last question.. is there easy way to replace side mirror switch?
For audi a6 2.8 2000?
I already check a lot of forum,
The boston driver adviced to pull it out by pulling it through the cup holders, and i tried it.. but it is not easy for me.. my finger stuck and very painful.. also i could not pull strong, so i did not come out.
Also, i tried to use flat driver, but it semms like to break the panel. Anybody know how to do this job? I'm looking forward your knowledgeable information..
Thanks for all of your help..

My fingers were too fat too. I crafted a tool out of one of those paint can
openers you get for free from Home depot when you buy paint (the one w/ a bottle opener on the end?) I cut 1/2 of the circular bottle opener part off, so it looked kinda like a question mark (?) Stuck the rounded end in thru the cupholder and pryed up (carefully). Popped right out.
BTW, if you order a new switch from the dealer you'll likely get one that controls power-folding mirrors. Don't worry, it'll control your non-power-folding mirrrors (but won't fold them--upgraded internals required for that feature).

depends on what "easy" means to you. I'd have a tough time parting w/ the $
for it (cool feature, but not worth it IMO, at least not while I'm still riding on the stock suspension--go before show is my mantra).
Someone on this forum posted a DIY 3 or so weeks ago, and it didn't sound like too tough a job. You need to replace at least the guts of the mirror housing, maybe the entire thing. Check Shokan for used parts.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a6/msgs/705849.phtml">EDIT: here's the post (so it was longer than 3 weeks ago)</a></li></ul>
