had a look. its 6d for electric tailgate, no options in adaptation and coding is blanked out.

The BCM on C6's are very old, I think my 04 polo has just as much coding options as this.

Was the superb long coding?

Sorry I meant 6D (fat fingers)

The Superb was in adaptations not the long coding, I will however scan it over the weekend to see if any of the long coding changed.

Here is a screenshot of my MY11 (Dec 2010) Superb adaptation, you are looking for:
“Close rear lid” you are looking to activate both number (4)’s
(4)-Activation using rear lid remote unlocking switch - Tap function for closing
(4)-Activation using rear lid opening button in remote key - Tap function for closing

(The ‘Tap’ function enables the tailgate to open/close with one touch of the button, the ‘Touch’ function requires you to keep the button pressed)

My long coding did not change after I made the adaptation changes.

Image

To summarise, from the factory my tailgate opened (fully) from the remote and the button inside the car, but to close it you had to press the button on the tailgate… it would not close any other way, now it also closes (fully) with the remote, the button inside the car and the button on the tailgate, this was done purely with VCDS coding… no hardware was added, despite Kufatec stating to several owners that it was not possible by coding alone.

HTH.

So forgive me for being thick but do I need to buy the €109 bit of kit or do some coding?

Box fitted today, took about an hour.
Hardest bit was finding somewhere for the box to go, in the end decided on putting it in the roof lining forward of the hatch.
Also, on both drive units the main screw holding in the motor / control units were no where near tight. One was about 4 turns slack!
So might be worth checking everything is tight. My tailgate now closes a lot quieter - almost silent.

As for the black box - does what it says on the tin - although I have still not fully figured it out.
I can get it to close by pressing the door unlock button on the key 4 times. Instrucitons say 2 presses??
Also, the main button in the door will close the hatch - hold up for 3 seconds and let go and it closes.

I assume thats correct?

Figured it out - it takes about a second after the 2 presses for it to close - so you press twice and then wait a second and it closes. :bigwave:

The kit will certainly work, but a bit of coding may also work, until someone tries is out then none can be sure. (we were told by Kufatec the Superb could not be done by coding alone, this has since been proved wrong).

Have you got VCDS, if not I can let you use mine to try and see if it can be coded.
