I'm pretty sure I hooked it up right. The only thing that bothers me is which wire to connect the knocklite signal wire too. There's two wires connected to the ecu. Pin 57(yellow/blue wire) and pin 59(red wire). Pin 57 connects to the factory knock sensor red wire and pin 59 connects to the factory knock sensors black wire. I opted to connect the knocklite sensor wire to pin 57 since it connected to the factory knock sensor red wire. My reasonig for that is because if you use a aftermarket kncok sensor you connect the knocklite sensor wire to positive according to the installation instructions. The knocklite rpm signal you get from pin 48(lavender wire). So far the shift lite portion of the knocklite works fine. I've callinrated the knocklite and I guess I'm not getting any knock but that all depends if I tapped the right pin(57or59). I put a tap on pin 59 but haven't tried it yet. Also not going to try and up the booost to try and purposly cause knock. Hmmm
What have you done to your P5 today?

ordered AWR rear end links. i need more money so i can make my car nicer. not faster....
Stock radio can be a b**** to pull. you need to get 2 pair of the stereo puller wires (you can get them from Wal-Mart for $3. Some people are successful with using coat-hanger wire instead.
you need to pop the black plastic cover pieces off of the sides of the stereo. Just use a thin knife and gently pry them right out.
Then you just stick in the pullers into the holes, and you have to squeeze them inwards, while pulling out.
good luck

fixed my headlight condensation issue.
the drivers side low beam boot wasnt on completly and was just hanging there and let a bunch of moisture in.
pulled out both lights and let sit for several hours, got a hairdryer and blew air into the lamp, and went into one of the shoeboxes, got a silica packet, attached it to a wire, and let it sit in the lamp for a couple hours.
sealed it back up, and havent had an issue the past 2 nights.
