So I imported my A7 from USA with minor front end damage ( front bumper just cracked ) I live in Lithuania so car is with me. Now I’m on the holidays for week so i cannot take photo of my dash... But just imagine standart A7 dash but without spoiler button
That you have imported the car from the USA suggests but doesn't guarantee that it is a US model. I wonder if A7s were made for some other market without a movable spoiler mechanism, having only a fixed plate instead and you have one of those.
This is totally weird. Unlike TT, even RS7 would have the spoiler button I believe.
Have you actually tried to click onto the supposed-spot to check if it has a button there?
Now that I re-read your previous message and mentioned minor front end damage, I could only think of one scenario that maybe that "minor" damage has caused the need to change the dash/button?
If the auto activate/retract still works, I'll be scratching my head not understanding why the button is missing.
I did a bit of research. As far as I can tell, all A7 models had a spoiler activator button in the switch assembly. However, the A6 models use the same physical size switch assembly modules and they do not have a spoiler activation button.
It appears that the original switch module has been replaced in your car with an A6 module. Installing the correct switch module will most likely solve your issue. Just make sure you order the correct module based on your VIN number, as they had a few different versions of the module (with different part numbers).
I had same thought that my module may be change to audi a6 but it doesn’t make any sense, because I saw how my Audi looked when I imported it, just hood was bended pasenger headlight cracked and grill broken, Some kind of pickup truck backed in my Audi A7. Thank you all for the help, I will order new model and inform you how it ends!

Replacement of that module may have been done at a different time, independent of the front end repair. If the original module failed, someone may have replaced it with the A6 module that they got from a wrecker.
Hi! So I’m 18 years old and I bought my first car 2012 Audi A7 ( with my parents help ) and it is first Audi in our family garage between few Porches. I really enjoy A7 more than I have imagined but I have silly question in my car dash there’s no rear spoiler retract button... Was a spoiler retract button an option which you had to pay? Thank you!
Hey dude, I just got a 2016 A7 c7.5 in NY. Same issue here. Car also had front end collision once. I know a guy who said he would program and install it if I found out if it is possible and I bought the button.
