Activate dynamic turn signals and taillight animations on Audi Q5 and SQ5 FY models (2021–2023) equipped with factory LED taillights. Many vehicles equipped with factory LED taillights support dynamic lighting functions that are not enabled from factory.
This VIN-specific activation is performed using RetroLab Pro and follows a guided activation workflow — no manual coding, scripts, or remote desktop session required.
After purchase, the activation is assigned to your vehicle’s VIN. Using a Windows PC and an ENet cable, you connect to the vehicle and perform the activation directly in RetroLab Pro. Only functions approved for your specific vehicle configuration are shown in the application.
This taillight animation activation is also available for other Audi models equipped with compatible LED taillights.
Below are some common questions about activating dynamic blinkers and taillight animations on Audi Q5 models.
Do I need new taillights?
No. Your vehicle must already be equipped with factory LED taillights with PR codes 8VG or 8VM.
Will this activate dynamic turn signals?
Yes. Supported vehicles will receive dynamic rear turn signals along with taillight animation.
Is remote coding required?
No. The activation is performed using the RetroLab Pro application with a guided VIN-specific process.

Starting from model year 2024, most Audi vehicles are equipped with SFD2 (Schutz der Fahrzeugdiagnose 2) security protection. This system prevents remote coding, dataset uploads and activations outside of authorized workshop environments.
If your vehicle has one of the following PR codes, it is protected by SFD2:
Vehicles with SFD2 cannot be activated remotely.
For these vehicles, we only offer installation and activation at our workshop in Vellinge, Sweden. If you are unsure whether your vehicle has SFD2, please contact us before ordering.
All coding, adaptations and feature activations are performed using RetroLab Pro. No third-party tools, scripts or manual coding are required.
Hardware installation must be carried out according to Audi factory repair manuals and wiring diagrams. We do not provide trim removal or mechanical disassembly guides.
You must be comfortable working on your vehicle or have a professional workshop perform the installation. Remote activation support is available if required (additional cost may apply).
