I've currently got an electrically-driven one languishing in the bottom of the 
driver's side cubby hole, down by the side of the steering column.  _I_ can see 
it, no one else can.  I'd like a digital one to match the orange display, but 
I'd much prefer one that wasn't dependent on the Audi sender.  I'd like to fit 
a T-piece and use a second sender - the Audi jampot (jellypot?) has failed 
twice in 70,000 miles - once almost a thousand miles from home.
