to install their bass or amplifiers. ENJOY!

Nice clean install man great work
Well done this we'll help me out big time with my TDI.
Awesome video! Helps a lot with my install! I am using a LOC I got from bestbuy and I have the fender audio so I tapped my left (+/-) and right (+/-) to my wires in the trunk. My LOC has two ground wires, do you know if it’s necessary to ground these out? Thanks :)
Amigo, onde tu ligou o cabo remoto para ligar o amplificador junto com a central multimidia?
Very cool video. Do you know by any chance the color wires on the rear left side? I want to put a HI-LO and rca right to that amp. Any new fabrication done? I want to make my own box. Why alpine type S.
very helpful thank you dude great vid
Nice video, how did you run the power and ground for the LC2i? did u run individual cables to the battery for power or did u grab power and ground off the amp?
I installed a powered subwoofer on my 2016 e-Golf (non Fender audio) by tapping the speaker output wires like you did and connecting them directly to the sub’s high level input. I noticed the head unit output now clips at a much lower volume and it gets unusually hot. It is almost impossible to set the sub amp gain as the levels are all over the place and slight changes to the amp gain cause the sub to cut in and out.
I verified the polarity of all connections on both ends and everything seems alright. I would assume tapping into the speaker outputs effectively lowers the impedance seen by the head unit onboard amp causing it to go crazy. Wondering if using an LC2i instead of the sub’s high level inputs may make any difference.
How did you know what wires to hook up too? I can't find a proper wire diagram for this.
Hello, I just recently had an install done on my 2015 GTI with the fender audio system.
JL Audio 12W 1v3
JL Audio JX250\1
Ported Box
The in-line converter is LOC PRO 7-2R
I feel like the sub hits nice and hard at the higher frequencies (50hz+) but anything below is just really "lacking" I don't know it's hard to explain it just doesn't feel very crisp and low.
Like there is some kind of cutoff that the headunit is sending to the subs to I'm assuming make it so it doesn't damage the speakers up front (which I have disabled the bass from going to them anyway)
ANYWAY
My question to you is does the L2i fix this issue? I really hope so because I just spent a stupid amount of money on this install and this bass rolloff or what appears to be a high pass cutoff below 50hz is a real bummer.
how pleased are you with the factory tuned roll off of the eq? I am not please very much....does anyone know how to get around that while using the factory radio??
Great video!
so is the CD holder in the glovebox also the amp? I wanted to get rid of the CD holder being no one has used one of those in over ten years, why they still put them in cars is beyond me.
Great job bro! It would be great if we can get the wiring diagram you used.
Can I do this to my 2015 polo gti? It's a 6 speaker audio system
Does wiring to the back of the CD player allow bass for other audio sources too? (Bluetooth, radio, etc.)
Sterling Martin yes in a sense it could
where you bought a tube with a filter cone ?
Hi, is the hole on the firewall big enough to do 2 - 3 runs of 0 gauge wires through?
Which wires do you exactly tap into because i dont get it can you please help i dont understand the diagram
I just did the same installation on my 2016 Golf TSI
Blue / white strip - Negative
Black / white strip - Positive
Blue / black strip - Positive
White / black strip - Negative
(I think)
It doesnt have a remote cable so i had to connect it to the power cable with a switch so I can turn the amp off manually
You can just use one + of the speakers as a remote and it works perfectly :)
Great video sir! Any idea what the slots under and side of the CD player for?
Ryan Brkljacic I believe card holder for insurance cards etc. the 3rd small slot is SD card for navigation models update and maps
Modfydsubi STi thank you!
Where did you find the information about the cables
Thanks for the video,
how/where i can get the + 12v wire to connect it to the LC2i and how i have to connect the ground wire to the LC2i?
IMP the ingition wire you can get from the fuse box under the drivers side dash. With a test light, check for 12v power when the key is turned to the on position. Put the wire on the side that shows power when the fuse is pulled out (the protected side). The LC2i has a built in remote turn on called "GTO". It automatically puts remote output to your amplifier. Make sure the jumper is set to "enable".
thanks a lot. how about the ground wire that goes to the LC2i?
IMP anything metal to the chassis is sufficient. If it's a bad ground, it'll go in and out of working. Using a test light after it's installed, if it's also a bad ground it'll light up the test light when checking ground on the LC2i.
thank you sir
What did you use for a remote wire?
Wiring diagram?????
Great Video - should be really helpful. Can you post the wiring diagram or a link to it? Can't find it in the comments. Thanks!

Dude, nice video. Please post the wiring diagram or tell us where to get it. Thanks
What wires did you tap into? Colors? Did get full signal using front speakers??
Hey man,, i was wondering if you got Faults on almost everything after reconnecting the battery?
HGvidz yes that is normal.
Drive for 1000 yards and all of them will reset.
good point about interference. nice job
What kind of tape did you use to wrap your cables? Looks clean!
I use tesa tape for a factory look.
Hey man, how do you think is it ok/possible to just replace that audio with an aftermarket one that already has RCAs, it won't mess the other part of the VW Infotainment system (or w/e it's called)?
NGC7603 im a bit confused with your question. Are you asking if it is possible to change the radio with an aftermarket one?
@@OrangeSliceEclipse Hi yes this I want to know. That CD player unit in the glove box that you pulled out. Can I have it replaced by an aftermarket Single DIN head unit, would it fit? I have a Pioneer Headnunit I want to install.
great video and great job. Every other video I have seen looked like shit. What wiring kit did you use ?
Anybody have a Wiring diagram? I have a 2016 Golf R with the Fender system. Looking to know what each wire is in the back.
Thanks
My 17 R had the fender system and my 16 R does not in the US at least
My radio/cd player won't click in because there are too many wires in the back, which in turn makes the glove box difficult to close. Do you have any suggestions to help the radio fit?
Karla Brown you need to tap the wires to the very back of the harness. As much as possible. Otherwise it clutters together at the front. Zip tie the wires together. Once you push the radio back in, you'll have to put some good pressure. It'll lock in place. If that doesn't work, you'll have to drop the glove box by removing all the torque screws holding it in place. Hope this helps.
Modfyd Inc thanks, I will try that.
yeah but how did u get the wires to the radio without dismantling the parts there is no access
Which ones are speakers wires on your CD player?
Eli Z they are the twisted wires.
what intake is that on the car? it looks so simple
It's a original prototype for AEM. I live down the street from them so they gave it to me for free.
The hole for the firewall where is it located
Do you have fender audio?
Using the halogen headlights as a clue, I'm going to say no fender. Also, answered @5:14
May I have the wiring diagram?
How you connect remote wire
What gauge T tap did he use on the speaker wiring!?
schematic is posted below.
Where is the wiring schematic? Not seeing it. I want to tackle this job next weekend but I need to know what speaker input wires to tap into. Please let me know! Thanks
+GMann89 Mann I posted the link in the comments below.
Sorry, maybe I'm blind but I've looked through all your comments and I can't find the link for the wiring diagram you're talking about. Could you maybe post it as a reply to this comment? I would really appreciate it, knowing which cables to tap into for the hi level speaker inputs is my last battle with this project!
Hey Geoffrey, assuming you've got it figured out, what T tap gauge did you use on the speaker wiring?
why not just tap into rear speakers?
Glad I bout the se smh
Better use a quadlock adapter, not damage the original wires
That's one way to have your warranty voided if some is to go wrong lol. great video tho
Good video and thank you for posting but omg my brain works so much faster than you talk. You repeat yourself over and over and over. Stop saying the same thing 5 times and this video would only need to be 3 min 😉 but thank you for posting!!!
Ex: You showed the keys to pop out the head unit wayyy too long- we all got the point and figured out how it works in like 0.7 seconds after seeing the keys and the holes they go in lol
Did you wire the remote from the amp?
Tuffy Doll from the lc2i. it has audio remote sensing where it provides a remote signal for you.
yeah i had a lc2i professional hooked up but my amp didn't turn off....ever. I had to manually turn it off
