I had the instrument cluster speaker go out on my 2018 Tiguan.  The speaker is what makes the blinkers click sounds and seatbelt dings and whatnot.   In addition to not being able to hear alerts and the blinkers, the car will also disable things like cruise control and emergency braking.

VW's solution is to sell you a $2,000 whole new instrument cluster.

An Italian company makes a clone for $100.

I'm way cheaper than either of those options for what this speaker does, so I designed an adapter to fit a cheap $4 Amazon speaker in there instead.  Link to speaker, but any 4ohm ~3W 40mm speaker might fit:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LN8ONG4

Just needs some M3 heat inserts and short M3 flat heads.  I cut the wire/connector off the old speaker and soldered on the new one.   Plugged it in and everything is back up and running like it never happened.

I included the Solidworks assembly in case anyone want to modify it.  Happy trails!
