So I tried the same CarNet/telematics removal & jumper method on my 2014 Beetle TDI, which has the same telematics module under the passenger seat and has been giving me "open circuit" faults in the 77 Telephone module related to the microphone ever since I swapped out the factory radio for an aftermarket android radio. I successfully removed the telematics module, both physically and from the gateway coding. I then jumpered the pins on the telematics connector as per the instructions found in this thread, but the microphone "open circuit" faults persist and come back even after clearing.
Since in my case I didn't swap the radio for a different VW model, but an aftermarket one, might that explain why the jumper method didn't help clear the faults? I really don't need the microphones at all, as my Android head unit has one built-in. I just want the fault to go away and don't need any VW built-in mic, telematics or bluetooth functionality. Thanks.
P.S.: I recognize I'm not in the correct car-specific thread, but seeing that this has sort of developed into a master thread on this topic, I figured my best shot for an answer is to respond to this existing thread with plenty of experts in it already.
P.P.S.: The wiring I used for the jumpers is from paper clips.
