wpoll will become famous soon enough
I think Andrew might be on to this - an early build car will have only DME and EGS on the 16-pin OBD - everything else is on the 20-pin connector under the hood.

It's possible to use jumpers on the cap pins of the 20-pin to route the other modules bus through to the 16-pin. Certainly simplifies things...

And you would think the dealers would know this....
