Heres a writeup on my DIY for lowline cars: Link

did a quick google search for you 5th link http://audiforum.us/c5-platform/5974...-function.html

The one you found Bische is for left hand drive, is it the one you need? I thought Sweeden drove on the left. The one Wrightc21 is giving you is for the United Kingdom spec, Euro spec or Right hand drive.

Thanks, that wont work my a4 im afraid I'll take the easy way and wire a relay i think.

Sweden drives on the right, with lefthand cars :) Only the mailcars have righthanded cars.

EDIT: We used to drive on the right back inte the 70's

So the one you have on the e-bay link will work for you. The wiring harness is the same just so you should be able to use the one from Audiforum.us easily. Good luck, be careful messing with those wires.

He says that his DIY wirteup doesnt apply to lowline cars, but i'll figure something out

[Dan1969]

OIC, well, good luck whatever you decide to do, I know there's a place in the UK called hazzy days, they install electronics on VAG vehicles, maybe if you look them up they have a write up. They frequent that forum and are an advertiser there.

i'm still not 100% sure what this coming home feature is. can anyone explain?

[Undisputed]

When you lock or unlock the car it leaves the driving lights on for a while to illuminate your path or help you find the car.

[Dan1969]

I believe it came with all the 3 liter cars. I'm not sure though.

Found this also: Audi A3 8P CH retrofit

This is the kind of mod im after, only the CH.

I bet that confused a lot of people and there were some very interesting wrecks when they switched

[LZ5L3.0]

my 3.0 doesn't have this. maybe a later model year than 02?

I really love this feature on my mom's B7.

[NyteEscape]

my 3.0 has this. awfully jealous when just the fogs turn on.

[Bische]

Can someone please post wiring diagrams for the interior lights? And if possible for the "E" module?

[gtsingh91]

I know the A8's have this. It's pretty sick.

has anyone ever done this mod to the b6? that seems entirely too easy.

[Undisputed]

I think it came in the lighting package. My 05' USP has it. I love the feature too.

[boostedAvant]

My 04 Sport package Avant has this I thought it was standard on B6's. I love it with my yellow fogs.

[A4natomical]

ding ding. me too.

it works with the 'auto' headlight feature, which the ambient light is measured by the special rear view mirror then will turn the fogs on accordingly.

[Bische]

From what I've read: yes, if you have the "F" module(highline).
I have the "e" module (lowline) so ihave to either swicth module or build my own coming home.

I am building my own but I miss some wiring diagrams to complete it, I need diagrams for the interior lightning

Yeah, I love that part. Comes on at dusk, night, or on really cloudy days.

I went to my stealership and got hold of wiring diagrams!

I will install my custom coming home this weekend if i get some time free

Please please please post a DIY of this when you have finished. I really want this for my car! Thanks

Will do that, keep in mind you got the highline module so it wont work the exact same way with your wiring.

if you have the "f" module, you should be able to follow the 8P A3 DIY i posted.

[SilvA4Q]

yea im patiently awaiting the DIY also since my car is the "E" setup. hows the work coming so far?

[mayhem]

Dying for this feature myself. Always found it really odd that it was even possile to get an Audi in 2002 without automatic headlights...especially since it has auto dimming rear and side view mirrors. Haven't had a car in 10 years that I had to turn the lights on...weird.

So my car has manual headlights...can I retrofit it with coming home or do you need auto lights? I'm assuming my car is an E car since I have manual lights?

[JMRQuattro]

I'm pretty sure that this feature, and also the auto feature for headlights, was offered for 2004+ models. This has been discussed before and i think that was the verdict that was reached. I wish i had both of those features as well.

You can retrofit this, but this is not an easy task, this involves installing sensors, modules and lots of wiring. I'm pretty sure someone has done this here, Avanteix maybe... I actually pulled the new switch along with the new plate that has the coming home button off a B7 and replaced mine. The switch works fine, the Auto actually works (kind off) without a sensor, the lights just turn on and off with the car but they will be on at all times and will turn off as you turn the car off. The coming home of course don't work just there for looks.

[SilvA4Q]

any progress? just wondering if you were able to get the diagram and try to get the coming home feature to work.

[SilvA4Q]

anything?

[Bische]

I got it working but i need to tweak it some, I thought to wait with the video until it's 100%

But yeah, it's working and I got it, just in need of some tweaks before I write an DIY.

[ChrisFurlong]

Awesome! Can't wait for the DIY

[SilvA4Q]

[gtsingh91]
