I dream of having test boards like this in my shop for vehicle electrical & network diagnostics. Imagine having to dig to the connections of each of these components mounted in a car, especially one as compact as a TT, and that will give you some idea of what techs have to go through now. The bummer is that it would be prohibitively expensive to construct a board that could support more than one model, let alone make. This is porn for diagnostic techs, thanks!

Okay. I knew there was a lot of onboard gadgetry, but that's impressive given that you can't see most of it. I also now desperately want a similar photo of the innards of an E21, which I doubt exists.
