Depends on cable route, the factory OE wiring route comes out low down on the Ebox near the front (under the engine fusebox) and sweeps around from the front direction and goes back to the controller/connection
I removed the lid and followed the same route

OK Understood.... any other tips?lol
You are getting more room cause it is a very tight space

Wire your switch according to this diagram.
and then apply coding modification to your ABS unit.

Don't bother wiring pins 1 and 2 on your new hill descent switch cause that light won't work anyway. Instrument cluster light will work for you instead (via CAN).
Hi, I have a 18 t6 tsi will the discussed option of traction control work on this? Thanks
That would be great, thanks for the advice. Although I haven’t got a clue how to do the mod, is there anyone local to bath/Bristol that would like to do it? Or local to Aylesbury? More than happy to pay to get it done. Thanks
My first retrofitted traction control switch deactivates ASR(TCS) only

So I am going to use my newly retrofitted Diff Lock switch
View attachment 64070
to actually work as a ESC deactivation switch
View attachment 64069
More details to follow soon
Any news here Robert?
I've done a few of these switches now as they are needed when testing tyres, worst but is pulling dash apart to fit the switch, I've not followed what others have been doing regarding wiring but I just run my wires though the bulkhead by the A/C drain and plug it into the ABS module,

Is there anyway to turn the TC off on the 6.1's?
Mines pretty good in the snow, but either the stability or TC will kick back in when it notices any rotation through the vehicle which is pretty frustrating.
The rear comes around nicely initially and then cuts all the power and feels like it's applying the brakes
