Any one know what this button does? It's in the cubby hole down to right of steering wheel.

Unbolt the panel and trace the wires.

It's a switch someone has retrofitted.

I fitted one in a previous car to fool the earth into allowing DVD in motion, don't know if that would work in an Audi though

ScottD3 · Apr 1, 2014

I've fitted a couple in there.
1 for power to rear inverter, TV tuner and in a different car it was to turn a screen on in the dash.

Press it and see what happens or take it out and see what it is plugged in to.

Maybe previous owner had a radar blocker? Switch that on and off. Tidy install though, very slick what ever its for.

It's a rare optional extra it enables the indicators.

Flick it then try start car. £5 says car won't start.

Mike.M · Apr 1, 2014

It also could have been for a previous install of sat nav.....gala switch......who knows

Without tracing the wires it could be anything.

ruffrida · Apr 1, 2014

sidibear · Apr 1, 2014

Jordib · Apr 1, 2014

Could these wires be it?? Or are they for a standard boot light or something.

Heated seats, lighting of some sort?

AudiLeon · Apr 1, 2014

This thread has got me thinking now. When I sell my car, I'm going to put a random hidden switch and run the wires to nothing deep in the dash. That will really annoy someone for ages lol
