    Dis wiper stalk

    my car is an 05 A4 avant s line which doesnt have the dis in the centre of the instrument cluster and only has the standard wiper stalk (no buttons on end of it) Will fitting a dis wiper stalk enable me to have the display give me more info than just the range as it does now.
