T5 2005 is to old for that Standalone EPB Module.
You will need to upgrade your car to 2009+ technik to able to do it.
Other way is that you emulate everything else what is needed on the Canbus and install the Module together with the Simulator.

Thanks, emulation and dummy can signals is doable provided I can find canlogs, what parts are best to go with and what canbus messages do the EPB modules require?
I presume I'd need EPB rear calipers installed also or do these systems just remotely operate a cable/actuator?
Logs i can provide, next Year
You will need a Can Bridge, because you need at least to supply the Wheel Speed's to the EPB, it needs this to stop when the Wheel is Blocking ...
I have a list of all canmessages that are relevant, i did implement a bridge to do some hacking.
List is in my script used on rspberry pi, see here car-tools/Semi-Autohold/AutoHold.sh at master · dnoermann/car-tools
so any STM32 Microcontroller with 2 Can Ports is a good start ....
And yes you need to install the Actuators, as described in the early pages ...

Thanks, yes I have an STM32 setup that should be able to do what I need... or possibly an ESP32.
One thing I am unsure of though, it seems that I need an ABS module that is capable of controlling the brakes for Emergency braking, my 2005 T5 has a very basic ABS setup so I suspect this isn't an option unless I retrofit a more modern ABS. Do you have a suggestion on the best way to address this?
Have a read below.
I don't think so
No need to change the ABS.
Emergency breaking is done Manual by pulling the Manual Parking break handle now.
And with EPB you than pull the Switch to have the same result ...

Yes it dawned on me last night, whilst the kids were awarding me some midnight thinking time... actually the unit should work, I was thrown by Roberts comment on page 4 or 5 that says the servo motors only handle low speed stopping, but then he later clarifies that they are used as emergency stop as well on page 8 I think

One thing I'm not 100% sure on. Why are you buying the EPB Module from alibaba? There was an Audi (8K0907801j) one mentioned by dnoermann, Ebay has them for about £25, seems like a good plentiful option, or are you wanting to buy new units? Are these Audi units known to work?
There is an A6 being broken relatively locally to me so I could go and steal the rear calipers, EPB unit, switch and any associated wiring if they're a viable option for my T5.

Makes sense, I'll look for PQ25 based stuff then as it'll keep things simpler.
AUTOHOLD in its basic funcionality and principle applies hydraulic braking on all 4 wheels via ABS unit.
When the time limit of hydraulic braking expires the EPB is being applied automatically.
Concluding, this additional menu entry for the Instrument Cluster would need to be generated by the ABS controller itself.
Hello. I come from Germany. I have a T6.1 high roof from 2020. I would like to convert it into an ice cream car. It would be great if it had an electric parking brake. Could you tell me what kind of control unit I need for this? I bought one with the number: 3AA 907 801 H Unfortunately it doesn't work with the car. I had the switch from the Tiguan: 5N0 927 225 B. The car has DSG and I would like the brake to be pulled firmly after turning off the ignition and released again after D is inserted. Do you think it would be somehow possible to achieve this?
Thanks
Thanks
Hey Guys. Has somebody had any sucsess with controlunits from alibaba? Any recommended seller on there? Genuine new items above £500 and no secondhand available
Any of you willing to post a summary what is needed to a full retrofit?
Cable lengths, Terminals, connectors ecetra.
