Hi could you please take the long coding from your european 2014 q5 for 09 central el. I have here in usa q5 2011 did the swap (tail europe version from 2013) but dont like the how it works. Tail light when they are on have less visibility than with brake on... They works together and Im not sure if its right. Thanks for any input
Just one more thing I am moving to europe so try to prepare it for europe
hey man I recently bought oem 2012 q5 tail lights to because I crushed my and they came with out the us 8 connector. I tried to return the pair but no luck. can you provide me with info on how or where to get the us 8 connector that comes with the tail light itself? I went the audi dealer and they order the wrong ****. I am hopeless at this point.
The taillight will work with the adapter harness without any VAG coding. I have a 2010 model and the main difference on how the taillights work between pre and post facelift for U.S. model is how the turn signal and brake light work.
Pre-facelift:
Turn and brake work independent of each other
Post-Facelift
Turn and brake work in conjunction.
With a pre-face lift model, you will only need to code if you want the turn and stop light to work in conjunction like post-facelift models.
The part numbers 8R0945094C 8R0945093C you listed appear to be for EU spec taillights. Which have a yellow turn signal as opposed to US spec which are red turn signals. Since Pre-facelift coding is set to work indepedent you will be fine without any VAG coding. Only Post-facelift wanting to use EU spec taillight will have to chagne their coding from in conjunction to independent.
As for the adapter, Kufatec's adapter will not work with US spec vehicles. I had a member from another forum contact me to build him the correct adapter harness after he ordered the one from Kufatec did not work. If you notice on the photo of the adapter. The old connector is a 4 connector housing as opposed to the US spec 8 connector housing. If interested in a set of harnesses please PM me and I can give you further details. This is what the harnesses I make look like.
do you still make harness adapter
for the facelift rear taillights? I need some done.
