BCM upgrade

[mfourc]

Hi All, I've a BCM ending 087 and want to upgrade to 090. can this upgraded BCM come from any VW or does it have to be off of a Transporter? I know that I'll need to match the end letter for the keyfob frequency etc and copy across the settings in VCDS etc, just curious of the T5 / T6 had a different BCM to that on other VW cars?

It will need to be a transporter BCM as they all have different part numbers etc
What vehicle do you have, i thought all T6s have 090 BCMs ?

Hi, this ones a T5.1 2013 highline that I've converted to a camper a while ago. still plenty of life in the bus so wanted to make a few upgrades to her.

like TPMS, rain sensitive wipers etc.

I was going to ask what you were looking to add..... But you answered above.

So you have a T5.1 2013 and want to fit a T6 BCM to add the extra bits.

....

Isn't the BCM part of the CP security system? With the clocks and keys? (So tied together) - or am I thinking of something else?

I believe that’s the instrument cluster that tied to the immobiliser. The key does need to be re coded for the new bcm thou

T6 uses the following BCMs:
7E0 937 090
7E0 937 090 B
7E0 937 090 C
7E0 937 090 D
7E0 937 090 E

Last 2 variants D & E can't have remote control paired via simple VCDS adaptation process.
C variant seems to be the best choice but B also provides the same retrofitting capability.

Thanks Robert. Now to find a B or C variant
