It is a lever mounted in the 2 o'clock position around the lumbar controls. It moves between 1-3 o'clock.

It looks like their new roof modules are much easier to install than their first generation, so I'm not too worried to try to do it myself. Biggest concern is getting the trim pieces off and getting those re-installed nicely.

I received and installed my controller from mods4cars - now I feel the top operates as it should have from the factory.

Installation was a bitch - really only problem was the paneling but I managed to get it all back in perfectly. Wiring is totally easy and nearly fool proof.

Good luck with your install.

Couple of questions for you:

1) there are 2 6-pin connectors you can plug in to, I assume you plugged that one in to the bottom one on the Audi module?

2) did you leave the USB cable attached for future updates? If so, how did you route / hide it?

This'll be my first car install of anything really, so I'm excited and a bit scared at the same time, hehe

1 - here are some pictures of the install. The m4c harness goes between the OEM controller and the m4c controller:

The colored arrows connect to the OEM controller and the circled harness connections are connected to eachother.

This is the mess when the m4c harness is connected:

2 - Yes, I left the USB cable attached (configured the controller from the computer before installing). The OEM controller is just behind the 12v socket. The housing has an empty slot so I put the m4c controller in there. Next to the 12v socket is a plastic vent that pops out (you'll need to pop it out anyway to remove the paneling). I can reach in from there and grab the USB cable easily. Actually, I can probably grab the m4c controller just as easily but I left the cable on.
