Top one looks like ever other can gateway I have seen with the way the two plastic halves join together.  Might just be the photo but the connector looks to have a different shape on the lower unit.

From the label they appear to be made by different manufacturers in different countries so it could just be a design revision.

Not very helpful I know but the only way to know might be to plug it in and see what VCDS throws up.  :surprised:

Has been confirmed in another thread on here today the manufacturer has changed and so has the appearance so the second one is actually a newer unit!

Second one is older by the date stamp??? so its quite confusing :rolleye: I know sometime the manufacturer updates old units, I.e I have seen an S gateway with an AD sticker over the top?
