Commercializing this is still on my TODO list and the VW issue means that it might stay there!

The amp is labelled 4E0 035 223

My prototype manifold emulator is now working.

If there is interest in these, I may make a batch to sell on, but they could cost around £50 each given the low numbers I'd be buillding.

Yes, I've done that. Close to nothing from front right mid range or treble speakers. But is this due to amplifier, loom or speaker?

Pinout of amplifier connector

Hi,

I have the bog standard audio (no badges anywhere) and it keeps losing the front right channel. I suspect it's shutting down due to a speaker fault, but would like to do some tests.

Intake Manifold "delete"

Hi guys,

My intakes are now fixed, but what a load of hassle that was just to put out one light!

I have a similar issue.

Front right treble and midrange are *very* quiet when doing a test with VCDS. Sometimes doing an MMI reset gets them back, but not always.
