I had auto zone hook up a scanner, but I'll have them run it again to check for any additional codes

That one will not read VAG unique codes. You have to get a VAGCOM tool to read the CCM codes.

Here is where I got my cable and the info for the link to the software is near the bottom of the page.

Well I'm going to have to wait on that till march, I just paid my last car payment and $99 for software at this time isn't a priority, but i will get it so i have it incase any other issues arise

Gingerbread man

Software is free. Look for VCDS-Lite. Cable is less than $20 shipped.

Bear in mind that the eBay cable won't do too well with all tje car modules. I had trouble with the air bags and the eBay cable but I had no problems with locking.

Thanks Gingerbreadman, I should have been more specific on the software. Also, agree with his comment regarding the cable. The one at the webiste I sent has worked flawlessly for 2 years.

It has to have a hood pin switch the car thinks the hood is open...my car is DYSLEXIC like my buddy jay, my cars new name is jay lok

Ok well thanks for the heads up on the software now to find a 150 foot usb cable lol

Uhg now due to the car thinking the hood is open randomly it has woke me up out of bed 3 times the switches in the door did nothing so now it sits unlocked. If it thinks the hood is open there must be a hood pin switch, right? I have a vagcom cable on the way but I dont think that can solve the issue unless it lets me disable that switch

Never encountered a bad hood switch. No idea where that thing is.
