No need to remove it for dealer visits Jeni, just turn it off and leave it in the little cubby box and cover it with a duster.

You can get a harness for the indicators to do this https://youtu.be/GUS0ZPa_XFQ

Takes 2 minutes per side to fit and I could be persuaded to sell mine.

Re the dynamic rear indicators, you need to be aware of the fact that as the pre-facelift MK7's only used 2 LED elements (one in the outside light and one on the inboard light in the boot lid) for the indicator strip, that you can only at best get a two step indicator function.

Certainly not the smooth sweep like Audi's and the face-lifted MK7.5's as they use individual LED elements along the length of the light that can be activated independently given that smooth flow. The only way to emulate that is to retrofit the MK7.5 rear lights (quite expensive methinks).
