Here is my list if anyone wants to know more about what I have done to my Cali Ocean 2016. I think I will end up with the SF tuning Panamera full kit on it next, but I have to deal with the minor issue of being made redundant and starting up my own business.. as soon as that's out of the way...
New Retrofit Electric Tailgate Kit.
Hansshow model.
I bough this kit to fit over the Winter to my T6 but no longer own the van.
It sold as seen. It is New, Unused and Unfitted. Still in original box.
Up for Auction on eBay, as no longer needed.
2 Electric Struts
All Cables
ECU Control Box...
Can anyone help recommend someone to fit one of these for me please? I've bought the kit from Pauly but it's not something I'd take on myself.
I'm in South Bucks. Thank you.
Ours needed a proper slam to shut but it was because the striker needed repositioning very slightly - after we did that it was much better. Often when convertors add gubbins to the door it drags it down very slightly and the striker needs repositioning I think.
Having said that, it was still...
I
it is a costed option. My T6.1 Kombi highline has tailgate and sliding door “power-latching” which basically softcloses the doors.
To get the tailgate to actually power-open / power-close by itself on a button press requires a costed option fitted at build or retrofit kit.
My softclose door doesn't beep, but then I did retrofit it. The motor does make some noise, but nowhere near as much noise as someone trying three times to close the door with ever-increasing force...
Depending on what panels/covering you've got around the pillar, it might even be possible to...
...lights front, back and sides to mention just a few, and that’s ignoring the things I have running off 3 piggy back fuses, and the retrofitsoftclose sliding door and the massive hole cut in the roof for the poptop! All this and I was given no exceptions to the cover or comments from the...
OK the story so far, got retrofit kit from china $500 inc shipping, replaced original hinges with electric tailgate version this has helped the tailgate open better, no difference to the closing (as suggested) however this did allow me to add extra weight to the tailgate thinking this would help...

got my retrofit kit for the softclose on the tailgate Thanks Pauly, anyone know what wires in the roof space I need to cut into and or what I'm looking for if I need to test them to identify as I've noticed a lot of cables are just white with numbers on.
also what the pin out's are for the...
This retrofit is proving to be tricky so I wouldn't recommend it to the novice even if you get the kufatec loom.
First of all, the loom doesn't cater for parking aid. It is briefly discussed in this thread but I thought I'd mention that it is a useful feature in case you try to accidentally...
Thank you @Robert and @Stannards , this is very useful.
Even though this thread is very detailed and I have read it many times, install might prove a challenge for me as I have never done any electrics on the car.
I will try the camera installation to see if I can manage this first.
Actually...

Rubber seal is irrelevant as I had it on my factory setup with non electric tailgate.
My Caravel, is an Executive 4Motion plus diff lock also. Its one of the later ones off the line just at the end before the 6.1.
It was a cancelled order and had most of the things that I wanted. All except hill decent, which for me is quite important. I told the dealer that I had seen the...
