I’m not sure if there is a spare ground on the controller or if an existing one has to be used. - Interior fabric adhesive tape - Fabric Adhesive Tape for wiring looms and harnesses
- Trim Removal Tools
- Selection of heat shrink tubing (3-5mm), soldering iron/blowtorch, solder
- Vagcom/VCDS to code the door (this can be done before or after the install)
Volkswagen Golf & Jetta Door Controller Information Mark V has information on the door controllers. This guide will be based on the install in my March 2008 build MY08 GTI.
Pin 14 is the 12v for the Door Warning Light for older controllers, at some stage Gen 3 controllers were used and pin 6. There are 18 pins and a 16 pin connector housing.
The rear doors are connected via LIN bus so are programmed slightly differently to the front doors by requiring an extra step in the Central Convenience Controller – 46.
Open the Central Convenience Controller – 46 and select “Coding”
Go to Byte 17 and enable Bit 0.
The second part of the programming is the same as for the front doors.
Open the door controller – In this guide Rear Right – 72 and select “coding”
Add 64 to the existing number to add on Door Exit/Warning Lights.
if your controller has pin 14 free which should be the 12v for the entry light, pin number 4 is the ground, i wired it up
pin 14 for the 12v and Pin 4 for the ground, everything works fine hope this helps
What year was yours? I have an 07, which should be Gen 3 controller. The table in the link doesn’t really tell me which pins I need to wire up.
My rear door controller on my 2004 car didn’t support this function. I had to wire it directly to the rear door lock wiring. I had to join a wire to the wire from pin 10 on the door controller wire and for the earth from the wire from pin 4 on the lock. The outer door skin needs to be removed.
I have try this, but it does not work with my 2006 Golf V TDI.:(
My connector housing is 18 pin, and pin 14 is not free.
Does anybody know the correct terminal type used in 2007? My controller is 1K5 839 401 H. It is an 18 terminal connector, pin 14 is free, but the 000979018 wire is the incorrect wire. I’m pretty sure it is the smaller clamp like terminal, that slips over blade style pins. Unfornately I had the unit all wired up, soldered, shrink wrapped, and tapped up, ready to install. Now I have to figure out the correct wire type and start over.
000 979 019 E
thats the correct wire for my rear door head, heres my write up. hope this helps
