A3 Module Programming & Calibration
The Audi A3 on the MQB Evo platform features the Audi Pre Sense ADAS suite with integrated front camera and radar requiring ODIS-S authorization for any recalibration or module replacement. The VW Group security gateway is active on all MQB Evo variants, meaning aftermarket scan tools cannot perform programming without dealer SGW bypass credentials. Side Assist blind spot sensors integrated into the rear bumper add a second calibration requirement following rear collision events on equipped trims.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FAQ
Which ADAS systems does the Audi A3 have, and which require calibration after collision repair?
Audi A3 includes Audi Pre Sense City/Front/Rear, Adaptive Cruise Assist (2022+), Side Assist, Lane Assist and Park Assist. Mobileye EyeQ4 camera, front/rear radars and SRR blind‑spot sensors need recalibration.
Can you reset the airbag/SRS light on a Audi A3?
Yes. We perform SRS resets and crash data clearing on MQB Evo A3s using OE‑grade tools. Faults and damaged components must be repaired; airbag module programming may require dealer gateway access.
What's involved in programming a replacement ECU/PCM for the Audi A3?
MQB Evo A3 PCM programming requires OE‑grade diagnostics and dealer‑level SGW authorization via ODIS‑S. Network uses HS‑CAN and CAN‑FD 500kbps; immobilizer alignment and VIN coding are performed.
Do you support all-keys-lost (AKL) on the Audi A3?
Yes. AKL uses authorized locksmith workflow with proof of ownership, immobilizer/key programming and SGW authorization on MQB Evo platform. We use OE‑grade equipment for key commissioning.
What's needed after windshield replacement on a Audi A3?
Windshield replacement requires static recalibration of the Mobileye EyeQ forward camera for Audi Pre Sense and Adaptive Cruise Assist (2022+). We perform static camera calibration with OE procedures.
Can you service a Audi A3 on-site, mail-in, or both?
Both. We offer mobile ADAS calibrations on‑site or at our shop for Audi Pre Sense systems; module programming, bench coding and SGW tasks are usually done in‑shop with secure network access.
