chances are it wont work because the ECU isn't up to it and no data could be sent through wires/ sensors you don't have

Read this thread in its ENTIRETY.

I am assuming that you have a 2006 or 2007 A3. You do NOT need to replace the cluster. You need to ENABLE the trip computer, and INSTALL a more "advanced" wiper stalk if you want to access the functions of the trip computer.

As for sensors, or the lack thereof, the only one at issue is the low wiper fluid warning. Probably not worth it to get sensor and install it.

its the connector I was concerned with ( how many pins ) for the old verses the upgrade, sensors are not a problem they are there or not if the system cant see them then they don't exist
