They should honor the lower price as a good-will for the Pacifica, imo.

We were supposed to get the lighted emblem but the parts weren't available, from what I understand, so the wiring should all be in place (and from past experience VW tends to use a standard wiring loom across their trims).

Like Nai3t, however, I told myself the lighted logo would probably look tacky. I'm a sucker for options, though, so I will probably become tempted to option it to the hilt eventually What I'm really hoping for is a way to option in a front motor on our FEs.

Suckers? It was pretty clear on the spec sheet. I look at it as a bonus as I find the Mercedes illuminated emblems tacky, and have seen some hideous aftermarket lighted Audi badges.

Sucker as being the initial owners of this car. (Read sarcasm). I'm just saying it also because my car was in the shop for 3 days to fix a navigation system already.

My wife's Pacifica was supposed to come with foot operated door openers. Since they weren't available they didn't charge her for the $195 option.
About 4 months later they became available. The wiring was already installed. But out of the parts department it would now cost $600.
She uses the key fob.

I owned a 2019 Pacifica Hybrid Limited also. Love everything was packaged towards the end of the product cycle. And the S trim was exactly what I wanted, no chrome.

Pics from Reddit VWID4Owners - Front Badge, looks great

 

[javi_ID4]

I just need someone to take better pictures of the wire connections. My pictures show the wires connected to the badge but not the opposite ends.

 

[Andy at Ross-Tech.com]

I tried to get a pic of the Pro S at my dealer. The wires disappear into a loom.

 

[Nai3t]

Lol. Maybe the V and the W are circuited separately!

 

[theboomr]

Is anyone here familiar with sites like this, which claim to sell oem parts at reduced prices? If you just put the part number into Google there are a bunch of sites like this for the lighted badge part, seems odd to me that it would be so heavily discounted already, but what do I know!

Anyway, if it's legit I may go ahead and purchase one, then see if I can figure out how to put it in my FE, or possibly ask my dealer to figure it out for me [emoji14] I did already ask the parts manager about getting the lighted badge and he said his system shows it as compatible with my FE VIN, but he did "question...if it has a connector on the other end."

Looks like that site is Countryside Volkswagen Inc in Minnesota

There are several like that that are dealer parts departments selling direct on the internet and I have had good luck with the similar ones in the past.

I have bought from 1stVWparts.com and they are Auburn VW in Auburn WA. A lot of dealers have learned that selling a lot of parts at a little over cost and charging a few dollars for shipping is way better than selling one at list price locally. I have had good luck and you can even call them if there is a question or problem. I tend to support them because they are the ones who are learning and adapting to how the model is changing.

 

[Andy at Ross-Tech.com]

Keep in mind that many (most?) local dealers will price-match offers you find on the internet (the total including shipping). I have emailed the parts dept and had them come back with: yep, we can do that price and have it in stock, come get it. At the very least ask for a discount since you won’t get it if you don’t ask.

@theboomr If you decide to buy and you can successfully install, please provide lots of pictures.

Thank you both for the info, good to know! I did already make the mistake of ordering the muddy buddy floor mats from my dealer parts department without asking for a discount or using that 10% that's currently active, although they did give me a $25 discount for having purchased my car there so not the worst. I'll make sure to try price matching in the future.

I most definitely will, if it ever happens!

I've ordered Jetta emblems from China. Parts were fine but they took a longish time to arrive. I've also ordered parts from Riverside VW, Riverside, CA.

 

[ExCivilian]

It's not heavily "discounted," that's a normal up-charge but they aren't price gouging you

Did you decide whether to try to purchase this part? If it's a very simple install I may try it... My wife will think I'm a madman for doing it though

I'm waiting for someone else to install it. I'm thinking that it's not just splicing a wire from an existing led strip but requires a control module and vag-com reprogram.

I reeeeally want to get it, but I think I need to be a little responsible and hold off until I've seen others do it, I don't have the time to try and figure it out myself, nor do I really have the cash to spare right now to just have the dealership figure it out for me either if it is a really simple part swap and wire splice then I might be able to do it myself, but otherwise, I'll have to wait until I can pay the dealer to do it I guess.

Has anyone with a Pro S tried unplugging the illuminated logo? I’m not supposed to take delivery until later this year (Pro S AWD), but I’m really not a fan of illuminated badges.

I’m hoping it can be unplugged with no errors. Can anyone confirm?

Hey, I'd like to trade with you my non-illuminated one. I have 1st edition.

 

[Y2k1258]

So I did buy the lighted badge and took it to the dealership to have it connected to my first edition oh, but the wiring is not in the first edition. They are trying to reach out to Volkswagen to find out what they need to do to connect it. The wiring is not even listed in the system as something they can order. I will update you guys once they come back with how they're going to be able to do it.

Could you please post pictures of the badge?
