Electrical Interface spec

[Bramco]

Just about to order my Beach and couldn't make head nor tail of the electrical interface options. Finally got this response from VW brand folks via the dealer. See below.

The link at the bottom is to the full body builder spec - might be useful for others.

Also from a couple of different dealers I have been assured that the 240 hookup is now standard - in fact one of the dealers had just had one delivered with this in place.

California Beach option query
In principle, there are two interfaces for external by bodybuilders:

1. Terminal strip: plugs with selected vehicle electrical system potentials
2. Multifunction control unit: control unit with access to the vehicle’s CAN network

UF2 is a combination of both UF1 and UF8.

The interfaces can be ordered using the following equipment numbers (PR)

Description

UF1

Terminal strip

"Electrical interface for external use"

UF2

Hi,

We went for the £40 electrical interface option and were told it was an interface that makes it easier to add into the electrical system in th future, ie a tow bar. Ours is due on the 2nd of May so not too long now. We went for the Milan anthracite upholstery as well but have struggled to find and decent pics online, how does it look in th flesh? Do you have any pics of yours you would be willing to share?

Thanks

I heard that anthracite was only available with the 3 seat option and we're going for the 2 seat and storage box.

And apologies for repeating the point about the electrical hook up - as a newbie I hadn't delved deep enough the forum to see the comments about it being standard from last year.
