AUDI A3 8V Cabriolet Hill Hold Hill Start Assist retrofit package

Significantly upgrade your AUDI A3 8V Cabriolet with the original hill start assist / hill hold.

This means your AUDI A3 8V Cabriolet will automatically stop where you are WITHOUT having to press the brake pedal.


Here we provide you with the complete package for the installation of this additional equipment, often also called "Auto-Hold".

After briefly plugging it into the very easily accessible OBD diagnostic interface in the driver's footwell, the coding dongle supplied here completes the automatic activation of the hill start assist / HillHold with the help of the innovative APP that is already pre-configured for you.
In addition, the so-called automatic handbrake is also activated.
When you turn off the engine, the handbrake is automatically applied and released again when you start driving, so you no longer have to press the handbrake button yourself.

Functional description:

• You can stop on a slope WITHOUT USING THE BRAKE PEDAL without rolling backwards or forwards.
• You can leave the automatic gearshift lever on D/S and take your foot off the brake - the vehicle will ALWAYS stay in one place without moving - by pressing the accelerator pedal your AUDI will start moving again immediately (even if the start/stop system is switched on).
• With manual transmissions, it is sufficient to operate the clutch with the gear engaged OR, as with automatic models, not to operate any pedal at all.
• You no longer need to apply the parking brake if you want to get out of the vehicle for a short time, etc.
• When you park your AUDI A3 8V you no longer need to use the handbrake - after removing the ignition key (or pressing a button with KeylessGo) the engine switches off AND the parking brake is applied automatically (the handbrake is activated).
• You can activate or deactivate the system at any time by pressing a button on the new parking brake switch.
• A very comfortable special equipment for your AUDI A3 8V Cabriolet.
