Just get me clued-in on how to make it happen.
It is the price for a single unit. The "4PK" is part of the part number, not a quantity designator

Is this something you can ask the dealer to do for you or does Audi see this type of thing as a no-no?

Does this feature steer the vehicle back into the lane, or just vibrate only?

Vibration for warning. It also keeps the car in lane, but doesn't really steer it back once you left it.

Details to follow.
Assuming that you've done this mod to your A7 and everything is in working order?

Are we waiting on your write up? If the mod isn't too difficult, I would definitely want to have this feature in my car.

Default A bit of education

If somebody could be so kind to summarize this thread, and what it is saying. I am able to get lane assist out of it, but also heard internet radio and a few other things.

I would need to get ?
It is easy or hard to do?
European part only?

Please advise for us "novices".

If you have side assist and ACC installed on your A7, it is possible to activate the lane assist option. No reference here to any other option!

Since a button on the end of the indicator lever needs to be pushed to start and stop the function, the indicator lever assembly has to be replaced with the European part 4G8953502P 4PK (about EUR 166) that contains the button.

The coding also needs to be modified using Vagcom.

We are still waiting for the following information:

1. Does the car contain the wiring and connector that the wires from the button on the new stick plug into or do we have to add some wiring?

2. Coding information.

Until we get further info on the above, there is no way to tell how easy or difficult the conversion is.
