Ever wished your Transporter could cruise like a modern executive car, look like a showroom model, and still feel like home inside? That’s exactly what we delivered here. This VW T6 didn’t just get an Adaptive Cruise Control retrofit—it got the full treatment, including a real cow leather interior retrim with gloss black trim and a properly integrated Kenwood head unit using the correct UART interface.

What We Upgraded on This VW T6

This wasn’t your average retrofit job. We went all-in to make this van safer, more comfortable, and smarter—without compromising the OEM feel:

  • ⚫ Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) retrofit for smoother, safer motorway driving
  • ⚫ Full interior retrim in genuine cow leather with gloss black trims for a premium, cohesive look
  • ⚫ Kenwood head unit with correct UART interface installed for factory-level integration

Why the UART Interface Matters

Most aftermarket installs miss the mark when it comes to integration. Not here. Using the correct UART interface allowed us to retain full steering wheel control functionality, display parking sensors on the screen, and ensure the Kenwood system communicates flawlessly with the van’s onboard electronics. It’s not just plug-and-play—it’s plug, code, calibrate, and enjoy.

Interior Trim That Feels as Good as It Looks

The leather retrim wasn’t just a cosmetic upgrade—it transformed the cabin. We used real cow leather throughout, expertly stitched and fitted to feel like the van rolled out of Wolfsburg that way. Gloss black accents were added across the dash and trim panels for a clean, modern finish that ties everything together beautifully.

Why This Retrofit Hits Different

Adaptive Cruise Control isn’t just a fancy button—it’s a game-changer for long-distance driving. With radar-based distance keeping and auto braking, it takes the stress out of traffic and keeps you safer on the road. Combined with the upgraded interior and smart head unit integration, this T6 now drives better, looks sharper, and feels smarter.

OEM-Level Integration—Done the Right Way

We’re not just installers—we’re retrofit specialists. Our expertise in vag retrofits means we understand how to make upgrades like this work as if they came from the factory. From removing the front bumper for ACC radar mounting to coding the system using ODIS and VCP, every step was handled with precision.
