    Dash isn't coming on at all, and engine start blocked.

    Yeah I noticed the 8L too.. just thought it was a bug. The cable I'm using is a VAG com KKL 409.1 cable (blue ebay ones) and it connects ok with the software port test and wotnot. Functions are limited, just gives me what you saw above. I've messaged a guy in Pembrokeshire through the VCDS map...
