Where is the remote control receiver of Volkswagen Lavida located?
2 Answers
The receiver of Volkswagen Lavida is located under the steering wheel, which is the CBD. The following is the relevant introduction of Volkswagen Lavida: 1. Exterior design: Volkswagen Lavida Qihang is a model launched by SAIC Volkswagen, originally known as the Lavida Classic Edition. The SAIC Volkswagen Lavida Qihang is based on the previous generation model, with little change in the overall shape, but some adjustments in details. The biggest difference lies in the shape of the front bumper. The front bumper of SAIC Volkswagen Lavida Qihang is divided into three parts, more contoured, and a chrome decoration strip running through the front of the car is added, which improves the visual effect. 2. Configuration: The car is equipped with ESP electronic stability system, RKA intelligent tire pressure monitoring, MKB multiple collision prevention, front airbags for driver and passenger, PM2.5 dust filter, reversing radar and other configurations. On this basis, the high-end model is also equipped with LED daytime running lights, cruise control, multifunction steering wheel, leather/fabric spliced seats, electric sunroof and other configurations. 3. Power: SAIC Volkswagen Lavida Qihang continues to be equipped with a 1.5L engine, with a maximum power of (112Ps) and a maximum torque of 145Nm. The transmission system is matched with a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I've been repairing cars for over a decade. The location of the Lavida's remote receiver actually depends on the model year. For older models like the 2012 version, it's hidden inside the B-pillar trim panel on the driver's side - you'll find that little black box after removing the interior panel. In newer Lavida models such as the 2019 version, they moved it to the headliner behind the rearview mirror, right next to the rain sensor. Last time when I helped a customer with a malfunctioning issue, I discovered the receiver is susceptible to interference. If there's a high-power charger or radar detector in the car, the signals get messed up. When the key fob doesn't respond, it's more efficient to eliminate interference sources before checking the location. For DIY attempts, get some plastic pry tools to carefully remove the clips, but be cautious not to damage the wiring harness.
