Retrofitting the Easy Open feature in a Skoda Superb 2 requires more than just installing the necessary hardware. This article delves into the VCDS coding required to activate the hands-free tailgate opening functionality. While the hardware can be sourced from a compatible vehicle like a 2011 VW Sharan, successful implementation hinges on correctly coding the KESSY and BCM modules.
This retrofit project began with sourcing a new KESSY module with VIP function, antennas, and the antenna module from a 2011 VW Sharan. The key challenge was adapting the KESSY module to the Superb. Dealership programming proved impossible, requiring direct chip access using an EEPROM programmer to embed the Superb’s VIN. Post-programming, the KESSY functioned flawlessly, recognizing “kicks” registered by the leg sensors.
Despite the functional KESSY and error-free antenna operation, the tailgate remained unresponsive. The missing piece appears to be enabling the “Easy Open” option within the MFD menu, likely controlled by specific coding within the BCM/KESSY modules.
The core question is: what specific VCDS Codierung (coding) adjustments are necessary to activate Easy Open on a Skoda Superb 2? The provided autoscan from the Superb reveals the module details, but a comparative autoscan from a 2011 Sharan with factory-equipped Easy Open would be invaluable. This would provide a clear picture of the coding differences and point to the necessary modifications. The KESSY module in the Sharan had a coding of 030C0C and ended with the letter C in the module number, mirroring the Superb’s module.
Below is the autoscan from the Skoda Superb 2. Note that while the KESSY module from the Sharan was not scanned, its coding (030C0C) and module number (ending in C) were identical to the Superb’s. Analyzing this data and comparing it to a Sharan’s autoscan might illuminate the required coding changes.

End-------------------------(Elapsed Time: 02:47)--------------------------Successfully implementing Easy Open on the Skoda Superb 2 hinges on deciphering the correct VCDS coding. Sharing autoscans from Sharans equipped with this feature would greatly assist in identifying the precise modifications needed. This collaborative effort could unlock the secrets to retrofitting Easy Open and provide a valuable resource for the Skoda community. Any insights into the necessary coding adjustments within the BCM or KESSY modules are highly appreciated.
