2011 VW GTI need brake to start

Question

I am using an EVO-ALL with TB-VW, FW 75.34 in standalone remote start mode. The car is a 2011 VW GTI with DSG automatic transmission and key ignition. (not PTS) Programming successful using guide 61381 dated 20161222 but car will not remote start unless I depress the brakes. The guide does not mention any specific signals related to foot brakes. What am I missing?

Wirecolor mentions the foot brake wire and a note about the black wire on the EVO-ALL 20 pin connector. This black wire according to guide 61381 is an output from the EVO-ALL and connected to (+)ignition. The black wire is connected as per the guide.

The EVO-ALL should have options C1,D1 and D2. I can see it unlock the car before trying to start. Below is a video showing the LEDs during start:

First time I hear of a 2011 GTI requiring brake to start !

In this vehicle the brake wire is black/red and can be found at pin 17 of the same connector you have connected the hazard light.

You can use the yellow/red wire and split the signal with two diodes to power the brake and the starter wire.

Same kind of setup found in this guide : http://cdn.fortin.ca/download/61531/evo-all_ig_sal_bi_vol-jetta_2011-2014_key_tb_c_61531.pdf

THE BRAKE WIRE IS NOT AT THE PLACE SHOWN IN THIS GUIDE, THIS IS ONLY TO SHOW HOW TO WIRE THE DIODES CORRECTLY.
