This Volkswagen T6 Caravel received a comprehensive audio overhaul, featuring the Alpine SPC-108T6 component speaker system, a 550 Watts DSP amplifier, and the SPC-D84AT6 subwoofer kit. The installation delivered a substantial leap in sound quality, with the 20 cm mid-range speakers engineered specifically for the T6 platform. These speakers provided detailed mids, crisp treble, and robust mid-bass, handling up to 300 Watts peak power for a dynamic listening experience.
The Alpine DSP amplifier, rated at 550 Watts, was integrated to maximise output and refine the soundstage using vehicle-specific tuning. Its plug-and-play harness ensured a seamless connection with the T6’s original wiring, while the DSP’s tailored settings optimised performance for the unique cabin acoustics. The subwoofer, a 300 Watts dual voice coil 20 cm unit, was discreetly installed beneath the passenger seat in a sealed enclosure—compatible even with the California’s rotary seat base—delivering deep, balanced bass throughout the van.

- 300 Watts subwoofer in a bespoke sealed enclosure under the seat

Performance — This retrofit transformed the in-cabin audio experience, offering clarity and depth far beyond the standard system, making every journey more enjoyable.
VW Caddy Mk4: Discovery Navigation Retrofit & Golf Mk7 GTI Front Seats Installation
🔵 See the VW Caddy Mk4 navigation and GTI seat retrofit journey on Facebook
A returning customer brought in his VW Caddy Mk4 for a dual retrofit: installation of a supplied VW Discovery navigation system with Apple CarPlay and maps, and the fitting of Golf Mk7 GTI front seats to complement the previously supplied red-stitched steering wheel. The navigation unit was fully integrated, with all coding and sensor connections completed using dealership-grade diagnostic tools, ensuring flawless operation and no error messages.
The GTI seats, chosen for their OEM look and comfort, required custom adjustments to the seat rails and wiring to achieve a factory-quality fit. All occupancy sensors and seatbelt warnings were properly connected and tested, resulting in a seamless upgrade with no warning lights. The project took additional time due to the bespoke nature of the seat installation, but the result was a Caddy Mk4 with enhanced comfort and a premium, cohesive interior.
- VW Discovery navigation system with CarPlay and integrated mapping
- Golf Mk7 GTI front seats, precisely installed to match the red-stitched steering wheel
- Comprehensive coding and sensor integration for error-free operation
- Custom seat mounting for perfect alignment and safety
Key Benefit Highlighted:
Convenience — The integration of advanced navigation and premium seating elevated the daily usability and comfort of the vehicle, making every drive more enjoyable and intuitive.
