View Full Version : Homelink retrofit issue

I've recently carried out a retrofit of the OEM Homelink parts into an R8 Spyder and am having some issues.

I'm hoping someone here has performed the retrofit on an Audi and can assist - the backlighting works fine on the Homelink buttons and both the control unit (J530) and operating unit (E284) are seeing both power and ground.

The issue is that when I push any of the Homelink buttons the little LED in the control unit does not light up. I have tried doing a reset (holding I and III for 20+ seconds) but still the little LED does not light up.

I have two sets of the parts and am encountering the same issue with both so am comfortable ruling out faulty parts.

Wiring was carried out per the ElsaWin wiring diagram so again I am fairly comfortable that the wiring is good.

Anyone have any ideas?

Is there any coding required on the Central Electronics Control Module (CECM)/BCM? There is nothing obvious in either the long coding helper or any of the adaptation channels so I am at a bit of a loss!

Any help appreciated.
