No flashing blue on Step 5 - 2013 Q5

+1 vote
Trying to program my 2013 Audi Q5 with EVO-ALL or AUDT1 or EVO RS.  I really don’t know because all three of those are on the box that it came in, which is confusing in itself.  I’m using the T harness that came with it, and I spliced into the brake switch connector and the CAN hi and lo wires.  T plugged into the key port.  I flashed the EVO using the software and FlashLink.  I can get through steps 1-4, but at step 5, I push key in to power on vehicle, the blue light comes on, I press and release the programming button on the EVO, the light goes out, but never comes back on to flash repeatedly as the instructions say it should.

Hello,

What is the S/N number on the back of the module?

Thank you.

Thank you
Your firmware is correct.

You would want to check your can hi and can lo connections in that case.

Best regards.
This was the problem, thank you.

I had tapped into the wrong can circuit.  The instructions are correct, I just made a mistake.  There are two sets of can wires at the steering column.  All orange with different color tracers.  Once I found the second one and could clearly see I had the wrong color, I switched my wires and it worked.
Good catch, glad you got it going!
