That I do not know...I'd look up VAGCOM codes for the A5/S5 and see if it's listed.

How can I look up options on a used S5 using the VIN? Thanks

Are you sure you have the radar sensor in your bumper? Can you post a picture? Not talking about the fog lights. There would be only one radar sensor next to the fog light on the front right (passenger side) of the bumper. That sensor would only be there on a 2013 S5 if it was equipped with the drivers assistance package, which includes ACC (In the US and looks like you are in the US judging from your profile). Given that you have a regular cruise control stalk and you don't see the ACC setting in the Audi Drive Select Individual mode, something isn't adding up. With a functioning radar sensor in the bumper you would have ACC with corresponding stalk and everything.

Proper payment?

In addition, on top of the cruise stalk will have a rocker switch used to set the distance control while ACC is enabled. If yours DOESN'T have this switch, then perhaps the front end was replaced with parts from an ACC vehicle. Also, does the speedometer have red arrows indicating the set points when cruise is enabled?
