    Retrofitting powered Tailgate

    A lot of you who considered this retrofit was convinced that BCM needs to be upgraded but this is not required as all T6 BCMs and T5FL(2010-2015) are compatible with electric tailgate. To clarify, BCM is all in one unit(power supply unit, central electronics, CAN gateway & battery regulator). Up...

    T6 Bluebell - Kombi To Multivan/camper

    In May 2018, I went for a used (6month old, 4k miles) vehicle as the spec was so close to what I wanted and I believe I got it for a superb price. According to the dealer – the previous owner had bought x6 Transporters last year for his business and this vehicle was his – he returned it after...

    Electric Tailgate - Video!

    I am interested in retrofiting the electric control of the lid on my T6 it seems that the component is not much needed if you have power latching for tailgate (2x drive unit, 2x lid hinge, control unit for tailgate, warning buzzer and a few other things) but I do not know if there is a need to...

    Retrofitting powered Tailgate

    You are right @Pauly these ones are for the electric tailgate but in this case there is only need for making some cut outs. Basically THERE IS NO NEED TO CHANGE THE TAILGATE for the purpose of this retrofit! So @andys you are in again!;)

    Request Info From Owners

    After browsing the T6 forum for over year, I said to myself I would write an in-depth spec list with my considerations/decisions when I took the plunge… Last month, I went for a used (6month old, 4k miles) vehicle as the spec was so close to what I wanted and I believe I got it for a superb...

    Barn-door To Tailgate Conversion

    4) Wiring the tailgate to the van. By default, when the barn doors are unlocked, a pulse signal is sent from the BCM to the lock which tells an actuator to move some rods in to place; these connect with the handle, allowing the handle to mechanically pull on the latch and open the door. The...

    Tailgate - opening from inside?

    No you wont, you need an electric tailgate for those functions, they use different keyfobs with extra buttons and different parts on vehicle etc etc its complicated and not possible (unless you spend a couple grand retrofitting electric tailgate!)

    Electric Tailgate - Video!

    I was impressed in your other thread how you figured out how to retrofit the electric latching lock on the tailgate ... I would never have guess that it's the striker plate with the motor in it, but on checking yesterday that is indeed how it works, very clever. I don't necessarily need park...
