VW Golf 8 Variant electric tailgate retrofit package

Significantly upgrade your VW Golf 8 Variant with the original electric tailgate.

Here we provide you with the complete package for retrofitting the original electric trunk / luggage compartment lid in your VW Golf 8 CD Variant

You can open and close the trunk lid automatically without any effort.

The maximum opening height can also be freely adjusted.

The button on the tailgate is simply replaced with the currently installed blind cap.

After briefly plugging it into the very easily accessible OBD diagnostic interface in the driver's footwell, the KECODI coding interface supplied here uses the innovative KECODI that is already pre-configured for you to completely automatically activate the electric tailgate, including parameterization and coding of all control units.

No further activations or even a visit to your VW partner's workshop are necessary; the KECODI completes the complete activation of the electric trunk lid in just a few seconds.
