Hi.
Can some on help me out here?
I am looking for the part no for the "S" button in the RS3

I am planing to use it for activating my Haldex performance controller in "Race mode"
Have ordered a switch from "RealCar4You" with the relay controll

But I like the "S" button more since it have a red status light when activated.

Can anyone help?
Thanks

I know you want that switch but consider the remote control unit with a key fob wireless switch. I have it and it comes in handy.Comes with 3 modes, race, regular and econ for long driving

Thanks for the heads up on the remote setup. I already know about this, but prefer a wired solution.
By using the centre consol button I get the OEM look witch I like.

Anyone kan help me with the part no?


Thanks

Ouch! Did not know that. Mine is a 2009 facelift​

Did my center console come with a button with a LED status that could be used symbol wise?

Thanks for any help getting my OEM look project.

PS. Can I change the complete center consol frame to get the new style?

2011 onwards where it has a chrome strip at the top and bottom buttons are fixed, yes the start/stop botton has a led status that can be used on a 2009 model.

yes its a straight fit but the connections on the back are different on 2011 models so would need elsawin to know where to move new wires to.

The Start/Stop is not in the centre consol or?
Dont think it would be that OEM then.

I have these buttons seen from left as pos1 to right!
Pos1 = Blank (this is where the "S" button would be"
Pos2 = ESP
Pos3 = Blank (this is where the already ordered button is going)
Pos4-6 = card tray (does the 2011 and on models have the tray?)

If the new frame/buttons are a staight swap can it be ordered with my spec?
If so I would love to use Pos3 as park sensor "off" (I have the trailer connection) instead of the spesial ordered switch (it would'nt fit any way)

Thanks again.
