Data link connector
VW Mk4 Jetta, Golf, New Beetle, Passat TDI forumHello everyone, I recently installed a 2005 BEW from a beetle, into my 92 forerunner. Got it running good, but cannot figure out how to wire in the data link connector. Can this be done without using Volkswagen instrument cluster? If so can someone please tell me which wires to hook where? Thanks- 0
