Yep, as C2 say but ignore the Emerald manual if it says the cam position sensor needs 5V. Some do, but the VR6 one needs 12V ;-)

If the Emerald has switchable batch / sequential, it's a good idea to start the motor in batched mode because whilst cranking, the cam sensor may not recieve 12V from the battery and therefore not give a signal. It's how DTA do it. I.e. Switches to sequential when the engine is running.

Yeah the inductive sensor wiring can be confusing on aftermarket ECUs because as you say, you have a signal and ground and that's it.....but VW did us a favour by shielding the signal wires and fitting gold contacts on the plug :-)
