I can't wait to try this out!!
Did you all buy Elsawin from ebay? I think I should have a copy.

Must get a copy myself too. Sure looks handy.
Dave do you have xenons?

For those who are going to take the wire off the earth point . The disconnection may disable them. Specially if the contact doesn't remove cleanly. However just touching the wire back on the earth point again should reactivate them. (it would be like pressing the switch)
Well that's what we need to find out. Some work with just a recode. Marc's works by having a wire earthed all the time and yours works by touching that wire to earth once.
If Marc's does indeed need that wire then he can fit the light sensor so his only works at night.
Now I think about it again... when I was doing the install I took the wire away and reconnected it to tidy it up and the CH\LH did stop working. A the time I thought the earth contact just wasn't made properly and reattached it which made it work again.
It may well be that the second earthing of the wire disabled the CH\LH function and the third one then re-enabled them. The weather's miserable here at the minute so I'll try to give it a go at the weekend.
I was just thinking the same thing last night.
i think that probably refers to the auto-lights. If you set the switch to auto and pull out for the fogs then the fogs should come on with the auto-lights.I read on another forum that this function on a Audis can use the fog lamps instead and someone said that the switch position does it. I have just tried leaving the lights on with fog but it doesn't work. Just thought I'd pass that on.

My brother and father have GTIs with auto lights and CH\LH. Their CH\LH is just the main lights, but the fogs do come on with the auto-lights.
I bought WinELSA from ebay and it included the parts CD as well (EKTA), fantastic piece of software, both of them, well worth buying!
Has parts list. Doesn't list it as ETKA though. 98% feedback on 549 is good enough for me though!
I suspect that you have earthed the connection again after the lights came on and disabled the CH\LH function. You should leave the door open and earth the connection again - if the lights come on then you are good to go. Earthing the connection a second time will disable them. I had the same problem when I was doing mine, only I didn't realise it at the time - I assumed I hadn't earthed the connection properly so disconnected and reconnected the earth and all was working.
In what respect do you mean got to the bottom of this?
You enable them & earth a connection & away you go, this isnt switchable of course except by VCDS or the earth wire or just do the oem fitment that ill give you all the above.
Ah yes this is true, but for most it works, I'm sure the issue people have had is simple to resolve.
Urrrm let me check elsa & also what version 09 module is yours?
what year is your S3 mate & when you login to module 09 what part number does it show at the top?
I see 4 wires for coming home, of which 3 goto the module of 09 from lightswitch & 1 to earth as per marc's original posting
