Morning everybody.

Pretty sure this hasn’t been covered after many searchings.

I’m looking at swapping the indicator stalk for the A3 one as I hate the switch on the indicator. My 2004 A4 has a separate lever below the indicator stalk and my previous 2017 A3 had one as well and I prefer it so so much for functionality. Does anyone have any information on these? I have found pics for reference but there’s an extra plug on the A3 could this be repinned as the functions are identical. 

Another thing I came across is coding to tell my car that cruise is controlled by a separate stalk vs indicator.

 

So any information from people in the know?

 

Pics from eBay for reference.

the additional stalk is from the adaptive cruise control. This will not be trivial...

Not on the set the OP posted, that looks like standard CC based on the functions (speed not distance etc).

 

It's probably possible but unlikely to be a straight swap.

 

You'll need to figure out what each function does to the wires as they tend to use a few resistor ladders normally. You can then modify the new stalks to match at which point, hopefully they'll work

 

It's worth checking they use the same carrier to attach the stalks to the steering column too as there are a few styles. If not, that might need messing with too.

Thanks for the input. Im going to give it ago (eBay seller was rapid!) Im sat staring at it thinking there is a lot of room for combinations of pins and blank holes and the plugs look the same. Wish me luck

You'll probably need to move resistors around on the PCB's and possibly even bridge/cut some tracks

Update in case anyone is as anal as me and wants to give this a go.

 

The mounting is different but would be possible to be butchered to fit, as it has the same dia steering column. The plugs are of the same design however the cc stalk on the a3 has its plug.

 

I tried plugging indicators and wipers in before doing anything with the cruise and the wipers went haywire.

 

After realising it was a procrastination tactic for Uni I have binned the idea and accepted my standard stalks
