This page details vehicle support for the Volkswagen community port.

Fully Tested and Supported

These vehicles are confirmed supported by the community Volkswagen port, because they have been tested on at least one representative car in the wild. Both automatic and manual transmissions are supported. The vehicle must have ACC (radar-based cruise control). For vehicles without factory Lane Assist, a custom harness (Dream Harness - integrates at J533) will be required to use modern Comma Two hardware, and a diagnostic tool (VCDS/OBD11/etc.) will be needed to make minor coding changes to the steering rack in order for OP to steer, and coding changes to the instrument cluster will be needed to receive feedback and status information.

Supportable but Untested

These vehicle-classes should work fine with openpilot, to the best of our information, but have not yet been tested. Minor tweaks or other support may be needed. Be cautious if making an openpilot or vehicle purchase decision based on this information. If in doubt, ask on Discord.

Long Term Roadmap

We think these vehicles can be supported at some point, but they are not supported just yet. Code changes will be required. There are no firm dates for any of these items. If you have a vehicle in this section and are interested in testing with openpilot, please ask on Discord before proceeding.

  • Longitudinal control using visiond to drive known ACC messaging, for vehicles without radar. It's not yet known specifically what retrofits we'll need for vehicles with cruise control only, but we'll probably need to change out the steering wheel buttons or control stalk as applicable.

MQB-A0

All MQB-A0 vehicles. We think these SHOULD work, but ran into unknown issues with the ones we tested and were not able to complete troubleshooting with the owners. Contact us on Discord if you have access to a legitimate VCDS interface for diagnostics and are interested in trying. Especially if you have factory LKAS.

  • 2018-current Mk2 Audi A1
  • 2017-current SEAT Arona
  • 2017-current SEAT Ibiza
  • 2018-current Mk6 Volkswagen Polo
  • 2019-current Mk1 Volkswagen T-Cross

PQ35/PQ46/NMS

All PQ35/PQ46/NMS vehicles. We hope and plan to provide some level of official support in the long-term future, and we are having good success in early testing. Vehicles in this set may or may not be supportable. Most if not all should have electric power steering racks, but earlier vehicles may or may not have configurable support for Lane Assist commands. Do not purchase a vehicle based solely on this list.

MLB/MLBevo

All MLB and MLBevo vehicles (requires FlexRay support, VERY long term future)

  • 2018-current Volkswagen Touareg
  • All modern Audi not listed as MQB: A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, R8, Q5, Q7, Q8, e-Tron SUV and all variants thereof

MEB

All MEB (new electric mass-market platform ID3,ID4,...) vehicles, big question marks here until we see one, but we have cautious optimism.

MQBevo

All MQBevo vehicles (the** new Golf Mk8 **and all future refreshed MQBs), big question marks here until we see one, but we have cautious optimism.

Unsupportable

These vehicles either don't have electric power steering, or we don't have a known control channel, or there is no factory option or ability to retrofit the necessary ACC and steering components. Support could be reexamined if new information comes to light, but at this time we have no plans to investigate further.

  • Volkswagen Touareg prior to 2018 (hydraulic power steering, lane departure warning only via steering wheel haptic)
  • Volkswagen Phaeton (hydraulic power steering, lane departure warning only via steering wheel haptic)
  • NSF prior to 2019 (New Small Family) supermini models
  • Volkswagen Crafter Mk1(-2017) uses hydraulic power steering.
  • Transporter T6 and down use hydraulic power steering. T6.1 might be supportable in the future as it uses electric power steering.
