What You Get

Audi A5 F5 Facelift models (2020–2023) ship with factory LED taillights (PR-8VM) that already contain the S and RS animation routines in the lamp control unit's firmware. Audi leaves these profiles dormant on standard trims, so the rear lamps stay silent at every lock/unlock. This VIN-specific OEM activation switches them on through a guided RetroLab Pro workflow — no manual coding, no scripts, no remote desktop session, no workshop visit.

How It Changes Behavior

From factoryon a stock A5 F5 Facelift, the LED taillights stay completely static when you lock or unlock the car — even on Coupé and Cabriolet, no welcome sweep, no goodbye animation runs.

After activationa model-appropriate S or RS animation sequence plays across both rear lamps on every lock and unlock — same routine and timing Audi runs on factory-coded S5 / RS5 cars.

  • 100% OEM integration — same animation as factory-coded S5 / RS5
  • Plays automatically on lock and unlock
  • Both S and RS animation profiles available
  • Works on Sportback, Coupé and Cabriolet
  • Works on EU, RoW and NAR market vehicles
  • 1-Click activation through the RetroLab Pro app
