welcome

i think it depends on which Central Electrics Control Module (CECM - otherwise called "central electrics board") you have

If its on your convenience module (I think this feature is found on most of the modules) then its a very quick job to enable

Cheers guys, Seems like a very helpful forum, I take it if the option is available on VCDS then it can be enabled?

Does the Hazard light get activated or just the brake light?

Is this feature available on a midline equipped Mk5 GTI, does anyone know please?

It's a very good safety feature.

you can get flashing brake lights, but only on higher end CECMs

i really want to do this mod, but i can't find the right CECM for my car and they're about £250 from a dealer (for my Audi A3 anyway)

Mine is a 06-build (post July 2005). Crikey! She's 7 years old very very soon.

....No.

I lost a six-figure sum of money last year and simply can't afford to. Besides which, I'm still in love with my Mk5  :happy2:
