• installation occurs at standard mounting points without the need for modifications,
• airbag system connectors are compatible with the factory wiring harness,
• module operating parameters are tailored to the airbag controller algorithms in the Jetta A6.

The product is identified by the SKU identifier in the inventory system, which facilitates its unambiguous identification and selection based on vehicle data.

Before being introduced for sale, modules of this type are routinely subjected to visual inspection and verification of housing and connector integrity.

By retaining its factory design, the module:

• enables restoration of the original airbag system functionality,
• ensures consistency with factory service procedures for the Volkswagen brand,
• allows for seamless integration with the vehicle's existing safety system.

Selection by Numbers and Vehicle Placement

The module is intended for installation in the front – right side area, meaning on the driver's side of the steering wheel. Proper part selection is facilitated by the OEM part number and available interchangeable numbers, which allow verification of compatibility with the specific vehicle equipment version.

For certainty of fitment, it is recommended to compare catalog data and consult with a mechanic or a service center specializing in the Volkswagen brand, especially in cases of model year or equipment version differences.
