Over the last days, the paint shop completely stripped the old paint from the middle and rear areas of the car.

Over the last two days, we connected the lower console in the car. Now, the scanner can be controlled via the lower console, which also shows the scanner's function. After that, we finally connected the second battery in the trunk and connected the scanner to the emergency break. Now it can not be activated while driving - the only legal way in Germany.
