Looks like you have overlooked a ground or power connection somewhere. Check the main fuses under the windshield. There is also a ground point just by there as well that can get missed

 

[southwestern]

i will triple check all power and grounds again. not many grounds on this thing. all the fuses under the windshield are good.
also, im not able to communicate with any modules, so i cannot get any codes. i am getting power to the dlc though.

@southwestern : Do you have the proper wiring diagrams for your 2009 A5 ? If not, sign up at erwin.audiusa.com for the $35 24-hour subscription and download EVERYTHING for your car, including all PDF repair manuals, wiring diagrams, TSBs, etc. --g

 

[southwestern]

yes i have all tsb, manuals and wiring diagram

 

[southwestern]

someone told me thats its possible it is in theft mode and only audi can use their scanners to get it out.

Noooo, unless you have mismatched keys and ecus etc then yes but not just an engine swap. Have you gone through the fuses and wiring connection points in box under the ecu? Defo must me a wire not connected or a ground

 

[southwestern]

i went through all the fuses. under pcm, in trunk, both sides of dash. i checked the #5 fuse on passenge side, data bus diagnostic interface board, that has power.

@southwestern : Have a look at this recent thread from the Audizine B8 forum: 2014 a4 ignition wont turn on?
Note the diagnostic YouTube video in post #8 that found a faulty CCM (J393) in that case. --g

thank you DrGer. that helped alot. I got a used comfort control module. now, when i open the door, i get mileage on the dash. i get to take the key out, which i wasnt able to do before. im still not starting. but atleast im getting communication with modules now. so i think maybe it needs to be programed.

 

[southwestern]

so my guy came with his fancy computer. he said its still not powering up to communicate with the comfort control module. he says he can communicate with the abs and instrument cluster module but thats all. the dash says switch to park, i have a manual transmission. i firgured this used one came from an automatic. any suggestions from here?
atleast now i got the fob out of the dash, and when i open the door the center mesage center comes on, with the mileage and that note about putting it into park

 

[southwestern]

also forgot to mention. when i plug in my scan tool, i have an autel maxicom. i do an auto scan, and it shows 9 codes in the comfort control module, but when i try to get a reading on the codes, it wont show me

 

[jnrdavo]

It sounds like you need vcds and then rhe long coding option to program up the CCM with the codes that make sense to your car..

For example, Byte 7 bit 6 of the CCM long coding sets auto/manual transmission installed -- see my B8 coding/adaptation reference here: A4 Module Coding & Adaptation Reference --g
