Default audi a6 c6 electrical gremlins! j518??

Long story short...
central locking doesn't work, and ignition only brings on sidelights and mmi with climate control lights and functions.
This all started after draining battery and then trying to jump start it.
Seems like symptoms to me of bad control access module j518 - although i have read battery may need recoding?

Please someone help, pulling my hair out here!
