| Towing Recognition Control Module
-J345-, Retrofitting |
|
| Retrofitting a Towing Recognition Control Module -J345-
approved by Volkswagen is possible, but it can pose problems due
to the connection with the vehicle CAN data bus. The control
module must then be coded in “Guided Fault Finding” using the
→ Vehicle diagnostic tester. |
 Note
| Installation of control module solutions that are available
from third parties and are not approved by Volkswagen is not
recommended. Installing such equipment voids the warranty.
Generally, these are connected to the tail lamps and not
integrated into the vehicle electrical system. This can result
in a misdiagnosis from the lamp monitoring function or to
malfunctions. Also, dimmed bulbs such as combined brake and tail
lamps cannot be activated. |
