The Audi A5 F5 Sportback, Coupé and Cabriolet — including S5 and RS5 — shipped with the front camera and cluster hardware for Traffic Sign Recognition but left the feature dormant. This guide covers TSR activation for UK and European A5, S5 and RS5 owners.
Traffic Sign Recognition activation works on all Audi A5 F5 model years from 2017 through 2023 — covering Sportback, Coupé and Cabriolet body styles, as well as S5 and RS5 variants.
The activation is identical across A5, S5 and RS5 and works on every European market variant. EU-spec F5 vehicles sometimes leave the factory with TSR dormant — the hardware (PR-QK1 front camera) is installed but the display side of the feature is left inactive in the coding.
The activation runs through the RetroLab Pro app on your iPhone or Windows PC with an ENet cable — no dealer visit, no coding scripts.
Price: €75, one-time, VIN-verified.
Requirements: front camera (PR-QK1) + factory navigation + instrument cluster PR-9S7, PR-9S8 or PR-9S9 (not PR-9S5 base cluster).

VIN check is free before any payment.
Yes. Traffic Sign Recognition reads local road signs wherever you drive — UK, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch and other European sign formats are fully supported.
Speed limits, no-overtaking signs, end-of-restriction signs and warning signs appear live in the Virtual Cockpit (and head-up display when fitted). The licence is permanent and VIN-locked — if a dealer update ever resets it, just rerun the app at no extra charge.
