Default Active Matrix Laser Pending Approval

In case you want to follow the NHTSA's (USA) review for the Active Matrix functionality on our lights (if so equiped) you can do so at the following link:

https://www.regulations.gov/document...2018-0090-0001

If approved the dealer should be able to flash upgrade our lights to provide the active matrix functionality

When building a Prestige model, the Audi website shows that the following is included:
  • HD Matrix-design LED highlights with dynamic DRLs and animation
Are they claiming to include a feature that hasn’t been approved by th US yet?

Yes. The laser headlights are fully functional. I believe the operate over 30mph by design. However, active matrix functionality is pending US (perhaps Canada also) approval

its not unusual for manufacturers to have features turned off on initial launch as they wait for approval from various government agencies. It’s easier (and cheaper) for them to do that than have different headlight systems for different parts of the world.
