Audi A5 8T 8F Drive Select retrofit package MMI navigation pre-facelift

Significantly upgrade your AUDI A5 8T 8F pre-facelift model with the original drive select system.

With this very easy-to-retrofit system, the engine dynamics, the throttle response, the gearshift behavior, the power steering/Servotronic (the electromechanical steering is tighter or more comfortable at the touch of a button), the quattro sport differential, the dynamic steering and the built-in engine sound system (louder / quieter) of your AUDI A5 can be regulated at the touch of a button

In addition, the interior becomes significantly more attractive thanks to the new button panel.

After briefly plugging it into the very easily accessible OBD diagnostic interface in the driver's footwell, the KECODI coding interface supplied here carries out the complete automatic activation of the drive select system with the help of the innovative KECODI that is already pre-configured for you.

Variant DS right:

The left "ESP" switch panel (these 3 buttons are one unit) remains and we supply you with the original drive select switch panel for the right side (instead of the black blank cover / this drive select switch panel would be factory-installed on right-hand drive models / e.g. England), so you "save" yourself a new "ESP" switch panel, and of course we supply you with original parts here too.

You will therefore receive 1 switch panel - however, your AUDI would not have been delivered in this variant.

The advantage here is that the new "ESP" switch panel is no longer needed.

Variant DS left:

We supply you with the original drive select switch panel for the left side (this is required for right-hand drive models and if you already have a new ESP/APS+ switch panel for the right side

Variant DS left + new "ESP" switch panel:

Below your MMI system, the existing left "ESP" switch panel (these 3 buttons are one unit) is replaced with the supplied left drive select switch panel and the also supplied right "ESP" switch panel is installed on the right (this is the original solution).

You will therefore receive 2 switch panels - this is the version in which your AUDI would have been delivered.

During the ordering process, please select which buttons are currently installed so that we can deliver them (e.g. ESP or ESP with front parking aid APS+, each with or without the electric rear window roller blind).

The functionality is completely identical in each case, so you can freely choose which variant you would like to install.

Product attributes:

The retrofitting of the original drive select system is possible on ALL AUDI A5 / S5 / RS5 8T 8F pre-facelift models up to and including model year 2011 (e.g. 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008) with built-in MMI navigation system (PR number: 7T2, 7T6).

NOT suitable for facelift models FROM model year 2012 (e.g. 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015).

The new drive select switch is connected to the central electrics in the driver's footwell using the supplied and pre-assembled cable set - this automatically controls all other control units installed in your AUDI.

No changes need to be made to the existing control units such as engine / steering / transmission / engine sound system etc. - your AUDI controls these via the central control unit of the central electrics.

Thus, you can achieve a very high effect with this very simple retrofit.

We supply you with the complete retrofit package - you do not need to order any additional parts from your AUDI partner, etc.
