Is it the same instructions for my 1.4 petrol A2?This link is the method I used for installation and it works

The second link is to the audi service manual and describes how to test both the stalk and the brake /clutch switches. Please be careful with the link and document I have no idea of the source or legality of the access, it is freely available online but an audi jobsworth may not be happy with its distribution!

different ecu pin connectionIs it the same instructions for my 1.4 petrol A2?
That sounds to be a real possibility, and another good reason to cherish A2 talent when you find it, both within the Club and at local Indie level.It's not necessarily baloney - Audi's own tool for coding and diagnostics won't talk to some engine ECUs unless they're at the latest firmware revision. VCDS can do it, which is why people like me and Tom can do it wit hough upgrades, but sometimes dealer-level tools are less flexible.
Agree to disagree do you honestly think vcds is better and more capable than the manufacturers diagnostic tool!That sounds to be a real possibility, and another good reason to cherish A2 talent when you find it, both within the Club and at local Indie level.

Yes, on twenty year old engine/car technology. Just the same as VCDS-LITE would be of little use on an e-tron.Agree to disagree do you honestly think vcds is better and more capable than the manufacturers diagnostic tool!
The Hella Guttman we have at work can do it and most other things remarkably easy without all the channel number faff. The car was only 13 years old at the time running OBD2.
Sorry hadn't realised you worked in a dealership/motor trade.Yes, on twenty year old engine/car technology. Just the same as vcds would be of little use on an e-tron.
Several generations between them, and new tech is rarely backwards compatible, like Windows XP era software does not run on Windows 10 or 11, exceot, thankfully, vcds!

OK, I've edited my post above, and apologies for miss leading anyone with an e-tron.Sorry hadn't realised you worked in a dealership/motor trade.
I know there are good dealerships out there, and yours obviously is one. The OP's experience, and that of many other car owners, shows that the good ones are thin on the ground, and the cost of picking a less than good one will be high, financially and, perhaps, mechanically.Like I said agree to disagree however any dealership without the capability of doing basic programming on a 13 year old car (at the time the op posted) isn't worth their salt.
Diagnostic kit we have can easily code keys (with skc sourced elsewhere) and cruise on my 2002 A2 AMF and can equally connect to our latest 72 plate vehicles.
If the diagnostic is prior to OBD2 then any good dealership can and will have full diagnostic capability just like when my friend took his 2000 Honda coupe to Honda for an airbag recall a few months ago.
VW have implemented Vehicle Diagnostic Protection (or SFD) on new models including the ID range, and they require secure access to the VW servers to change or retrofit anything. I would be surprised if Audi are any different.@PlasticMac
Wrong VCDS works on the Audi e-tron. Works on all current models and as more are introduced the software is updated.
