sry out of town just wanted to post pics for someone-->
anyways controller works fine, i can do VAG output tests and all work and seem okay though somethings like tel will only work if connected i believe, my only issue is new style controls won't stay as connected, it will be okay then I get vag error "missing steering wheel controls" but it illuminates so power and ground connections are fine (btw there are only three wires).
I will be double checking data wire to be sure its okay but would find it odd as the harness was made and tested on bench (who knows if i don't lag tonight i'll check but not expecting much)
I hope i get the A6 MF wheel from craigyb soon its been in transit about a month and a half with the correct buttons i should have a working system.
anyways sry again for the lag i kinda threw the pics up i had on my memroy card and left.
