Install Trip Computer in 99.5 A4?
I have had my 99.5 A4 1.8TWDM for about 2 months (my 3rd one) and love it to death. The only stock option missing is the trip computer which I miss as my last Audi had one. Is it possible to install one (getting an odometer with the trip computer and turn signal stalk from a junk yard)? Has anyone done it? Any known DIY guides on this one?
Thanks!

It's not as simple as that. There are sensors and wiring that your car is missing to make the trip computer work. A lot of people have talked about doing it, but gave up as the costs became to high.
I retro fitted one to my last BMW, had to get an entire section of loom, and the full set of sensors for it. Luckily i was able to find most of it in scrap yards.
You'll need to strip the dash in order to fit it, and you'll need a different set of clocks and all the wiring loom for it.
