Purpose and function in the vehicle

• working with factory buttons and displays on the dashboard,
• maintaining the original operating logic known from factory Audi equipment. Thanks to this, installing such a module allows for consistent electronic performance without the need to adapt universal aftermarket solutions.

Characteristics of the used module

Before installation, a standard diagnostic procedure is recommended, as well as module adaptation using an appropriate service interface if necessary, in accordance with practices used in modern Audi group vehicles.
