?!?!? If you have an aftermarket stereo, the K wire _MUST_ be disconnected to be able to scan the computer. The K wire is solely for the stock stereo to communicate with the computer and alarm system. The problem arises when somone uses certain aftermarket harness adapters that send 12 volts through the K wire and short out scanning computers (big, big $$$$ out of your pocket). Due to this, some dealerships are hesitant to scan with an aftermarket stereo. Tell them to pull the stereo to ensure that the K wire is indeed disconnected (if they won't believe you).

However, only finding out that if you don't hook up an after market radio "K" wire into the diagnostic connector, the computer cannot be scanned. German electrical leaves things to be desired, that's for sure. I don't think I have "two ABS rings" either. I think one of the rear rings was not adjusted properly when the rear bearings were repacked. They are very sensitive to that. If I ever get the computer to scan, I will pinpoint it for sure!
