Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Audi OEM activations and feature unlocks

Which Audi models are supported?
RetroLab Pro supports 10 Audi MLBevo models: A4 B9, A5 F5, A6 C8, A7 C8, A8 D5, Q5 FY, Q7 4M, Q8 4M, e-tron GE, and e-tron GT. Select your model above to see the full list of available activations and prices.
How do I know if my Audi has the hardware?
We look up your VIN in Audi's production database before you pay. This confirms the exact hardware fitted — Matrix LED module, camera, PR-codes, model year — so there are no surprises. If your car isn't compatible, we tell you before charging anything.
What do I need to perform an activation?
An ENet OBD cable (approximately $15 on Amazon) and the RetroLab Pro app on Windows or iPhone. The app guides you step-by-step. No laptop coding knowledge required.
Do I need to visit a dealer or workshop?
No. Every activation is done by you, in your own driveway, using the RetroLab Pro app. The app connects to your car over the OBD port and writes the correct OEM coding directly. No technician involvement, no booking required.
How long does an activation take?
The actual coding step takes 2–5 minutes once connected. Allow around 10–15 minutes total for the first time including setup. After that, subsequent activations on the same car take under 5 minutes.
Are the activations permanent?
Yes. The licence is permanent and VIN-locked — one-time payment, no expiry, no subscription. The coding persists through normal ignition cycles and battery replacements. Note: certain dealer software updates (such as an SVM run) or a full module reset can clear it — a routine service visit won't. Since it's a lifetime VIN-based activation, simply rerun the RetroLab Pro app as many times as needed at no extra cost. Remote session reactivations are always free.
