Default A3 Tailights - Rear fog addition possible ?

Adding a rear fog and/or 2nd stop light is a popular mod in the VW GET/Jetta/Passat community. It's incredibly simple because there's already an empty light socket. You just add a European light switch and a simply fabricated jumper wire to the tailight assembly. Is this possible with the A3?

Default Not with 2009 car, and that DIY.

MET17 has completely different long coding - you could use the same method, but the VAGCOM steps will be completely different.

Default Mine will be a 2009 when it arrives in a couple of weeks

Too bad I can't do this mod, I did it on my Passat.

Default I'm not saying we _can't_ do it, just we can't yet.

Someone needs to sit down and work out the long coding for our MET17 ecus, like OOOO-A3 did for the MET9.5.

It'll only be a matter of time.

I'm in a strange boat - I have the old body style with the new ecu.
