Wiring in the TMC module is quiet involved as you have to splice into the wiring behind the instrument cluster.
The attached guide will help you through adding a TMC. The guide is for an A6 but the procedure is basically the same although some steps are not needed at all.
Have a look at the thread from I did the install a few years ago.

Cheers for that Manny. At least it explains why I don't have anything on mine... and not a job I'm likely to attempt.
