    Default Installing power locks and windows into 2004 VW Golf

    Has anyone every installed an aftermarket power window and keyless entry kit into a VW Golf before?

    I found this kit: Power window kit

    The car currently has neither of them and I can't seem to find many examples of DIYs on this.

    I once installed a kit like this into my 87 Prelude and it seemed to work fine but I want to get a feel for the VWs.

    Wouldn't it be easier to get those parts from another VW and then just plug and play?

    Older VW electrical systems are the worst to begin with, I wouldn't want to introduce more sources for electrical gremlins. haha

    MK4 golfs are dirt cheap... either flip and get one with PW/PDL or sell yourself on the weight savings and maintenance reductions of manual windows and locks.

    Swapping is not worth the time or money.

    Just bought this kit and it doesn't look as bad as I thought. I do have one question though. I know a lot of the times it's required to run relays with actuators but looking at thi

    s, it has the central black box and I'm wondering if the relays are built right into it and you don't need to add the relays. Any ideas if this is the case?

    This is what I'm thinking:
