Sounds like the problems others have had with GIAC. Probably a bad solder contact

Default Sounds like it to me. You are certainly not the first to have this happen with GIAC

they have had so many no starts, it's annoying.

Call GIAC or the vendor. That's the only way I can imagine it will get fixed.

Default happened to me with my ABT chip...

This is what I did and it finally started. Put the ignition to the on postion for a minute and then try starting it. It happened three times over 2 months and each time there were no error codes on the VAG COM.
