Thanks. Did do the drivers side first, but the passenger side was just a real PIA. Broke the grey tab unfortunately on the stock plug. Wonder if they sell those somewhere as I also need two for the Cargraphic controller since I bought it used and it had both tabs broken.
You need to buy the entire connector to get the tab. Part number is on the connector. It’s a common VW part and only a few dollars

Thanks. Is it easy to remove the existing connector and add a new one? Just recall a ton of wires connected to it didn’t look like one could easily remove the connector and add another without having to reconnect all the wires.

It should be possible to remove the little clip you broke from the new connector and put it in your old connector. as long as I’m thinking you broke what you actually broke.( Little gray piece that slides to lock the connector in)

I received my control unit but it's missing the eyelets. Anyone have advice how to mount this version to the alternator cover? I received a small metal mounting plate too. Thanks.
Is there anyone with a base 992 non-PSE exhaust who can give their review of the cargrapghic unit? Is there still a big improvement with non-pse?
From the drivers seat, Definite increase in sound on cold start. Once warm it seems slightly louder and I get some burbles. I didn’t think the cost justified the sound improvement, but after driving over to friends and fam they all said it’s def louder and aftermarket exhaust not needed.
@luckycanine Flat 6 Motorsports makes a 3D printed mount that fits the "earless" style controller (Version B). The mount has two tabs that fit into holes of the controller and seems very well built. I'll be installing mine later this week.

hello, I need help! I was able to use a mirror under the car to find and unclip the factory plugs that go into the valve controller. It took a little patience but wasn't that hard as long as you know about the grey clip and how to unplug it. I used a flathead screwdriver to push back the grey thing on the passenger side. Its totally doable just by feel alone.
I also fished down the wires from the cargraphic controller (sitting atop the alternator cover loosely ziptied) down to the valve controllers on either side. Before plugging anything I wanted to ensure I am able to ziptie the loose wires appropriately to prevent a catastrophic failure. For the life of me I am not able to decide how/where to leave the wires so there is minimal risk to anything. On the driver side, I am not able to fit my hands anywhere to ziptie the wire to anything. I got a bunch of cuts from sharp things by poking around down there. The alternator belt is super close and exposed to the wire and even if I push it all the way to the left, it feels risky. On the passenger side, the wire is going straight down, I can ziptie to the plastic hose on top but I cant fit my hands down to ziptie it to anything else lower.
I ended up reversing everything and plugging the stock plugs back into the valve controllers. I don't have access to lift the car and am too chicken to drive it onto some 2x4 and get under it. Should I remove the rear spoiler? Will it give me more room to work with or is that a waste? How are people ziptieing the lines!
