Default Trip Computer

Is it possible to add the trip computer to an A4 that doesn't have it? My dealer couldn't find me one with the trip computer, and I needed the car right away. Please help!<p>I find the fuel warning light totally useless since it beeps when there's 4 gallons left (more than 1/4 tank!!). Then, if I stop the engine, and re-start, the light stays out for a few miles and then goes back on. I can repeat this over and over. You can drive 40 miles on the fuel light, then restart the car and no fuel light until after you pass all of the gas stations, then it goes on. Pardon my simple-mindedness, but I wish the light would remind me to get gas before I get on the parkway...

No, you cannot add a trip computer to the car. It<br>needs a different instrument cluster. It will cost<br>too much !

Default Agreed

I would use the trip odometer and pick a conservative distance. That worked well for me in my old car.
