I have been running a **Waterbox AIO 25 Peninsula** for a while now and wanted to share my equipment and automation setup that keeps everything running smoothly. This build focuses on reliability, clean aesthetics, and smart control using **Home Assistant**.

##### [VW 2013 Touareg ACC Fixed!](https://jeepmonkey.com/blog/vw-2013-acc-fixed-2)

##### [VW 2013 Touareg - Replacing Headlight Bulb - what a pain!](https://jeepmonkey.com/blog/vw-2013-touareg-replacing-headlight-bulb-what-a-pain)

Replacing a headlight bulb shouldn’t be this  **hard**.
