Hello everyone
First of all, my car is a 2003 A3, one of the first 8Ps. I changed my central console from 1din to 2din and got an aftermarket Android multimedia with a Canbus module. The subwoofer and the rear speakers are working fine. I've attached a picture as a reference.

I had a problem with the new climate control. The AC was running fine for a couple of minutes, and then it just stopped, like there was a valve that closed and blocked the air because I could still feel a bit of cold air coming out when I put my hands directly over the vents. This happened every time I started the AC. The other thing is that on my original climate control, I have an ECON button, which, if pressed, stops the AC, while on the new control, there was an AC button in the same place, which instead, if pressed, started the AC, so they work completely opposite. I Googled and found out the valves on facelifted models work differently, and there's nothing that can be done, so I trimmed my original climate control and fitted it in the 2din console, which solved the problem.

I then went out and changed my steering wheel to one with multimedia controls, which looks just like the one in the attached photo. This is also a facelifted wheel with three spokes. I know that the airbag won't work because it has two connectors in the back, while my original airbag has only one, and there's nothing that can be done, so I already made my choice that if I go down, I will go down as a rider. :D It's just that the newer steering wheel looks and feels so good. It's like I'm driving a different car and I immediately fell in love with it.
As you probably have guessed, the buttons didn't work. I had to change my control module from 8P0953549 to 8P0953549F and my steering wheel angle sensor from 1K0959653 to 1K0959653D, as already Googled.
I then did some amateur coding and somehow got the buttons to work. I enabled analog and digital radio, multifunction steering wheel with voice control, and basically everything else related to this subject.
Everything works fine now: turning the volume up or down, changing songs, calling someone, etc., so I'm pretty happy with that. However, I have a couple of error codes now and one big ESP/ABS light on my dash that I can't remove. I'm getting desperate, as I already did a lot of research and also sent the car to a workshop, and they couldn't fix it, so I'm reaching out to the Audi team to see if someone could assist.

The error codes are the following:

Is it normal for an aftermarket radio to not be detected, even though it has a canbus module? I guess I can disable these two modules, as this doesn't seem to affect the sound or the MFSW in any way, and I also already see the radio station names on my dash.

I'm pretty sure the ESP/ABS light comes from the angle sensor's inability to adapt. If I put my original sensor and module back, the wheel adapts fine, but I can't get the new ones to work.
Is it possible that either the new control module or the angle sensor is defective?
Should I try getting new ones or ones with different part numbers?
Is there a Highline control module that would work with my original angle sensor?

Thanks to everyone in advance for their support.

You can fix the HVAC issue by upgrading the HVAC system to the late 06 onwards motor with cam unit that sits on top of the blower holding area, the facelift climate will not work properly without this modification full stop, it won't power the 2nd motor that 03- late 06 cars have fitted.

Aftermarket radio will not show up in diagnostics at all as it doesn't speak Audi can language so to speak.
 
I have followed this guide and replaced the switches with chrome ones, and it looks pretty good:

I'm unfamiliar with this system and how the motors work. Can you give me a part number so I know what to look for?

Ok, I will disable both radios so they don't appear as errors.

Do you have any ideas about this ABS adoptation? Right now, this is my main concern.
