"Variant" = wagon
We only get / got the Golf "Sportwagen" here in NAR, but in other markets, there's the Passat Variant along with the Golf Variant; and of course the Arteon "Shooting Brake" (also a wagon aka variant).

It's not connected with the LARGE plug; it's connected with the SMALLER plug behind the HVAC panel.
Hi, I bought the kit you showed me on AliBaba, it arrived in a week.
There are no instructions in the box. in addition to the ones I pasted in the previous post.
Can you tell me what this yellow cable without connectors is for?
Thank you

Can't remember off-hand. I do remember there being a wire that wasn't needed in my installation.
Take a look at how large it is and what end of the loom it's at - looks like it might be Terminal30 (continuous power) wire (?).

Contact the seller at Alibaba - they were pretty good about getting back to me with answers to questions. But like I mentioned above, the instructions are sparse, so you have to kinda feel your way through the installation.
(I just ordered another set from them for my wife's A3 e-tron.

)that yellow cable is part of the cables that connect the can bus adapter to the air conditioning... I hope it's not a non-plug and play connection
I have found another purple cable that I don't understand where I need to connect..

If you have a current iPhone (and I'm guessing Android?), the photo app will offer to translate things like that.
This is what I got from my iPhone on that wire:
I have no idea what that means either.
That was the one I was thinking of above - I specifically asked "Vera" (representative at the AliB seller) and that was the one where she said "not all wires are used on all cars".
IIRC, the yellow one in your initial question is quite a heavy-gauge wire (compared to most of the others, indicating that it's for power).

To say it's "plug and play" is over-simplifying the process. But with that said, in general, figuring out the wiring was pretty obvious, too, once I understood what the purpose of everything was (which, yes - took me some time, but wiring / electrical is not exactly a strength of mine. )
And in general, if you get all of the wiring correct, there's no extra coding or adaptations that need to be done.
To allay your fears, the CAN connection at the back of the HVAC panel was fairly fool-proof and straightforward - unplug, put adapter from AliB wiring loom in there, replug ==> done!

Haha - I asked Vera that exact question.
Turns out, that's a feature, not a bug: The buzzer (more of a "beep") is built right into the control box, so there's no need to wire in yet another thing. It's more than loud enough.
Once you get everything wired up, be sure to follow the instructions for "pairing" the buttons with the box (I think it's just like press-and-hold for 5sec or something). And then you can also adjust the height as well as the speed at which the gate opens and closes. And that speed is indeed noticeable. Of the six available speeds, I think I'm currently on #5 - just about the fastest one. But play around with it and see which you prefer.
