UPDATE Retrofitting E-kits for towbars – Coding of vehicles from the Volkswagen Group

UPDATE

Back in August we informed you that new vehicles from the Volkswagen Group (VAG) were experiencing problems with vehicle coding when a trailer coupling is retrofitted with a kit.

We now have an update from Erich Jaeger, as they have found a solution for existing part numbers without FLEX function.

If one of the towbar wiring kits listed below cannot be activated in a newer vehicle model, you can upgrade it with the new VAG/MQB-FLEX adapter E722102:

• E748242
• E747431
• E748503
• E737342
• E737103

With the VAG/MQB-FLEX adapter, ERICH JAEGER offers a cost-effective solution for fully functional trailer lighting and flasher failure indicator. Only some comfort functions, such as the automatic deactivation of the rear fog light or the parking aid, cannot be realized without coding.

E722102 stock is due in December.

The following JaegerFLEX part numbers can be used as alternatives for the codes above:

• E748342
• E748343
• E737334
• E737343
