About the Volkswagen Passat Dash Panel
The Volkswagen Passat has been sold in the US across several distinct generations since 1990. The dash panel is the main interior assembly across the front of the cabin, housing the instrument cluster opening, HVAC vents, climate controls, infotainment surround, glove box mounting, and passenger airbag housing. Passat dash panels differ significantly across generations. The B5 (1998 to 2005) used a soft touch upper panel that becomes sticky on aged examples in hot climates. The B6 (2006 to 2010) introduced a more horizontal layout with chrome accents. The NMS B7 (2012 to 2019, Chattanooga built for the US market) used cost optimized materials with hard plastic. The B8 (2020 to 2022) had a simplified premium look with optional Digital Cockpit instrument cluster.
Our used Volkswagen Passat dash panel comes from a salvage donor vehicle. Before shipping we confirm the donor generation against your vehicle, document the color, and inspect the panel for cracks at the HVAC vents and around the passenger airbag opening which are the most common stress points on aged Passat dashes.
Signs Your Passat Dash Panel May Need Replacement

- Cracks around the HVAC vents or passenger airbag opening
- Dash separation at seams from sun exposure
- Severe sun fading or discoloration that detail work cannot recover

Which Passat generation does this fit?
The Passat has been sold in the US across the B5 (1998 to 2005), B6 (2006 to 2010), NMS B7 (2012 to 2019), and B8 (2020 to 2022) generations. Call (240) 301-0095 with your Passat year and trim before ordering. We will confirm which generation we have in stock matches your vehicle.
What color will I receive?
The donor vehicle color is documented before shipping. Common Passat dash colors include black, beige two tone, and titan black. If color match is critical, confirm with our team in writing before payment.
Will the airbag from my old dash transfer?
The passenger airbag is a separate component bolted into the dash. It typically transfers from your old dash to the replacement. Confirm with your installer that your airbag is in good condition before installation since the dash itself does not include the airbag.
Is this OEM or aftermarket?
Used OEM dash panel pulled from a salvage donor Volkswagen Passat vehicle. Genuine Volkswagen part with factory mounting points and trim cutouts.
How will it ship?
Freight pallet shipping, free to all 50 states, typical transit 5 to 10 business days. Dash panels are large and fragile, so we use bulky cardboard with foam corner protection.
