where, my dealer with ETKA Europe probably can't find an 8 pin connector. I have now written to my contact in China...

I have looked around ETKA using the handle part number and there is no information on the 8-pin connector yet

Few minutes in ETKA and I think that I found it. The most promising one is 3G0973708 (blue), but there are also 3G0973708A (white), 3G0973708B (gray) and 3G0973708C (violet) variants. ETKA says that 3G0973708 is used in Skoda Enyak for Keyless and its door handle (8Y0959121) indeed has 8-pin connector

Edit. Skoda Enyak and Octavia probably uses 3G0973708A (white) which would match color of a connector in the door handle.

I know as I am the author of that post I just wanted to know which one of those connectors are used in AliExpress wiring for handles with Keyless and lights

Fortunately or not, depending which car are you driving, this mod in Formentor is easy. Golf ID.3 and probably some other cars has the same handles and could be equipped with outside illumination. Those are easily available in the second hand market.

Thank you for you addition though!

It's a shame these handles don't fit the 5F Leon!

Why

 

[cairus]

I have now watched the video, the up and down control of the LED does not seem to work correct

 

[grabania]

I've ordered Keyless version with cables and asked seller to paint them white. Package was definitely worse packed that previous one and was beaten up during shipping. Fortunately handles are fine, but manufacturer did some mistakes.

First of all connector in one handle is loose. It is held by some plastic tabs that needs to be melted to secure connector. This one can be easily removed so probably I will fix it by simply melting those tabs using soldering iron.

Secondly every light is missing screws. I can only guess that they removed lights for painting and forget to screw them after. They are nothing fancy so I will be able to screw them by myself. However I've contacted seller and we will see what they will reply.

But you don't want to tell me that you are happy with the paint job?

Don't worry, it's just a reflection

Seller replied to me and said that they will send missing screws.

I think you misunderstood me. It's about the paintwork. It looks terrible in the marked area...

Same handle, same spot from different angles
