I personally did the splitting beneath the C pillar interior trims.

You need to join the signal wires from all four of the rear light modules (according to the diagrams here) into a single one and lead that one to BCM.

It seems that my case is neverending... 😅 I've installed the lights and wiring and I'm REALLY happy with the way my car looks, even without the trim bars. HOWEVER after connecting everything to the 6th pin of the rightmost connector of the BCM (it's a CG one, my car was assembled during the first weeks of 2019) nothing changed - the main lights just turn on and blinkers do two quick slides on car's opening. I decided to put all the hardware and trims together before changing the coding and it's still in progress - does that make any difference?

I'm quite sure that CG is the hardware revision, probably the last pre-fl one, and thus the one providing only the opening animation. Speaking about the main topic, I finally assembled my adapters and I plan to attempt the wiring soon, hopefully this week. Does anyone have any suggestions or tips? At the moment my plan is to follow the attached page from the service manual in order to disassemble the side trims of the boot. I have a bit of experience with wiring the lid and getting from there to the MIB area after retrofitting the rvc, but getting from tail lights to those bloody rubber culverts by the hinges remains a bit of a mystery to me at the moment.

Yep, the time part is the most difficult one to arrange. I only managed to find some to figure out and order the terminals for the taillights adapters today. Good luck with the BCM - hopefully some nice new options aside from the closing animation will become available. 😉

I've had my pACC coded remotely and aside from having to maintain the battery level the whole experience wasn't half bad.

I'm totally good with partial functionality for the time being. Once we know how that BCM retrofit mentioned above goes, I'll have the cable ready if I decide to also go with it.

Thanks!

I meant the type of the pin. From the way the socket looks I assume it's female. Could that be 000979133?

Hello again, kind fellow Superb fans. Does anyone by chance know what terminal is needed for that BCM pin 6 connection?

Hmm. Can those wires from all four taillight modules be joined and routed to the front as one? I've had to disassemble half of the interior while installing the RVC and I'd rather avoid doing that again.

I see. And are there any other gains from such replacement? Wouldn't I also have to upgrade/replace something else?

Thanks. I have a 5Q0937084CG one, so the same as yours, I suppose. Sounds like too big an effort, sliding turn signals will have to be enough. 😅

But that BCM connection will gain me nothing without updating the BCM itself, right?

It's just the fade-out animation after locking the car, right? The normal sliding turn signals and fade-in opening ones are going to work even without that, right?

Yes, that's why I assumed two per side are a way to go. But the diagrams only seem to be routing one per side and doing some magic with some side connectors in the boot. If there's no way of clarifying that, I'll just use two new wires - not much of difference between doing one and two after all.

Hello, fellow Superb fans. After seeing the uninspiring exterior of Mk4 I finally decided to upgrade my taillights to 2019+ ones. I decided to go AlVal's way in terms of removing the trim - so far it looks promising (I'm considering painting that stripe black though in order to hide the alignment holes for the trim). I've been wondering though, is AlVal's set of diagrams the best available resource for the wiring? I'd rather be safe than sorry and avoid disassembling half of my boot before I'm sure everything is ready. It isn't possible to contact this retrofit's pioneer himself, so would it be possible for someone here to clarify some things for me? 1) What's the business with that "should be a cable already joining the indicators to save bringing these over bootlid" part? Is there an unused cable going to the inner cluster that may be appropriated for that sync signal? I initially assumed one needs to lead two wires per side from outer clusters to inner ones - for indicator sync and reverse. 2) There're also those "maybe" comments around the reverse cable. Any idea about those? 3) And finally, do I understand correctly that the fuse box connector may be safely ignored since it's responsible for CH/LH animations with FL BCM module? Thank you in advance for all possible help. If I missed some links/responses on my way then forgive me my ignorance and kindly point them out to me. 😅
