Choose your Audi's year, model and headlight type and this page shows every feature we can activate on it, with prices, then books your remote session. Audi disables many European (ECE) lighting and driver-assistance features on North American cars even though the hardware is fitted. We enable them remotely with genuine Audi software – about 30 minutes per session, no parts, no dealer visit, reversible on request. Over 100 five-star reviews from Audi owners across the US and Canada.

Supported vehicles

US and Canadian 2019–2026 Audi A3, S3, RS 3, A4, S4, Allroad, A5, S5, RS 5, A6, S6, A6 Allroad, A7, S7, RS 6 Avant, RS 7, A8, S8, Q3, Q4 e-tron, Q5, SQ5, Q7, SQ7, Q8, SQ8, RS Q8, e-tron, Q8 e-tron, SQ8 e-tron, e-tron GT, S e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT. Which features apply depends on the exact year, model and headlight type – Matrix activation needs Matrix, HD Matrix, Laser or Digital Matrix headlights. The page includes a headlight type lookup, or send us your VIN and we will confirm.

How the remote session works

  1. Order the activation and, if you don't already have one, the DoIP cable and USB-Ethernet adapter ($39.95, yours to keep).
  2. Book a session time. You receive a confirmation email with the preparation steps.
  3. At the session, plug the cable into the car's OBD port and your laptop, and run FlexiHub so our technician can connect.
  4. We do the programming remotely – usually about 30 minutes; a slow internet connection can make it longer. Add several features to one session and pay the cable and any surcharge only once.

What you need

  • A laptop next to the car: Windows 7/8/10/11, or a 2019+ MacBook on macOS 10.15+ (Linux also works).
  • A stable internet connection and the free FlexiHub app.
  • An ENET DoIP cable with USB-Ethernet adapter. Ross-Tech/VAGCOM, OBDeleven, Tactrix, J2534, Unitronic, APR, 034Motorsport, COBB and VAS/VNCI 6154 cables do not work for Audi activations.

How to order

Select your year, model and headlight type above. The compatible features appear with prices; tick the ones you want, add the DoIP cable if you don't have one, and check out. You'll then receive a booking link for your session.

Description

Audi Feature Activation

Unlock the full potential of your vehicle’s factory-installed lighting hardware. For many regions (including the US), Audi’s most advanced lighting capabilities are deactivated at the factory. This software activation safely releases those restrictions, bringing European-spec (ECE) intelligence, safety, and style to your drive.

 

Key Benefits & Product Features

  • Anti-Glare Adaptive High Beams: Drive with your high beams permanently on without blinding others. The system uses your vehicle's front camera to spot oncoming traffic or vehicles ahead, instantly dimming or "masking" individual LED segments to create a precise shadow around other cars while keeping the rest of the road fully illuminated.
  • Predictive Dynamic Cornering: Your headlights think ahead. By utilizing your Audi's navigation and steering data, the light beams automatically pivot into a bend before you even turn the steering wheel, drastically increasing visibility around dark curves.
  • Highway & Intersection Mode: At higher speeds, the beam pattern automatically extends further down the road for enhanced reaction times. At intersections, the beam widens horizontally to give you a clearer view of pedestrians and cross-traffic.
  • Clean "Euro-Spec" Aesthetics: Deactivates the federally mandated, always-on orange amber side markers within the headlight assembly, giving your vehicle a sleek, seamless front-end appearance.
  • Light Carpets & Laser (Model Dependent):

    • For Digital Matrix models: Projects a 50-meter "light carpet" onto the highway lane, complete with orientation lines to help you stay perfectly centered.
    • For Laser Light models: Activates the iconic blue ambient accent lighting and ultra-long-range laser high beams.

     

Why You Need It

Standard headlights force you to choose between blinding oncoming traffic or losing long-range visibility. Audi Matrix Activation bridges that gap—giving you up to 600 meters of intelligent, adaptive illumination that maximizes night-driving safety without a single manual adjustment.

ACM Technik with Ryan from NC

I like to thank Ryan from NC. It only took less than 30 mins, if you make sure all your connections are good and plan ahead. Everything was smooth on both ends🫡 Ryan was very professional, he was very knowledgeable and transparent with what to expect during the process. I was able to test it that night and wife approves!!! You will not regret the features and you will get unlock extra bonus(free).

Anthony showed me the active matrix led LIGHT!! (B9.5 RS5 Sportback)

Do not hesitate - this is the best bang for the buck on a game changing feature hidden in our cars, just waiting to be fully activated. Anthony is beyond knowledgeable, super professional and an amazing resource in the VW/Audi world. I was floored by the upgrade to my RS5's lighting during my maiden voyage in NE GA after the upgrade... So much so, that I took the car out an additional 3x tonight just to soak-in the effect! 10/10 for Anthony and ACM!

Matrix Baby

I opted for the 2023 Audi rs3 Matrix package. It is the most amazing technology I ever seen in a car. Watching the lights dance everywhere and being able to have the high beams on at all times is like magic. It makes driving at night easier with high beams on constantly. My only complaint would be you can only use the matrix headlights with Auto mode on. We should be able to use them with high beams on all the time. But it only work on Auto lights.

The best modification yet

I have many modifications done to my car. The most enjoyable feature yet is watching the headlights dance around and black out around other cars. It’s super fun and super cool to watch. Totally worth the money.. very disappointed that this feature is deactivated when the car comes to America.

I really didn’t know what to expect but WOW! Your passengers will be thrilled to watch the brilliance of the system. Be careful and keep your attention on the action in front of your car. It’s like reading glasses for night driving. Impressive.

Ryan was great

Ryan was great. The connection on my side was slow so we just chatted while the process was happening. The end result is interesting and very useful on dark rural roads.

Fantastic

Fantastic, from start to finish! Very fast shipping (for the cable) and the scheduling process was super-easy. The remote agent called me at the exact time of my appointment and the whole process was well communicated and went flawlessly. It took 14 minutes start to finish to activate my matrix headlights...and, the price was almost half that of other providers.
This was the best mod I could have done. The active matrix headlights are awesome! If you're thinking about doing this - what are you waiting for?

Very happy with the process

Very happy with the process. Tech that completed answered all my questions and then some.

I tested shortly after using. You can see the curtains where the light is being turned off. I live in a congested area so was a little tough to find long dark road with no traffic.

Really awesome experience

I just got done with the matrix activation for my 2019 Audi E-Tron with Anthony over the phone and everything went great! Super smooth operation that took no time at all and at a great price too. Anthony was also super cool to work with and talk to as well! I want to say thank you again and I highly recommend this business for any coding/tweaks for your Audi/VW!
