Requirements

Gateway

The Gateway (aka. Diagnostic Interface for Databus OR CAN-Gateway) is responsible for passing Messages from one Control Module to another, older versions of the Gateways were not compatible and caused the Databus to stay active even with the Ignition turned OFF which resulted in excessive Battery Draw and failure. To identify if your Gateway is compatible, check the (Software) Part Number and the Software Version of the Control Module shown in the Identification provided by VCDS (for example in an Auto-Scan).

Address 19: CAN Gateway        Labels: 1K0-907-530.lbl
Part No SW: 1K0 907 530 K    HW: 1K0 907 951 
Component: J533__Gateway   H12 0178  

In this Example the Software Part Number is 1K0-907-530-K and the Software Version is 0178, now check the following List if your Gateway is considered NOT compatible - all part numbers NOT listed here can be considered compatible.


Control Module Part Number Software Version Compatible Notes
1K0-907-530-A 0020 No Update available
1K0-907-530-B 0050/0070 No Update available
1K0-907-530-C 0080 No Update available
1K0-907-530-D 0100 No Update available
1K0-907-530-E 0110 No Update available
1K0-907-530-F 0120 No Update available
1K0-907-530-G 0130/0140 No Update available
1K0-907-530-H 0150 No Update available
1K0-907-530-J 0160 No Update available
1K0-907-530-K 0021 No Replacement only
1K0-907-530-K 0170 No Update available
1K0-907-530-K 0178 Yes -
1K0-907-530-P 0191/0192 No Replacement only


All Modules which Part Number has not been listed in the Table above are considered to be compatible. Those Part Numbers & Software Versions listed with the Note "Update available" can be updated to 1K0-907-530-K @ 0178, this often saves Money/Work which a Replacement of the Module would cause. The Update is NOT available in the US, all Rest of World VW/Audi, Seat and Skoda Dealers should have access to it.

Installation & Wiring

Additional Information can be found in the Repair Manuals, the Wiring Diagrams, the Parts Catalog and/or the Instructions included in the Retrofitting Kit. In addition a very nice How-To can be found at TDI-Club, it covers the mechanical, electrical and diagnostic steps as well.

Configuration

The following Activations are necessary to ensure that the newly fitted parts are properly recognized and are ready to use.

  • Update the Installation List in the Gateway (J533 / #19).
    • Register the newly added 37 - Navigation Control Module, in case you had a Navigation System installed before the Retrofit this step may not be necessary. Address 56 - Radio should also be activated in case there was no Radio installed prior to the Retrofit.
    • If the vehicle had a factory installed 0F - Radio (Digital) module it will need to be removed from the Gateway installation list and unplugged/removed from the vehicle.
  • Update the Navigation System (J506 / #37) Coding.
    • Due to different Control Modules and Equipment in the Car the actual Coding Table is not shown here but will automatically be used by the Long Coding Assistant once you access the Function using VCDS.
    • Make sure to enter a Plausible WorkShopCode (WSC) like 12345-123-12345 on the Coding Screen, new or reflashed RNS510 units may have a WSC 00000-000-00000 stored which results in a 01042 - Control Module Not Coded Fault Code.


If you are having trouble finding/calculating the proper Coding using the Long Coding Assist please Contact us directly. Make sure to include a complete Diagnostic Protocol (Auto-Scan) from the Car and state which steps/work you have performed yet.
