Yes, you can tell by looking at the product number sticker. It will have the revision.

The hard part of the whole job is getting the foot well panel off. You have to disconnect the light wiring harness and ODBII port from the panel.

If you are reasonably nimble I've found sitting upside down in the seat is the easiest way to see up there. The location can change around depending on the model year. The top clip may be hard to reach with your fingers.

BTW, don't replace the gateway unless you have access to VCDS. Your old values will need to be recoded and recoded to the new gateway. And if you have VCDS you can scan the controller to find out the version you have.

The gateway is like a router that lets all the other controlling modules communicate. Weird things can happen if not coded properly.

That's a tough one. I had to upgrade my can gateway to support a 9w7 Bluetooth controller. I have a 2007 model and got a used one from a 2010 Tiguan for $40.

I think as long as the tech was made on or before the year of the gateway it should be good. I think it's 08 or 07 modes and earlier that usually have issues.

But make sure you don't do the swap until you have somebody with vcds to help. It requires a bit of coding to make the new one work.

Hmm, I tried posting this the other day, but I guess it didn't post.

This product can stop the battery drain, if you have the highline cluster. Also adds a bunch of useful information.

I have a variation of that but mine is just to support the Bluetooth controller on the red highline.

It's a good company and you can message the software developers directly. The product seem popular in Europe.
