Tom, your reply confuses me.  As with most problems with CIS, unless you are
a common guru in the subject, most of us are left scratching our heads.  I
have read most, if not all information I could conjure up, from libraries to
the www, to the Bentley descriptions.  I am confident I have a more than
basic understanding of the system.  All I was trying to accomplish with my
post was to see if I missed anything, or if any of the other members could
offer suggestions to aid me with this dilemma.  Comments like "<deleted
because you are too lazy to push return/enter>" and " Ignore Huw.  He is a
common idiot who throws the baby out with the bathwater when he can't fix
the problem because after 20 years of owning Audis with CIS, he still
doesn't really understand the CIS system." are, in my opinion, totally off
side and have no place in a forum like this.  Jacking someone's post is
pathetic.  Just my opinion.
I will reiterate, thank you to all that offered thoughts and views.
And by the way Tom, what was your suggestion again?

Dan
