controllers. This guide will be based on the install in my March 2008 build MY08 GTI.

Pin 14 is the 12v for the Door Warning Light for older controllers, at some stage Gen 3
controllers were used and pin 6. There are 18 pins and a 16 pin connector housing.

The rear doors are connected via LIN bus so are programmed slightly differently to the front
doors by requiring an extra step in the Central Convenience Controller 46.

Open the Central Convenience Controller 46 and select Coding

Go to Byte 17 and enable Bit 0.

The second part of the programming is the same as for the front doors.
