    As soon as i start my car there is a kind of buzzing from the radio area (I don’t think it’s the radio itself). It actually sounds like it’s trying to read a cd but I know there’s none in there. Is this normal? Or is it possibly bad. Thanks! It’s the 2002 glx wagon with the v6

    I was told it was possible to install the center console from a MK4 Jetta (from behind the shifter, back that houses the armrest) with a little work on the handbrake. I've got a 2001 B5 Passat that I'd like to put it in. Any idea how true this is before I spend the money on one? I like...

    Hello everyone. I finally got all the parts to put in a proper b5.5 console in my 01 GLS B5. It fit perfect, looks great, however, I have noticed that the sliding armrest slides way too easily, and doesn't see right. It still opens and closes (ratchets) properly, but the sliding part I think...

    Hello the cup holders in the front console of my B7 2013 Passat have both come off - the little rotating element that the cup sits on. I bought a replacement unit, like this one...

    Hello, I have a 2004 passat and unfortunately do not have the center compartment with the hand rest installed and was thinking of retro fitting one and I found one exactly like my spec but my car is a left hand drive one and the one I found is from a right hand drive car and thus the handbrake...

    2000 GLX B5 sedan. Replaced the radio with an aftermarket Kenwood. I've also pulled out my center console near the hand brake for some cleaning and touch up paint. Then I moved on to the seats, pulling one at a time, cleaning underneath, etc.. Now I'm fixing the driver's heated seat waiting...

    The center console with the armrest between the front seats. When I open the lid/arm rest there is an insert to hold stuff. How do I pull that out? Brute force? It looks like there are clips on the end towards the rear of the car, I'm not sure if there are also clips at the front.

    Installed awhile ago a 5.5 center console. Decided it was finally time to make it functional since I now need that as an fm transmitter slot. Any experience from anyone doing this mod themselves ? I'm thinking of going to the u pull and cutting a connector from a 5.5 since my center console...

    Failed Upgrade: Center Console I attempted to upgrade the center console in my 2012 Passat SE from the basic black to the brushed aluminum style I found on ebay. I bought both the part with the cup holders/gear surround, and that fits just as I expected it to. My problem came when I tried to...

    Do the center consoles from a B5.5 auto and 5sp have different size shift boot holes? I ask as when I had a 5sp installed to replace the auto the new shift boot would not fit the original hole. Either the shift boot I got with the kit is too large or I require a center console with a larger...

    I'll take some photos tonight. B5.5 center console - the one with cup holders. Any B5 owner knows how lame the cup holder situation is, this console makes life so much better. Its Grey with the leather wrapped B5.5 E/parking break lever (needed to do the swap, the B5 and B5.5 E/parking brake...

    2000 Passat I'm finally replacing my center console and I have the whole center piece out with the console attached. It was a pain to get it out from the E-brake handle.. Now I can't get the metal base of the console apart from the console box. Any tips? Pics below (hope they show). I am...

    Looking for any information on adding USB ports to the center dash. Empty spacers, considering using one of these to add a couple USB ports. So far I've found these options: 1) Tear down the cigarette lighter, since its not used, as a power source. Something like this would be perfect...
