so decided to do a complete sweep of all systems, Diagun swept through all control units 1 by 1 and reported back N/A on all systems, so somewhat suprised by that I decided to go through relevent systems, just about to give up when asking for fault codes on 19. Gateway Databus I got code 00384 Optical Databus, so consulting Autodata, it showed fitting position above glovebox, cleared codes on switched on radio again, ran for 30 seconds then quit, so checked fault memory again and got the code repeated, 5, 8mm screws, owners manual, kids week old wine gums, snotty hankies, sunglasses, maps and soiled doggy poop scoop later, dropped glove box to find unit labelled 4FO-910-468-A Gateway, (I should take the time to point out, that at this moment I had to take time for a 1 hour break as I was so staggered to find a CORRECT Autodata fitting location.)
could't see anything visually wrong with the unit so frustrated by this i thumped the unit with my hand, bloody hell the radio cut out, tried this probably 10 times trying to rule out coincidence, and 10 times it cut out, loosening the screws and letting it dangle on its wires it still did the same thing, anyone out there know if this unit is anything special or is the usual VAG routine of fit and enter the coding for the old unit.
