Make sure the metal contacts are actually touching the car-side.

You're not getting a good contact then. Give the car-side contacts a scrape to rid of any dirt/corrosion.

I know for the A3 & 6 you need to bend the contacts upwards ever so slightly.

You might need to lock/unlock the car to clear the light fault on the dash.

Bizarre, did nothing other than take them out and put them in again, and they worked.

I will make a master tech yet!

Can we get LED's for the bumper strips then?

I think even the baby Q's have normal bulbs down there

The front fogs will take an led bulb I know that.

The front bumper strips I think are just from newer models.

Would've liked the xcarlink the other day,ml the Eurotunnel, but we both had our iPads, much bigger and better, linked the sound to the car, was great.
