Which Q7 Model Years Are Supported in Canada?

Matrix headlight activation is available on 2020 through 2026 Canadian-spec Audi Q7 and SQ7 4M Facelift vehicles.

Canadian and US Q7 vehicles are the same NAR build. 2020–2023 models activate via the RetroLab Pro app; 2024–2026 models require a guided remote session due to SFD2 security.

Note: Q7 4M pre-facelift (before 2020) uses a different headlight controller and is not supported.

2020–2023 models: activate via the RetroLab Pro app on Windows PC or iPhone with ENet cable. Price: €200 / ~$240 USD.

2024–2026 models: require a guided remote session on a Windows PC + ENet cable. Price: €300 / ~$360 USD.
