I would first find out what version gateway you have installed as in all likelyhood you will need an updated one to avoid battery drain.
Without traction power is nothing!

Most likely will need a new gateway unless you have the sound pack upgrade which has the amp under the passenger seat- my 55 plate does and that seems to turn everything off so no drain.

If you plug in the headunit and hold down the setup button for about 5 to 10 seconds you can then get to the screen that has the system info
VCDS cable HEX-USB+CAN. New but can do the basics including coding
