Something to compare against would be handy.

With VCDS connect to controller 61 and look at the measuring blocks one of them (channel 2 I think) has current flow in amps. With the engine running it reports a positive value since you are putting charge back into the battery. Switch off the engine and press/hold stop on the keyless until the steering lock engages, wait until the interior lights go out and that is where I get the 8 amps from (A negative number since I am now taking power from the battery)

My car has AMI and the full phone kit and TV which appear to be powered until the car goes to sleep, but a rough idea would help.

My car goes to sleep after 15mins but I loose the BCM through VCDS because the CAN gateway goes to sleep as well.
