Audi Pre Sense Front/Rear/City

Available

Calibration required after windshield replacement, camera/radar service, or structural repair affecting sensor alignment.

Immobilizer: Audi KESSY PEPS

Standard

Key programming requires manufacturer-level tool access. Add key supported. All keys lost (AKL) supported.

Platform: VW Group MLB Evo (A5 B9 platform)

Confirmed

Verify platform code matches when cross-referencing part numbers across model years.

TOOL ACCESS MATRIX

Tool access for this exact year

Representative tool access paths for this exact model year, gated by the vehicle data and source packet we currently trust.

Factory scan, coding, and calibration access

VW ODIS-S / ODIS-E / Audi VAS 6154

Factory routines and secure server authorization control this path when aftermarket coverage is not enough for the VIN.

OEM subscription required

Make-level OEM tool map plus exact-year gateway and ADAS fields.

ADAS scan, setup, and verification

Autel, Launch Tech, Topdon

Used where aftermarket coverage supports the procedure; OEM software remains required for locked factory routines.

Tool subscription required

Service-level scanner-vendor source packet plus exact-year ADAS records.

Bench cloning and chip-level recovery

Alientech / Autotuner / Orange5 / Scanmatik / Flex / VVDI2 / PCMFlash / CGDI / X-Prog

Used only when the module, donor data, EEPROM, MCU, or crash-data workflow requires bench or chip-level handling.

Bench/chip-level only

Bench programmer source packet plus exact-year module/security records.

WHAT WE RESOLVE

3rd Gen B9 (2018-2026) common module and ADAS issues

  • ADAS calibration drift Watch for calibration needs after windshield, bumper, suspension, camera, or radar work. Documented systems include Forward Camera (Mobileye EyeQ4) (2018), Forward Radar (Bosch MRR) (2018), Blind Spot Monitor - Left Radar (Continental SRR) (2018), and Blind Spot Monitor - Right Radar (Continental SRR) (2018). Year-marked systems apply only to the shown range.
  • SRS crash-data and warning light SRS service can involve Airbag Control Unit (ACU). Part numbers and crash-data workflow are confirmed for the exact year/VIN.
  • Replacement module setup ECU/PCM replacement programming, BCM configuration, TCU/TCM cloning, ABS/EBCM setup are represented in the merged generation data. Rows with year ranges do not apply to every model year; verify by VIN.
  • Gateway, key, and immobilizer access Gateway, key, and immobilizer procedures are represented by 6 merged security records. Access and all-keys-lost support varies by year - verify by VIN.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQ

Can you program Audi A5 (2018-2026) modules?

Yes. Core Auto Logic supports generation-scoped module programming for the Audi A5 (2018-2026). The merged generation data includes ECU/PCM, BCM, TCU/TCM, ABS/EBCM, and SRS coverage. Rows marked with a year range apply only to that part of the span; unmarked rows are present across the merged generation data.

Which modules are documented for Audi A5 (2018-2026)?

The Audi A5 (2018-2026) generation currently shows 21 core module records across ECU/PCM, BCM, TCU/TCM, ABS/EBCM, and SRS groups. SRS examples include Airbag Control Unit (ACU). Part numbers and module variants must be confirmed for your exact year/VIN. Reference part number: 8F0959655 - confirm for your exact year/VIN.

Does Audi A5 (2018-2026) need ADAS calibration after glass or collision work?

The merged generation data documents 54 ADAS systems, including Forward Camera (Mobileye EyeQ4) (2018), Forward Radar (Bosch MRR) (2018), Blind Spot Monitor - Left Radar (Continental SRR) (2018), Blind Spot Monitor - Right Radar (Continental SRR) (2018), and Rear View Camera (2018). Calibration triggers include Windshield Replacement, Front Bumper Repair or Replacement, Any Collision, and Any Module Replacement. Procedure type is VIN-specific scan-tool procedure; verify exact requirements by VIN before setup.

Can you reset the airbag module on Audi A5 (2018-2026)?

Yes. The generation data includes 2 SRS records, including Airbag Control Unit (ACU). Bench reset, cloning, and replacement setup are handled after part-number review. Any SRS part number shown for this generation is planning data only - confirm for your exact year/VIN. Reference part number: 8F0959655 - confirm for your exact year/VIN.

Do all Audi A5 (2018-2026) years use the same parts?

No assumption should be made across the full span. The generation page merges rows across 2018-2026; any row that does not span all data-bearing years is printed with its year range or treated as varies by year - verify by VIN. Part numbers always require exact year/VIN confirmation before ordering, cloning, or programming.

Can you program keys or immobilizer systems for Audi A5 (2018-2026)?

Yes, where the VIN and security workflow support it. The generation data includes 6 gateway, immobilizer, or key-security records. Gateway examples include Central Gateway Module. Key records are present in the merged generation data. Security access, all-keys-lost eligibility, and add-key workflows vary by year - verify by VIN.

How long does service take for Audi A5 (2018-2026)?

Most programming, cloning, SRS, and calibration jobs are quoted after VIN, DTC, part number, and repair-scope review. Labor time varies by year - verify by VIN before scheduling. Mail-in module work typically depends on module condition, donor data, and shipping window.

Is Audi A5 (2018-2026) service mobile or mail-in?

Both paths are available depending on the job. Mobile service covers DFW on-vehicle diagnostics, ADAS setup, key programming, and post-repair coding. Mail-in service covers ECU, BCM, SRS, TCU, ABS, and other bench module work nationwide. We confirm the correct path for your exact year/VIN before scheduling.
