When I fitted mine I did the pin 4 link first.
It seemed to work correctly but I had only just obtained my VCDS and knew nothing. My first scan resulted in many faults but for this thread, here is the relevant report. For both of these I had "No Fault Found".

Somehow I eventually managed to lose the "Not Registered". Cannot remember how I managed it.
And here are the current reports.
