Just got a PM reply from GVPILATG, going to try coding next weekend, if he's willing, we could all meet up. I'd PM him, and see if he is willing to do that!
If anyone needs help in the seacoast area of NH I might be able to lend a hand. I've done a decent amount of simple coding on my '12 GTI (lights, locks, windows, etc.) and accept payment in the form of good beer.
