If you have a U.S. spec D4, then the car does not actually have the Matrix headlamps—-only the non-Matrix LEDs—and there is nothing to recode. Audi has not gotten the Matrix headlamps approved here in the U.S. You would have to remove the original LED headlights and purchase and retrofit the Matrix units and whatever other components that would be required to accomplish this. It’s not a small, nor inexpensive, project.

As for the rear lights on the D4, they are the only LED units that are available. There are no rear Matrix lights. The new generation D5 A8 has an OLED rear light option, but nothing additionally available for the D4.

You should re-post this in the D4 forum for further input.
