GUIDE: Kufatec CH/LH Polo 6R

[PoloDave]

I have the Kufatec kit lying around for so long now that I'm just going to pay the €90 extra and have a vag specialist install it and get it all over with.

Same here PoloDave!

I guess I'm just a little nervous that I'll start and then discover I'm not sure what to do with several wires (just like what you've encountered iigx).

Please let me know how you go with Kufatec getting back to you. I'll join the fun next week!

Thank you for those diagrams, that maps it out easier!

I've brought a Terminal tool off Ebay - Rytool Wire Terminal Tools SET | eBay

Going to re-attempt this work once it arrives.

Thank you sir, just bought the same kit!

I've done some shabby jobs without these tools, time to do it right!

Thank you once again mate!

So i've got the thing wired up except for connectivity to the BCM.

Anyone able to advise how the frick you remove the trim piece under the steering wheel ???? I need to some how get that off to rewire the light module cables from the Autolights kit.

I'm stumped at the moment. Oh and I tried Erwin. It displays how to remove EVERY TRIM PIECE EXCEPT THIS ONE

[iigx]

YAY i have the BCM out!

[iigx]

Further progress... BCM removed and I have the two "A" & "B" BCM connectors, however now I have to seperate them both into halves as pins 37 and 41 that the Kufatec document advises are in the middle and it is impossible to depin them otherwise.

The biggest pain and time sink that has gone into this so far has been the position... It would be MUCH easier to remove the whole drivers side chair, to attempt this.... my back hurts!!

[iigx]

And finished!

Hands are completely worked to the bone, nearly every finger has cuts - but all installed.

The biggest gotcha with this kit has to be wiring up the BCM. Getting to that from under the drivers seat is just an absolute nightmare. If you want to attempt this by yourself I highly reccomend removing the drivers side seat. Getting Pin 43 out of harness B, and 6 out of A is nothing short of impossible!

I have yet to reconnect the BCM to the main A&B harnesses - going to do that shortly though. Hopefully the BCM doesnt explode!

[iigx]

Here is the beast!!

[iigx]

ALL DONE

It works, except now I need someone with a VCDS so I can do the LH/CH & Auto lights coding...!



Thanks muchly to gavs and readerr0r for their help!!

I'll try and write up an english guide for what I had to do for those interested. Realistically if you have the right tools and remove the drivers seat you can do it in 2 hours. If you don't, expect a 10+hr job, lots of sore fingers, and a f**ked back!!
