VW Passat B8 Variant electric tailgate / luggage compartment lid retrofit package

Significantly upgrade your VW Passat B8 Variant with the original electric tailgate.

Here we supply you with the retrofit package for installing the original electric trunk / luggage compartment lid in your VW Passat B8 Variant.

After pressing a button on the remote control key or the new button in the driver's door, the tailgate opens completely electrically.

After pressing the new tailgate button, the tailgate closes completely electrically.

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

Of course, anti-pinch protection is already integrated into the system at the factory - the maximum opening height is also freely adjustable.

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 APP, which is already pre-configured for you, to completely automatically unlock the electronically opening tailgate.

No further activations or even a visit to your VW partner's workshop are necessary; the KECODI completes the full activation of the rear view camera in just a few seconds.
