The installation guide for both the plug-and-play and hardwired options has been updated to reflect recent modifications to the harness, addressing some confusion arising from its revisions. You can download the updated guide below. Notably, one change to the hardwire setup is that the fog light can now be enabled on both inner lights and can be isolated to just one light by disconnecting the green wire on one side. Additionally, there is a brief description of the outer connectors, which are not exactly the same but can be modified or adjusted to fit.

The MK8 hardwired taillight harness, which was initially accessible through ACMTechnik, is currently offered on mk6ix Several modifications have been incorporated to ensure a more user-friendly and seamless "plug and play" experience. However, it's important to note that this updated version still requires the installation of four wires to connect to the central electronic control module (J519). For detailed instructions on installation, as well as a direct link to the product, please refer to the following link below It's essential to highlight that this particular hardwired option can only be effectively utilized by implementing a remote dataset update via ACMTechnik. This update mechanism ensures the compatibility and functionality of the taillight harness with the MK8 model.

Extensive testing of the 14-10 Pin (MQB) harness has revealed a crucial requirement for integrating a circuit, rather than a jumper wire to the BCM as mentioned in my previous post on May 8. This integration is necessary for the operation of high beams in the 10-pin halogen configuration. The current high beam channel lacks the necessary power output to effectively operate aftermarket lights without their respective modules. This limitation exists because the channel is specifically engineered to accommodate an OEM shutter that relies on the factory module within the headlight assembly. To overcome this issue, a dedicated circuit has been meticulously developed to ensure the proper functioning of the high beams in the 10-pin halogen configuration. This circuit is specifically designed to deliver the required power supply to the shutter, enabling the aftermarket lights to function correctly. By integrating this circuit into the harness, it guarantees that the shutter receives the adequate power it needs, thereby ensuring flawless operation of the high beams. If you have purchased an older variant of the product and want to ensure the proper functionality of your high beams, we are here to assist you. Please do not hesitate to contact us, and we will promptly provide you with a replacement kit. In addition to the replacement, you will receive revised instructions that outline the necessary steps for coding the harness. Please take note that the product image will remain unaltered until a finalized version is made available within the next few days. We understand the importance of visual representation, and we are working to provide an updated image that accurately reflects the product. Additionally, we would like to inform you that there has been a price increase due to the complexity involved in manufacturing and designing this harness. it is necessary to account for the additional resources and expertise required to produce this harness.

After conducting extensive testing on the 14-10 Pin (MQB) harness, it was discovered that in order to enable the high beams to function properly in the 10-pin halogen configuration, a jumper wire needed to be added to the J519 B connector on specific pins. These pins are listed PDF file along with the appropriate coding to be used. It should be noted, however, that the current high beam channel is not powerful enough to operate the shutter on aftermarket lights. This is because the channel is only designed for an OEM shutter that uses the factory moldule in the headlight. Therefore, the SHUTTER10 and SHUTTER11 channels must be reconfigured to 8FL and 9FL, respectively. By doing so, the proper power supply will be provided to the shutter, ensuring that the high beams function correctly in the 10-pin halogen configuration. If you have purchased an older variant and would like your high beams to function properly, please do not hesitate to contact us. A replacement will be sent out to you along with revised instructions and coding in the PDF file provided below.

It seems that there is an issue with the 14-10 pin harness for the MQB platform, specifically with the high beam. This issue has been brought to my attention and I'm currently working on fixing it. The fix will involve either coding or using a remote wire to the CECM (J519), and an update regarding the resolution will be provided shortly. The fix for this issue will involve either coding or using a remote wire to the CECM (J519), which is the central electronic control module responsible for managing various electrical systems in the car. Coding refers to the process of changing the settings in the car's computer system to address the issue, while a remote wire would involve physically connecting a wire to the CECM to add the specific channel required to get high beams working. It is reassuring to know that the issue is being addressed and that an update regarding the resolution will be provided shortly.
