Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Yes correct. I'm assuming you also do not have the easy open tailgate too.

    With the semi conductor (chip shortage) issue, VW chose to on some models stop various standard features.

    On Tiguan's built from some time in 2022 and probably most of 2023, the easy open and blind spot features were missing as standard features but could be had as an option. If you wanted to wait you could order the option.

    My April build MY23 Elegance does not have the easy open/blind spot feature (they apparently share the same wiring loom /chip module) but wasn't a show stopper getting into one quickly,

    My wife's Elegance MY21 (May 2021 build) has both as standard and was before VW announced the change.

      If there is no black rectangle approx. 2cm x 4 cm on the cowling of the wing mirrors facing the windows when in the open position then the hardware is definitely missing.

      This is due to the semiconductor issue I refer to in my reply to Scooby2's post

        It appears the 2023 Tiguan models have a lesser hardware configuration than the 2019 models. Dealer didn't make that clear when we traded for a newer 2023 model. The lack of profile is annoying. Vehicle sees two keys but not two people.

            • Any chance this can be updated for the later mk2 models such as a 2023 mk2 etc "not to be confused with the 2024 model"
