Hello everybody!
I would like to update the old-school black window switches to the new chromed ones.
These:
to these:
The driver's door is plug-n-play

But for the passenger's doors it's not so easy on my car.
My A2 is an early-production one - it has different (old-school) connectors.
In the picture below you see the new window button (with the new connector) and the connector that my car has:
The new button has 4-pin connector, while the old one has 10-pin connector.
This picture shows both buttons side-by-side:
We can see that only pins 1, 2 and 5 are used in the old button.
Now - here are the diagrams (huge thanks to Tom @2work for the diagrams!!) :
Model-year 2000+
Model-year 2003+
From these diagrams I see that
1. the old button (E107) has three pins involved - 1/58, 2/VR and 5/31 - hooray, this matches the reality.
2. the new button (E107) has five pins involved (!) and these are 1/58, 2/VR, 3/VR, 5/31 and 2/31 - this is something I am not getting.
How can I connect wires from my old-type connector to the new-type button?
Pins 2/VR and 2/31 are not the same pins?
Can anyone help me by making a wiring table like this one, please?
(a wiring table for dummies...)
Thanks alot and a great day to everyone!

old-type connector pins | connect to | new-type button pins |
1 | --> | 1 (?) |
2 | --> | 2 & 3 (??) |
5 | --> | 4 (??) |
Thanks alot and a great day to everyone!
