It's been done, so I would assume that there are some people out there that actuall wrote down what they did.

Best I can think of is to get the schematics for both vehicles, and modify the one for the cabby with the engine (and computer) info from the Passat.

Then ust make the connections according to your schematis.

Yes it is easier said than done.
