Audi hidden functions

Audi builds many functions into its control modules and leaves them switched off for each market. We activate them by coding the car's own modules, so they work like factory options.

What it is

What is a hidden function?

Modern cars share the same hardware across many trims and markets. The difference between them is often only software: a setting in a control module that turns a function on or off.

Coding changes those settings for your vehicle. Most functions need no extra hardware, use the original buttons and menus, and can be reversed later.

Before we start, we read your vehicle's configuration and confirm which functions it supports.

Availability depends on model, year, market and installed equipment. We confirm what your vehicle supports from its VIN before any work starts.

Matrix LED, dynamic turn signals, traffic sign recognition and the sport layout need the matching headlights, camera or model. We confirm this from your VIN.

Video in motion is intended for passengers only. Some lighting changes, including matrix high beam, may not be permitted for road use in every state; check your local regulations.
