You can shop the part for best price.

The OBC hack has you installing the four stalk lever assembly, but the poor man's version uses a tip switch. I have a spare window switch that I was using for GDO.
Someone mentioned the Targa switch legends looked like a garage door, so I had to have it.

The OBC hack is in various places on the Forum, but here's the article:

I'm going to try a rotary encoder switch (like the one on the radio) to add "up" or "back" because you can use a third wire. Stay tuned for this one!
Thanks for the detail! Can't wait to see how the switch goes.

Installed the VW relay for the wiper delay.
The rain sensor was just finicky, and I wanted an adjustable one. The relay cost me 13.60 shipped from Latvia 12V 6Pin # 95VW17C499BA / 357955531 / No. 99 _TESTED RELAY_ VW Audi Seat Skoda.

Rotary encoder does not work as a rotary switch. My '99 OBC is enabled, but I have the basic display, so am going with poor-man's tip switch version. I did run across a 4-wat toggle switch that I considered to mount into the left bezel hole:

This would be a cool way for those that have the enhanced display, but don't want to install the 4 stalk.
