FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQ

How much does ADAS calibration cost for a 2018 Audi A5?

ADAS calibration pricing for a 2018 Audi A5 depends on which of its 6 documented systems need work after a repair. This vehicle is documented with Forward Camera (Mobileye EyeQ4), Forward Radar (Bosch MRR), Blind Spot Monitor - Left Radar (Continental SRR), Blind Spot Monitor - Right Radar (Continental SRR), and Rear View Camera. We provide a fixed quote after confirming the operations performed - send the VIN, the repair scope (windshield R&R, bumper work, alignment, collision), and any DTCs and we return a number within 4 hours.

Can you reset the airbag light on a 2018 Audi A5?

Yes. The 2018 Audi A5 uses a factory SRS control module that we support. We read and clear stored crash data, then restore the module to factory status so the airbag warning light goes out and the system returns to full operation. Reference part number on this vehicle: 8F0959655. Bench-only or in-vehicle - both paths are supported. Send the part number and a description of what triggered the light, and we will provide a quote and ETA.

What is needed after replacing the windshield on a 2018 Audi A5?

After windshield replacement on a 2018 Audi A5, Forward Camera (Mobileye EyeQ4), Forward Radar (Bosch MRR), and Rear View Camera rely on the forward-facing camera and require recalibration before the systems return to operation. We perform the calibration on-site (DFW Metroplex) with OE target fixtures or via mail-in for the front camera/radar module.

How long does a 2018 Audi A5 module service take?

Most 2018 Audi A5 jobs complete same-day once the vehicle or module arrives. This vehicle has roughly 15 programmable modules documented in our database (1 ECU, 2 BCM, 3 TCU, 1 ABS, plus IPC/SAS/gateway/accessory). Module-bench work (ECU clones, BCM reprograms, SRS resets) ships back inside 1-3 business days including return shipping. ADAS calibration is on-site for DFW or mail-in for the front module.

Do you cover the 2018 Audi A5 on-site, or is this mail-in only?

Both. We run a mobile unit across the DFW Metroplex for on-vehicle work (ADAS calibration, key programming, IMMO pairing, post-repair recoding) and a mail-in bench for module-only jobs (ECU cloning, BCM repair, SRS reset, TCU clone). Quote the work and we will tell you which path is right for the 2018 Audi A5.

What kind of warranty do you offer on 2018 Audi A5 programming?

Every programming, cloning, and calibration job on the 2018 Audi A5 is backed by a workmanship warranty covering the scope of work we performed: 1-year unlimited on all flashes, clones, and ADAS calibrations. If a module we programmed or a calibration we performed fails to function as expected, return it and we restore it at no charge. The warranty covers our work; it does not cover unrelated mechanical or electrical failure of the module itself.

Can you program a 2018 Audi A5 with no working keys (all-keys-lost)?

Yes, our key programming specialists handle all-keys-lost scenarios on the 2018 Audi A5. Immobilizer generation on this platform: Audi KESSY PEPS; VW Group MLB Evo security gateway; rolling code AES-128. Submit the VIN and we will confirm the procedure and quote before scheduling.

Which modules on a 2018 Audi A5 can you actually service?

We program, clone, repair, or replace the full programmable-module stack on a 2018 Audi A5. For this vehicle our database documents:

  • 1 engine control (ECU/PCM)
  • 3 transmission control (TCU/TCM)
  • 2 body control (BCM and related)
