I have found the correct part number for the latest BCM that will support both rear LED's and the Front DRL LED Xenon's is 1K0 937 087 E Z0K and costs £249.52 inc VAT  :shocked:

If I have this control unit am I better off buying the LED xenon's or will it make no difference?

TBH I'm not a great lover of LED's on the front as I'm mad  :wink:

I wonder what part no. my BCM is? Do you think the dealership could tell me by looking it up for my model or has it to be checked with the naked eye for each individual car?

I was lazy and used VCDS :-)

If I can make the xenon's work ill try to make it a plug and play solution that hopefully won't require coding of any kind.

Using the non-xenon settings with resistors / can cancelling thingys fitted will hopefully mean I can use the main beam signal from the halogen settings to activate the shutters.

Key words being IF and HOPEFULLY  :grin:

^^^ It seams a bit hit and miss Doc which controllers do and don't support the Xenon's, the only thing i am sure of is D and E versions do work, and for LED xenon's you need software index of above 0575 and above.

Asker, you have version F in your car.
