Push start ignition???
Ok, so I have had my car for 4 days now. Eevrything works perfectly (as I cross my fingers). However, for some reason the push start ignition doesn't seem to work. I tried it out when I bought the car and it worked. Now when i get in the car nothing.
The start and stop buttons light up, but the car does not start. It will shut off however when i use the stop button. I depress the brake pedal and still nothing. The doors unlock using the advanced key so my battery is not dead. Am I doing something wrong?

The start button has two positions; accy power on and start. Try holding the button down for a second and make sure to push it past the first click. Don't, however, push it hard at all. I still slip up occasionally

Didn't work. Both buttons light up but I am getting nothing. I have vag-com on the way. Will there be a fault for this?

sorry I just want to make sure we had the same issue since I am so adminent about your button. I would feel really bad if you bought a new button and it still doesn't work.
On my A6 the button would always get the car into accessory mode with no issues ever, but the problem was sometime the engine would not start. And I would have to push the different corners of the button or sometime push on it really hard. Is this your same symptoms?
hope this helps and here's the DIY link

Are you pressing it hard enough? That was my issue... lol
As said, there are two positions for the start button. Second position happens when you press the button down hard enough after the initial click.

Are you putting your foot on the brake while trying to start? Not being facetious, just noting that you haven't had the car that long so you may not realize you have to.
