       The relay for the fridge set-up is available at most electronics 
stores much cheaper.  It is just a simple 40 amp five pin relay.  The fifth 
pin is just a place to pick up the 12 v power for the on all the time 
circuit.  You could use an ordinary 40 amp four pin relay and make a jumper 
from pin 30 to do the same thing as the 5 pin relay does.  No need to spend 
the big bucks at VW.
