if you can , match it to where ever the white plug is on your factory side of the stereo harness it should be on the side where it connects to the blue/ white

harness Blue white = amp remote
Blue Power = antenna

on audi white is amp remote

U push the fog light button in the center by the hazard lights when you have your low beam headlights on... its that easy.

Edit... oops wait you might have pre face lift. Idk if it is in the same spot or not
