Hello all,
I am looking at purchasing a upgraded BCM for my 2016 Mk4 Caddy SWP panel van.
Its a Startline so only has a low BCM, the part number fitted is - 5K0 937 085 AD
From doing a search on this forum it looks like I need one ending in 086 or 087, preferably 087.
My question is, does it have to be from a Caddy or will a Golf/Touran/Scirocco/Passat etc. fit and code?
It seams to be a minefield on part numbers and prices - I appreciate all of them will need coding.
Some examples I've found.
5K0 937 087 AK ZLG = £513.60 Brand new replacement - from VW.
5K0937087AR Z0R = £229.04 brand new Passat 16 > from Deutscheparts.
5K0 937 087 AF = £60 Used 2016 Scirocco from ebay.
So the prices vary greatly.
Would appreciate some advise on what one to go for!
Reason for changing the BCM is I am adding MFSW - Heated seats - Rear PDC, next on the list is a highline dash.....but that will be another thread lol. I may well be upgrading the headlights adding fog lights etc.
Thanks

Hello,
5K0 937 087 AK ZLG is for a caddy, you could look for a 2nd hand one on ebay.
5K0 937 087 AF Scirocco might work, you would have to compare Scirocco and Caddy J519 wiring diagrams to make sure. I had a quick look and the pinouts I checked all matched.
I have a 5K0 937 086 AA and it does all the things you are looking to do.

Re: Which BCM to buy?
thanks @FishermansFriend - Just started reading your build - awesome van!!
Thanks for your input, I have read mixed answers on various forums that BCM's can be mixed between models and some say no problem others say its a big no no!
Thanks for providing a part number for the one you have - that's a great help! I'll keep an eye out for one of these.
Would be interested to see if there is a list of compatible BCM's anywhere - found one for steering control modules on the Ross-Tech site but no equivalent for BCM's - guessing its not so easy!
