Weather will still be way too awful to start the retrofit installation for the foreseeable future, will be doing it outdoors.
However now I should have most everything sourced plus done some bench testing, setup in picture above, mainly to verify my 2nd hand modules actually work. I seem to be able to talk to them with VCDS just fine, although it complains about missing rod files. The modules are from t-roc apparently, no idea at this point if I will need different parameters or not, but I guess I’ll find out eventually
