AlphaDynamik ETB series | Side swivel step for Grand California

€1.590,00
| /

Tired of the original Thule step on your Grand California? Then it's time for an upgrade. The AlphaDynamik ETB step offers you 240 kg load capacity, LED lighting, and a smart swivel mechanism for the ideal entry height. Installation without additional drilling on your vehicle.

What sets our solution apart: We rely on the original AlphaDynamik control unit. This ensures that all functions are fully available to you: workshop mode, LED lighting, and, most importantly, pinch protection. No loose wires, no provisional connections like with other solutions. Our integration module is completely waterproof and, together with the AlphaDynamik control unit, is securely installed under the driver's seat. All technology remains inside the vehicle, not exposed to the elements like with comparable offerings. And because we use the original control unit, the Declaration of Conformity (UBB) from Volkswagen for the step is also retained. Perfect integration, maximum function, thoughtful craftsmanship.

Features of the step

  • Load capacity: 240 kg
  • Net weight: 15 kg
  • Extension time: 2 seconds
  • Integrated obstacle detection (autostop) and pinch protection
  • LED lighting as standard
  • Ideal entry height due to swivel mechanism
  • Tested for over 100,000 extension and retraction cycles
  • Designed for temperatures from -30°C to +80°C
  • Scope of delivery: Step, 2 brackets, cable set, control unit, vehicle-specific mounting material

Our three variants

Variant 1 – Step with control unit
The step including the original AlphaDynamik control unit, cable set, and LED lighting. Please note: The step must be operated manually via a switch not included in the scope of delivery. Full integration into the Grand California is not possible without additional accessories.

Variant 2 – Step with integration cable set
Includes everything from Variant 1, plus our integration cable set. This fully integrates the step into your Grand California. Control is as ex-works, without any additional switch.

Advantages of our integration cable set

  • Connection as ex-works: The cable set is connected directly to the fuse box
  • No loose cables: Clean, secure connections instead of provisional wiring
  • Waterproof integration module: Completely potted and so robust that it could even be installed outside the vehicle. However, it is deliberately installed securely under the driver's seat
  • Robust construction: All components securely potted, loose contacts excluded
  • Reliable switching: Even if the KFG control unit is reset, the step remains extended and is not inadvertently actuated
  • Easy routing: The cable set can be easily routed under the vehicle to the fuse box

Variant 3 – Complete with installation
Includes everything from Variant 1 and 2. In addition, the step is professionally assembled and integrated into the vehicle system by us in Kempen (47906).

Compatibility

The step fits 2WD and 4Motion vehicles. Our integration cable set works with all Grand California models including the facelift from MY2025. The cable set can be used without soldering, the power connection is made via the fuse box under the driver's seat. All necessary cables and fuses are included in the scope of delivery.

Important before purchase

The factory-installed step must function perfectly before installation, and faultless control must be ensured. Installation must be carried out by a qualified person.

Shipping and payment

Delivery is in two packages. PayPal is not available as a payment method when purchasing the step due to fees.

  • Variant 1: 5 to 10 working days
  • Variant 2: approx. 4 weeks (cable set is manufactured to order)
  • Variant 3: After ordering, we will contact you to arrange an appointment

Warranty

Our integration cable set is not part of the UBB. Whether Volkswagen restricts warranty claims in individual cases is at the discretion of VWN. If you have any questions about this, we recommend contacting your VWN partner directly. We are liable for our cable set within the framework of the statutory warranty, AlphaDynamik for the step. Damages due to improper installation are not covered.

  • We're taking a break, but first, here's something for you!

    Wir machen Pause, aber vorher gibt's noch was für euch!

    Hey everyone!

    We have a small announcement for you: We're taking a break from April 20th to May 24th. We have some exciting things coming up in the next few weeks. We are preparing for our meeting, which requires our full energy. Also, our guided winter tour is still on the agenda, and there's a lot to plan for that. To get all of this properly organized, we're putting the shop on pause for now.

    But don't worry, the shop will remain open, and we won't let you leave without a small gift 😄

    🚀 New products during the break! Even though we're on a break, things remain exciting in the shop! We'll be launching several new products during this time, including care products and much more. So it's worth checking back regularly and browsing. And the best part: You can, of course, use the discount codes directly on the new products!

    📦 Orders before the break: All orders received by April 19th will be shipped before the break. Exceptions are items with longer delivery times, such as the Ecoflow Alternator in the Grand California Edition. In such cases, shipping can only take place after our return.

    Your discounts during our break:

    🖨️ 15% off all 3D printed items with code: 3DFrühling 🛒 10% off everything else in the shop with code: Springbreak

    Simply enter the respective code in the shopping cart, and the discount will be automatically applied. Please note: Subsequent discounting is unfortunately not possible. The code must be entered by you directly when placing the order.

    This promotion is valid only from April 27th to May 24th. After that, prices will return to normal. So if you've had your eye on something for a while, now is the moment.

    What you need to know:

    📧📞 No support by email and phone During our break, we will not be available by email or phone. As soon as we return, we will process everything. Feel free to write to us anyway, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

    📦 Delivery times are incorrect Very important: The delivery times displayed in the shop are not valid during our break! We cannot process orders during this time. After our return, items will first need to be ordered or manufactured. All orders will then be processed in sequence. This means it may take a little longer than you are used to from us. But don't worry, every single order will reach you 🤝

    💳 No PayPal during the break We unfortunately have to inform you that payments via PayPal are not possible during our break. The reason is simple: In the past, we unfortunately had a few instances where cases were opened with PayPal during our absence claiming that goods had not been shipped. Since we cannot ship during the break, this only caused us unnecessary trouble and effort. We hope you understand. All other payment methods are, of course, available to you as usual.

    Why is it still worth ordering now?

    It's simple: The discounts are only available now, and new products are even being added. Those who order now secure the best prices and are directly in the queue when we get back to work. Those who order first also get delivered first.

    👉 Shop now and save

    We look forward to your orders and will get back to you as soon as we are back. Enjoy the time and see you soon!

    Best regards, Your ZM Team
