I'm in the process of sending the Directwire info on that vehicle to the Downloads/Manual section on this site. Directwire doesn't even mention CAN and suggest what I said before, i.e. 556U with a Valet key.

Sorry your last post just crossed mine. Answer, I don't think what you want to do is possible.

At this point, It seems that Howie is right. What you want to do may not be possible. According to the picture below, you would need to have a "Central Convenience Module" mounted to the left of the steering column. Comparing your picture to the one below shows where it should be installed for power windows and other features including the CANbus connections. I found this on a DEI Canmax module install sheet. VIN description vwvXXX1J123456789 (has to have the 1J as the 7th and 8th character) NOTE: Cars without electrical windows will not work with this firmware

CANMAX 400 might just be the only way to go. Funnily enough I posted the Directwire instructions yesterday for this vehicle and on it, it says factory alarm turns on and off with lock and unlocking the vehicle. Might I also add that adding/installing to ANYTHING on any Audi after 2002 ESPECIALLY the TT beaten for backache only by Smart cars is a right bloody (literally) PITA and when one comes up I'm usually going to be unavailable And you can add to that list ALL Mercedes post 2000 and ALL BMW post 2006, plus the latest Focus, especially the "sporty" versions with (in Europe) the T5 Volvo engine with its kludge of Ford, Land Rover and Volvo electrical bits.

And another hopefully not too silly thought. VW usually fit these under the dash as the photo (except the Passat under the front carpet, bless them). Audi often chuck them into a rear 1/4, the A3 left side, A4 right, between the rear wheel arch and the light fitting, might well be worth looking or at least find the ORANGE / green and ORANGE / brown in a loom somewhere.

Well, I am almost finished wiring the 574 in without the use of the DBall. The module is located in the rear quarter panel behind the drivers seat, but there are still no ORANGE / brown, or ORANGE / green wires. I think I will just eat the cost of the DBall and keep it as a reminder of the most difficult wiring I've ever done. On the bright side, after showing Cartoys my wiring last night (they wouldn't work on it - clutch bypass liability (understandable)) they offered me a job. Super nice guys. Anyways Howie, thank you so much for your upload of the wiring. All of the other diagrams have been incorrect pertaining to certain aspects of their diagram, but the Directed one was spot on. I will let everyone know how it goes after install is complete. Thanks to everyone who provided input. If anyone needs an xkloader2 and/ or a dball unit (physically check your car first) let me know. I will sell the combo for pretty cheap.
