Retrofitting Golf Mark 5 GTI with Dynamic Chassis Control
The DCC was first introduced on the Golf platform from the Golf 6 version. In Singapore, all the GTI model came with the DCC installed originally from factory. It is an option for the other Golf 6 model to have the DCC installed.
Having experienced the incredible versatility of the DCC on the Passat and the test drive on the Golf 6 GTI, I definitely want it on my 2009 Golf GTI Mark 5.
On the Golf 6, the controller is mounted on the right rear corner. Here is a picture of the DCC controller mounted on a Golf 6 GTI
