fdriller, yea i know about the hazards trick, i'm the one that told you about it in the headlight thread haha
orangedawg, def try that if you have trouble communicating with any modules, owen from bavtech told me it keeps the can bus open and it worked for me pulling some codes on my footwell module
ya just turn the hazards on right after you hit the start button to turn the ign on, and i believe your right to not start the car, i don't think you ever have the car running when scanning it
