Where is the reverse radar module of Golf 6 located?

Golf 6's reverse radar module is located beneath the interior trim panel on the side of the trunk. If you need to replace the reverse radar module, you will have to remove the trunk's interior trim panel. The reverse radar, also known as the reverse collision avoidance radar or parking assist device, is a safety aid for parking or reversing. It consists of ultrasonic sensors, a controller, and a display. The Golf 6 is a compact car from Volkswagen, equipped with three types of engines: a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine, a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, and a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine. The front suspension of the Golf 6 uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a torsion beam non-independent suspension.
The reverse radar module of the Golf 6 is usually hidden in the trunk area, often located behind the left or right trim panel. I've driven this car myself, and once when the radar stopped working, I opened the trunk and pried off the left interior panel to find a small black box connected to several wiring harnesses—that should be the module. The location is quite well-designed, situated in a dry area to avoid exposure to rain and dust. If you're trying to find it yourself, remember to disconnect the positive terminal of the car battery first, then use a plastic pry tool to carefully remove the trim panel without damaging the clips. Additionally, the rear of the module is close to the bumper to minimize wiring length and reduce the risk of failure. I recommend checking the connections periodically for looseness to prevent malfunctions while reversing. If you can't locate it, consult the owner's manual or seek professional help.
