Within 24 hours of purchasing my Q5, I ordered one of these to defeat the stop/start annoyance feature that comes with the vehicle. It's a must-have.
What the video doesn't show is that there are 2 rectangular holes on either side of the control panel that the provided keys just slip into. No hunting or pecking with the release keys - slip the keys into the factory slots until you feel the retaining spring release - once on each side, then pull the control panel out. Release the electrical connector, install the device between the connector plugs you just released and re-install. No keys required to re-install - just push the start/stop in the console followed by the control panel until the springs "re-clip". Dead simple, 5 minutes, even for an absolute amateur.
Very glossy and quality looking.
Only issue I had was the placement of the wiring coming out of the back of the emblem. If you installed it onto the grill, it would pinch the wiring and eventually fail, so I had to take a dog grinder and carbide bit to put a relief in the back of the new emblem so it wouldn't be crushed when installing. This is my first Audi and I wish the emblem would've come with some instructions as it would've made it a little easier for a newbie. Also, the mounting triangle is less than ideal as it could be a lot cleaner mounting system.
Quick shipping, good emblem but tape is so weak and bad bought 2 already and dosent stick on properly
Very nicely made, easy to install. Great value.
