Possible Causes

Disconnected RFID ribbon cable, Water ingress at front panel, Failed RFID antenna coil, Firmware configuration disabling RFID

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Front panel removal may expose live parts; isolate power first.

  • Check mode: Confirm in the Webasto app or installer menu that RFID authorization is enabled and not overridden by open-access mode.
  • Try multiple tags: Use different authorized RFID cards/fobs to rule out a single bad tag.
  • Clean surface: Wipe the RFID area with a dry cloth to remove dirt or metallic debris that could interfere.
  • Service access: A technician can open the front cover, reseat or replace the RFID reader board and antenna, and test operation.
