Taillight Hack?
Have anyone figure out if it's possible to get the rear turn signal to behave like the europe version, just is just a moving line without the lower part lighting up?

Unfortunately the North American taillight has combined functions internally. Audi does this on several models and the turn and brake are combined. When the turn signal is activated then the dynamic signal is activated for the sweeping turn. So essentially no matter if you step on the brake or activate the turn the turn LED and brake LED will always come on, however when the turn is activated then the dynamic signal is used to cause the sweeping. So this means sadly that the turn and brake LED cannot be uncoupled on North American taillights.
The only way to have a discrete sweeping turn signal is with Rest of World (European) taillights, wiring and to use VCP (Vag Can Pro) to set the Rest of World (ECE) parameters. There are kits available here with all the needed parts and you can order VCP at a discounted price as well:
A5, S5, RS5 B9 Lighting
These kits for the A5, S5 models are for North American cars and also includes the European switch to add the rear fog light function which was omitted from our models as well.
If you or anyone else has questions don't hesitate to let me know via PM or email: contact@europrice.us

Cool - the $1,728.00 all-inclusive price isn't bad either for that sweeping amber turn signal.
