Webasto RFID Antenna or Reader Board Failure

Webasto charger’s RFID reader area is unresponsive; no beep or LED change when presenting authorized cards, but no RFID-specific error code is shown.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

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

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.
