housing (3 pin) - 893 971 633
wires - 000 979 225

you only need 2 wires per 3 wire connector as they're terminated on both ends. so cut in half you really get 4 wires...

David - I know you have some VW contacts - do you happen to have any way of finding out the part number for a similar wire pigtail/connector shell for the Euro/ROW Interior Alarm Sensor/Interior Light Combo - same style & overall size as the dome lights -they look like this and have a 6 pin mini connector (2 rows of 3pins)

Down Heinrich down... we've got to figure out how they work first...!

This would be a good candidate for an alarm expansion on your new GTS - but not really very easy on the 'other' car.

David - I have also been unable to find this part in any VW wiring diagrams - I'd also like to know how its configured internally - diagram or wire color would help me a lot. I have some guesses how it works but I only have one unit to experiment on - so I'd like whatever info I can get before I start...

You painted it right? Looks nice - hope it holds up well

Did you have to dissassemble it or just mask it off ?
