Product attributes:

The retrofitting of the original swiveling trailer hitch is possible on all VW Passat B8 models of all body types (Variant, Sedan, alltrack), all years of manufacture (pre-facelift / facelift) and all equipment variants with (PR number: 1D8) or without trailer hitch preparation (PR number: 1D0).

The original pivoting trailer coupling extends when the new button is pressed (this is located in the right trunk panel).

The original system is installed and put into operation as it was at the factory, no "special work" is required as is often the case with some accessory systems, for example the automatic shutdown of the parking aid when towing a trailer, the increase in cooling performance, the opening of the possibly installed electric tailgate, etc. naturally works.

The final activation is done entirely with the included KECODI coding interface!

There is no need for activation by your VW partner using an SVM code or manual coding.

This makes it possible to easily install the original VW Passat B8 electric / automatically pivoting trailer hitch.

Your advantages:

+ The KECODI interface (= the "coding dongle") is not permanently installed but only plugged in briefly for programming (= "activating / coding" your additional function).

+ The operation, i.e. the automatic activation of the retrofit on your vehicle, is convenient, intuitive and easy with the free KECODI!

The APP can be downloaded at any time from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store for Android devices (e.g. smartphone, cell phone, tablet)!

+ Resetting to the factory settings or reactivating the same vehicle is possible at any time!

This means that the factory condition can be easily restored (e.g. when selling the vehicle / returning the lease).

+ Including the free additional functions of reading and deleting error memory as well as the display of vehicle speed, rpm and boost pressure in the KECODI.

+ Upgrades possible! You can also book many more activations for the KECODI interface supplied here at any time after your purchase - see our other offers for your vehicle model.
