Andy was kind to provide the wiring diagram and it does appear to be PIN 35 on the ABS unit.

If it works or not is a different matter!

Not had chance to install the wire to the ABS unit - may have chance next weekend.

I have to say that I still have not got around to fitting the ABS wire..... (although I can not confirm it will work - the info. is just based on the wiring diagram!)

Sorry!

Yep!

.... Golf 5 / 2008 with button.

The button looks correct and wires in fine BUT I have not put the wire through to the ABS unit at PIN 35 yet to see if it works.

Sorry to say but I still have not had chance to complete the install and for a number of reasons I will now be selling the Scirocco :( :( :(

The wiring diagram is bigger than the allowed upload to the forum, so please MSG me if you want it!

I will be selling the switch and wiring loom on Ebay shortly (not because it does work!) just to get the money back on it!

Is there no workshop manual available? you just need to find the correct ABS pin right?
