CAC FXVW5K2 9" Complete Fascia Kit for VW Amarok/Transporter/Caddy 2015+

Complete plug-and-play fascia kit with integrated harnesses for multiple Volkswagen commercial and passenger models

Product Overview

The CAC FXVW5K2 is a comprehensive 9" fascia installation kit designed for multiple Volkswagen models (2015-2022) featuring trapezoid-shaped factory dash apertures. Unlike fascia-only solutions that require separate component purchases, this complete kit includes the fascia panel, steering wheel control retention harness, factory reverse camera adapter, and radio antenna adapter in a single package—eliminating the complexity of sourcing individual components and ensuring all elements are engineered to work together seamlessly. Compatible with Volkswagen Amarok (2017-2022), Caddy (2015-2020), Crafter (2017+), Multivan (2016-2019), Tiguan (2015-2016), and Transporter (2016-2019), this kit accommodates universal trapezoid 9" and 10" head units from Alpine, Kenwood, Pioneer, Nakamichi, and aftermarket Android systems. The plug-and-play design connects directly to factory wiring, maintaining steering wheel controls, factory reverse camera functionality, and radio antenna integration while enabling wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and modern navigation features across Volkswagen's commercial and lifestyle vehicle platforms.

Features & Benefits

Complete all-in-one kit eliminates multiple component purchases by bundling fascia panel, steering wheel control harness, reverse camera retention adapter, and antenna adapter together—saves time sourcing individual parts, ensures compatibility between components, and reduces installation complexity common with piecing together aftermarket solutions from multiple suppliers.

Multi-vehicle Volkswagen coverage spans six models across commercial and passenger segments including Amarok utes (2017-2022), Transporter vans (2016-2019), Caddy commercial vans (2015-2020), Crafter large vans (2017+), Multivan people movers (2016-2019), and Tiguan SUVs (2015-2016)—enables consistent installations across mixed Volkswagen fleets or provides upgrade paths for multiple family vehicles.

Plug-and-play factory integration connects directly to existing Volkswagen wiring without cutting, splicing, or permanent modifications—maintains vehicle warranty compliance, simplifies installation for DIY enthusiasts, and ensures clean, professional results that preserve factory electrical integrity and future serviceability.

Steering wheel control retention preserves all factory button functions including volume, track skip, voice commands, and phone controls through the included harness—eliminates the frustration of losing convenient steering wheel operation when upgrading to aftermarket head units, maintaining the OEM driving experience.

Factory reverse camera preservation through the included retention adapter ensures the existing Volkswagen rear-view camera continues functioning with the new head unit—critical for commercial operators with reversing safety requirements, families relying on parking assistance, and maintaining ADR compliance in applicable vehicles.

Universal 9" and 10" trapezoid compatibility works with Alpine's popular iLX-AW409S and iLX-AX809 (both 9" and 10" variants), Kenwood DMX80AXS, Pioneer DMH-AP6650BT, Nakamichi's full Android head unit range, and generic aftermarket Android receivers—provides maximum head unit selection flexibility across different brands, feature sets, and budgets.

OEM-style fascia finish matches factory dashboard aesthetics across Volkswagen's grey/black interior trim common to commercial and passenger models—maintains professional appearance valued by fleet operators, tradies, and families where visible aftermarket modifications may impact resale value or corporate image.

Nakamichi Android system compatibility specifically supports Car Audio Connect's proprietary Nakamichi CAN-bus integrated Android receivers designed for Volkswagen applications—enables advanced vehicle integration including climate control display, multi-function steering wheel support, and digital cluster information on-screen.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in this kit versus fascia-only options?

The FXVW5K2 is a complete installation kit including fascia panel, steering wheel control retention harness, reverse camera retention adapter, and radio antenna adapter. Fascia-only options require purchasing these components separately. This all-in-one kit ensures compatibility and simplifies sourcing.

Does this work with both 9" and 10" head units?

Yes, the FXVW5K2 accommodates universal trapezoid 9" and 10" head units. Use with 9" units like Pioneer DMH-AP6650BT or Kenwood DMX80AXS, or larger 10" units like Alpine's iLX-AW409S-10 or iLX-AX809-10 variants. The trapezoid aperture design fits both screen sizes.

Will my steering wheel controls continue working?

Yes, the included steering wheel control retention harness preserves all factory button functions including volume, track skip, voice commands, and phone controls. The harness connects between your Volkswagen's factory wiring and the new head unit, maintaining full functionality.

Can I install this myself or do I need a professional?

The plug-and-play design enables DIY installation for mechanically-inclined owners with basic tools. However, professional installation ensures correct harness connections, proper fascia fitment, and verification that all retained features (steering wheel controls, camera, antenna) function correctly after installation.

Does this fit all Volkswagen models?

No, this kit specifically fits Amarok 2017-2022, Caddy 2015-2020, Crafter 2017+, Multivan 2016-2019, Tiguan 2015-2016, and Transporter 2016-2019 only. Other Volkswagen models have different dashboard architectures requiring specific kits. Verify your vehicle model and year before purchasing.
