Hi Everyone,
I recently acquired a replacement tray to replace the ashtray in our 2005 A3 S-Line with single DIN stereo.
While at at I thought it would be good to install ambient lighting to the cubbyhole.
I've checked the underneath of the HVAC/climate control unit and looks like its smooth as butter and doesn't have any cutout for installing a LED strip. Makes sense as the car didn't come with the interior lighting pack. I had to install the door and footwell lights myself.
From what I gather, I need need the following parts to start with:
1. 8P0 864 138 D 4 PK - this is the trim for single DIN climate control units with the LED cutout
2. 8P0 858 433 - this is the cover for the LED cutout
What I'm not sure is if I need the following part:
8P0 857 355 - this is the LED strip/light that fits into the trim.
Since I'm removing the existing ashtray and that comes with its own LED light, is it possible to fit that to the trim?
Many thanks.
