Here comes an update on the progress so far.
My A8 unit 4H0 035 670 P is apparently "unreadable" for Odis.
I have been to the shop two times, but they weren't able to remove the CP.
According to the mechanic it was like the gateway and mmi talked two different languages and weren't able to communicate. The could enter it and program it, but not remove the CP. I asked if it were a stolen item, since I bought it from ebay, but they didn't get any indication of that.
So I came across a unit sitting in a 2010 Q7 at a scrapyard.
Then I called the local dealer with the VIN to make sure it was a 3G+ unit in the car, and they could verify that it was 3G+ and not 3G.
The unit came today, and guess what; it was a 3G unit..
And since the original plan was to fit a 3G unit in the first place, I now have 2 3G units, one 3G+ unit I can't use and my old 2G unit sitting in a shelf.
The 3G+ units are hard to come by in Norway, and expensive to order from ebay, since I have to pay 25% tax on everything I buy from outside of the country.
I'm on the verge of giving up the whole thing and just use the 3G unit I originally planned on installing.
Sorry to highjack the thread with my ranting..
