Hey guys,

Just got a pm from one of the users and can't respond directly due to this forum's rules. Anyway, this may be of use to someone else as well, so here goes:

1) Was it difficult to do the conversion?
Not really, the most difficult part is getting the old handbrake cables out (yes, they ...

Thanks for the info.

To understand this a bit better, which part of the stop/start system is required to make this work? Because one can always retrofit a BCM from a GTI for example

The part numbers I have are:

1K0 919 021 - 12V socket

PogoCT - we can have the same functionality by enabling "Nordic" setting - this keeps the parking lights, rear lights and number plate lights on even if the light switch is in OFF position. You will need VCDS to enable this setting.

Tested on SA 1.4 comfortline.
