OEM Retrofit | Audi A5 F5 – Virtual Cockpit, Navigation & Feature Activations
This Audi A5 F5 visited us from Stockholm for a combination of hardware upgrades and software activations.
The main upgrade was the installation of a brand-new Audi Virtual Cockpit, bringing a more modern look and significantly improved functionality compared to the standard instrument cluster.
What we installed:
✅ Brand-new Audi Virtual Cockpit
✅ Sport design activated
✅ RS Sport design activated
✅ RS Performance design activated
✅ Newest navigation maps installed
To get the most out of the Virtual Cockpit, we also activated the navigation system.
The vehicle suffered from a defective Function on Demand (FoD) setup, meaning navigation could not be purchased or activated through Audi's online services. We were therefore able to activate the system and restore full functionality.
In addition, we performed several software activations:
✅ Traffic Sign Recognition
✅ Subwoofer Menu activation
✅ Remote tailgate closing via key fob and interior button
✅ Full RS taillight animation activation
The Subwoofer Menu adds a dedicated subwoofer adjustment inside the MMI, significantly improving the sound experience on vehicles equipped with Audi Sound System.
The RS taillight animation activation was a full activation, as the vehicle originally did not have any taillight animation available.
All hardware installed was brand-new original Audi parts, with all coding, adaptation, and integration carried out in-house.
The result is a significantly more modern A5 with improved functionality, additional driver information, enhanced audio settings, and a much more capable Virtual Cockpit.
📍 Installed at our workshop in Vellinge, Sweden
