I've read most of the posts regarding this subject on this forum and everybody goes either to the cig or the OEM way so I'm guessing there is no chance to find the wiring with the connector already there and tucked away? For me it makes sense to have only one type of electrical loom and then plug in stuff according to trim level?ДЇor MMI control of the cupholder light, I have confirmed that these adaptation changes are correct: including models using a direct CAN connection fordiagnostics. Thanks again to everyone for the help over the years I recently purchased a VCDS 12.12 Interface Never Locked from a popular chinese clone website. VCDS Hex USB diagnostic cable for Audi VW OBD2 interface vcds cable 12.12 VAG Diagnostic. My plan is to splice into the cig wires as per above.

No melting plastic tabs for me, happy days! I hope this helps someone who doesn't want to do the melting/gluing bit, I know it works out cheaper to buy only the rings and wiring but in my case, I had to replace the cupholder anyway as it got defaced (long story, don't ask). I don't know if it makes any difference but when I ordered I used the reg of an S3 which they had in the yard approved used (I knew it has the lights package).

The p/n is exactly the same as the one from my car which doesn't have the ring so there was alot of confusion before buying as even the guys from Audi didn't know what to think then.ДЄfter failing to get the part s/h I've decided to bite the bullet and ordered it, p/n 8V2864261C 6PS, ВЈ67.99 from the dealers. Right! I've managed to get the cupholder trim WITH the LED ring already in it new from the dealer. We'll slide a high quality, rather long flat plastic removal tool between the center console top and bottom parts at the marked spot (this spot is parallel to the center MMI button so you can use that as reference): We'll start by removing the center console located between the seats. Press the test button and the test window will show. Then you select the port or USB that it is connected to. Go to the options menu and it will show the tab port and protocol options. Genuine LED Cupholder Light Ring (Part Number 8V0947157A): I used a kit from AliExpress that comes with the connector and two wires. Plug the cable into the car and to the laptop and turn the ignition on.The main challenge here is to divide the center console into two parts using a soldering iron because it's soldered from the factory. This retrofit is suitable for both beginner and experienced retrofitters. This time I'll be focusing on a rather easy retrofit which are the genuine LED cupholder lights. After lurking here for a while and using the information with the helper of forum members for various project on my 2013 A3 8V, I decided to give back and write a guide.
