Could be the start isolator on the trans.
Only lets you start it in P or N or the connector at the starter motor.

Have an xf that does the same thing. Try starting it in Neutrl everytime and see if you have the same problem, if you don't then you know it's probably the auto isolator switch. As dumb as it sounds, also check your battery connections, if they are a bit loose they may cause you greif. Although i doubt this is the solution in your case its worth just making sure

try one of two things. clean your key with metho. it could be this, as its happened to me once or twice.
OR if that doesnt help, give the transmission a tap from inside the car. just to the left of the gearstick, give it an open palm as youre turning the key. if it starts when you do it, get used to it, or get another s3 solenoid

thats the ticket, but youll find its actually not the wiring, its one of the solenoids in the gearbox
a lot of step by step troubleshooting went into that one
