Around $35. The Audi/VW part number is 4A0-905-849-B. Very good instructions can be gotten here. http://mike.focke.googlepages.com/ignitionswitchreplacement . or here. http://industryfigure.com/berkeley/Porsche/ignitionswitch.htm Its a little cramped under there but not too bad once you figure out where those darn little screws are and how to hold your left arm jusssssttttt so to get to them. Took me less than an hour start to finish. Be sure to disconnect your battery and be equally sure you have your radio code!

I believe the Audi/VW switch is the older plastic style switch. Porsche has revised the switch, and the newer one is the one that I posted the link to in my previous post. I just replaced my switch a few months ago with the newer type.
