This component is dedicated to Audi vehicles, ensuring proper fitment to the steering column, correct mounting geometry, and compatibility with the vehicle's electrical system.

The switch belongs to the Switches, control elements and ignition locks group, meaning it has been designed to work with the steering system within the steering column. The design allows for installation in factory mounting points, which facilitates service and reduces the time required for replacement.

Its original Audi origin helps maintain stylistic and functional consistency with other interior components – both in terms of shape and the way the levers operate, as well as the tactile feel of the switches.

Characteristics of the used component

The offered switch is a used component, which in practice means it has been removed from a vehicle and verified for further operational suitability. This type of part allows for an economical repair of the steering system while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications.

Choosing a used OEM component is particularly beneficial in situations where you want to maintain factory build quality while optimizing repair costs compared to purchasing a new part.
