Installing computer in 98 A4
The A4 on the lot had everything we wanted except for the computer and we bought it because we didn't want to wait the two months it would take for a 99 with a computer. Has anyone added a computer module to a car that didn't come with the option? Is it even possible? The salesman thought not. The service manager doesn't know and isn't too anxious to be helpful.<p><p>Any help/ideas are appreciated!

I have the computer (came on the car on the lot)....
It was fun for about 2 weeks. Avg MGP is nice, but you can calculate that yourself on every fill up. Miles till empty is not exact (at least it gets to 0 before I run out of gas). Speed warning is just annoying. I hate the Current MPG figure because it makes me feel guilty anytime I press the gas. Time in car, look at the clock. Average speed, who cares. The check fluid sensors are cool, but I check my own fluids anyway.<p>You know as I write this, I realize that these are all opinions and you may really want these features on your A4. Well, I won't delete this now, but IMHO you're not missing much.
