Hi all. I'm converting a T5 (2004 AXD) dashboard to a T6 with all the electronics and wiring replaced. I need photos of the T6 with the dashboard removed, I can’t decide exactly how the wires should be routed in the instrument cluster area.
Some photos. Partially removed the original wiring and began installing the wiring from the 2018 T6 California. I will be grateful for help!

If anyone is interested. Installed wiring, interior parts and all electronic units from T6 2016+ in T5 2004 with AXD engine (The engine and its original control unit EDC16U1 remained in place)

You could talk to @AlexJoe as he also has done it.

Yes, almost everything works
Two things that will almost certainly be impossible to get to work:
- Immobilizer
- Adaptive cruise control radar
If you need help or details, write to me, I will help
 
Used to love doing dash conversions, I've done a few in the past, corrado into mk2 golf, mk4 golf into mk3 golf, polo 6n2 gti into polo 6n. Nothinh better than a massive nest of wiring to sort through, very satisfying. Good luck with the swap.
