    ignition switch wiring

    Does anyone have the wiring of the ignition cylinder wiring? I installed a push button start from Digital Guard Dawg, so I unpluged the wiring from the ignition and connected the module to it. Everything works like it should but my navigation is not getting enough power or something like that, because when the car is on with the button the keys on the navigation blink every few seconds and the screen is not on. So I think maybe there is a wire on the ignition that gives it power or something like that. There are some wires that are not connected with anything from the ignition.

    I think you should remove this push button thing and go back to the regular key. You will regain safety and functionality, not to mention properly working electronics. You have added a sketchy, made-in-china module to the start circuit of your car. This module must work flawlessly for the rest of the life of the car, else you are needlessly stranded wherever it decides to break. There are enough failure points on an Audi - I would not advise adding more.

    As a 'car person' that is very much in favor of a future where vehicles are reliable, not overly complex and are owner-repairable, I very much object to push-button start in almost all implementations. Computer controlled starter motor duration and electronic, computer controlled steering lock actuators are very much not in the spirit of that desired future. B6 Passat and Phaeton owners can tell you all about why those things are a terrible idea.
