OBC Hack - Switch/Stalk Swap - Tolpants??
Last fall I did the OBC Hack using a footwell light switch, but I got tired of reaching around the steering wheel to switch functions. I recently picked up a 4 stalk column switch and want to swap out the light switch. Toolpants (or anyone else), can I use the wiring for the light switch and just adapt it to the column stalk switch. Any help will be appreciated!!
Ironically, I also modified the footwell light switch so the indicator light up to show when my spoiler is raised so I won't be getting rid of it. I have a couple on exra footwell light switches if anyone is looking for one.

I was looking for a clarification on this hack, after doing a search. Is this a true statement? (for '00):
"If temperature is being displayed, the OBC has been activated. The stalk (or switch) can be added to cycle through the functions".
thanks!

Yes, that is a true statment. Check out this link and do a search on ODB here and on Renntech.org:

You need to start over. The wire harness for the switch is different then for the stalk. You also need a connector for the stalk that you diid not need with the switch.
You will also go from VW 2 wires to the instrument cluster to 4 wires.
But someone will buy your used parts.
