Electric Window Switch Compatibility

My Soul Black driver's window switch is starting to look a bit tatty - can I replace it with a B6 A4 switch, or are they more different than they look?
 
It does not look like anyone has tried this switch swap so you'll need to do a bit of research by comparing part numbers - http://www.partsbase.org/audi/eu/

If they are different numbers it's still possible it will work but then its down to 'trial and error' and a chance of wasting some cash.

Window switch from A4 to A2

Just fitted a 4 window switch for an A4 (new on eBay £15 delivered - Item Number - 191448522269) to my A2, works a treat, just make sure you get the right one (different ones fitted on A4 depending on year, etc).

For a LHD car provided the connector is the same and the rear disable switch is the same then this switch block will work.

I have ordered a cheap chinese copy for few GBP to test and if it will be compatible, I will buy used Audi part.
I will report back, when I get it and test it.

Finally I had some time and replaced the drivers windows switch assembly. Here are the results of first hand testing :) (have in mind this was done on a LHD car):
Audi A2 drivers windows switch assembly: 8Z0 959 851
Audi A4 B6/B7 factory windows switch assembly: 8E0 959 851 B (fully compatible)
Audi A2 mirror switch: 8E0 959 565 A
Audi A4 B6/B7 mirror switch: 8E0 959 565 A (fully compatible)
Audi A2 passenger window switch: 8Z0 959 855
Audi A4 B6/B7 passenger window switch (NOT COMPATIBLE WITH A2 SWITCH): 8ED 959 855

I will try to find a genuine Audi A4 B6/B7 switch assebly with exactly the same symbols, if not successfull this switch assembly works perfect. I have checked a new non Audi switch assembly and they all have the same symbols as the currenty installed one.

Here is also a video of the replacement with the comparison of the switches:
