We supply you with the appropriate original parts for easy retrofitting of your AUDI A5 8T 8F.

If an interior mirror is currently installed which is only glued to the window with an adhesive dot (see article image), the windscreen must be replaced with a windscreen with a mount for the light/rain sensor (or with a mount for the automatically dimming interior mirror) (your car glass specialist will know this).

All other windscreens with "hooked" interior mirrors that can be turned to the left (e.g. factory-installed with automatically dimming interior mirrors or 2-zone Climatronic) are always suitable and do NOT need to be replaced.

The light/rain sensor is a separate component and has NOT anything to do with the interior mirror; it is located behind the interior mirror in a holder (there is currently a blank cover installed there).

Installation information:

The light switch is unplugged and replaced 1:1 with the light switch with an additional "AUTO" position.

The interior mirror is simply turned to the left - the blind cover behind it is replaced with the light/rain sensor.

The cable set connects the light/rain sensor to the central electrics in the driver's footwell (only three wires).

Code according to installation instructions - DONE!
