I'm also hoping to use either a cheaper aftermarket solution, or get a used ebay part, the $600 original part isn't going to work for my wallet. I found this one on Ebay that looks like it is the right one?

It seems like the super cheap VW part likely won't work for my model?

Thanks again everyone for all the help, this forum is amazing.

The part depends on if you have the alarm or not. The option code is on the underside of the frunk, so start there.

3B1837016P is the passenger if you have the alarm option, 8N1837015A for driver.

My alarm box says M535 and I have no errors despite the description saying it isn't compatible. Give it a shot and return it if it doesn't work. Easy to swap out the latch once you do it once anyway.

Your link doesn't load. You need 3B1837016P if you have the 535 option.
