Hi,
It been awhile since I've been on on list, mostly due to my 2005 w12 being sidelined.
Long story: (or skip to short story)
I damaged 1 wire putting in a push button start and I let a german shop "repair" it. I provided michael's article, the disk based service manual, vagcom laptop and stressed the car had to be plugged in while it's being worked on. Pick the car up guy says "gee, we had to charge this car several times" errrrr. "The doors & locks were intermittent ", errrrrr. billed for 10 hrs, errrrr. I just wanted to get outta there.
They killed the new agm battery by not plugging in the car, i was pissy and it didnt sink in when he said "I had to move some wires" . Shortly thereafter i was gettting something like 90 errno's mostly saying improbable signal, Sig too high, sig too low and i let it st for several months.
Short story:
Since there have been many successfull push button installs
I figured the shop tapped into a can bus wire. I have a hard time following the schmatics for connector t81. So Does any one have a clear, color picture of the pinout for t81 so I can check to see if the shop moved any wires.
I will also remove the push button and see if that helps but want to ensure the connector hasn't been tampered with first.
