With the MMI, its not a coding issue, but an adaptation channel setting. Most of that is done with the factory software on a VAS tester, and unless someone has the channels and values for that channel according to you vehicle specs, it will be hard to get that corrected with VAG-COM. As for the draw, you will also have to determine which system or circuit is drawing current, which means you need an amp probe connected the battery circuit while unplugging fuses or connector for components.
I have triple checked all the coding and all looks correct per what I have installed in my vehicle. I guess what your suggesting is going into the dealer and having them check the adaption channels?
I thought VAG-COM was good to set all these adaption/channels but is limited to what it can do.
I have found this link but cant seem to understand the "*" settings. Has anyone used this site?

I think I just found something that correlates with what your problem. My Sirius satellite module just failed yesterday morning. It went from working more/less fine to indicating something like "Satellite radio is not installed, see Audi dealer for assistance". I opened up the left side trunk panel and located the Sirius module. It was hot to the touch; MUCH hotter than I think it should be. I re-checked it later in the day after the car had been off for 3 hours, and the module was still hot. I checked it again last night (when the heat of the day would have no effect on it) and it was still hot with the car off. So, not only is it not communicating with the car but it is also drawing a bunch of power with the car off. I got a resulting "quiescent current stage 2" fault code from the draw.
You might check out your Sirius module and see how warm it is. I'll replace mine today ($587!) and follow up on how warm it runs..

Can anybody tell me whether this module is turned on/off by something else, or if the module takes care of that duty?
