Product attributes:

The retrofitting of the original lane change assistant / side assist is possible on all AUDI A3 / S3 / RS3 8V pre-facelift models up to and including model year 2016 as well as all body styles (sportback, 3-door, sedan, convertible).

The retrofit package for your facelift model from model year 2017 onwards requires the Side-Assist retrofit package with article number: 16437

For AUDI A3 8V models without a factory-installed diagnostic interface / Gateway Highline, this control unit must also be replaced.

This is how you can check whether the current diagnostic interface is a Highline and therefore suitable: Connect the vehicle to a diagnostic system (e.g. VCDS / KECODI) - open address 19 - the following appears in the information field:

Gateway HIGH = high = suitable (control unit does not need to be replaced)

INFO: Models which have, for example, a multifunction steering wheel, navigation with touch input or an assistance system such as ACC / lane assist etc. always have a suitable Highline Gateway installed at the factory - this does not need to be replaced.

Gateway MED = medium = not suitable

Gateway LOW = low = not suitable

The two mirror housings with the integrated warning displays for the side assist can be ordered optionally.

If, for example, you would like to install completely different exterior mirrors (e.g. because you would like to convert to folding exterior mirrors / second-hand exterior mirrors, etc.), you do not need to order the mirror caps.

If you wish, we can deliver these to you already painted in the correct color - so you receive a retrofit package ready for installation.

Painting work is carried out by a master automotive paint shop using the chassis number provided / the paint code stored there.

Models with currently installed S / RS mirror caps in "aluminium / alu matt" can also be supplied on request (+ approx. 450EUR).
