Customer concern or upgrade request
The original radio module failed and required replacement.
Inspection and diagnosis
The replacement unit required online coding, antitheft unlock and component protection release to integrate with the vehicle network.
Repair and upgrade work
The vehicle required a radio module replacement after the original unit failed. Simply fitting a replacement module is not enough on modern Audi platforms — antitheft lock and component protection must be cleared through coding. We replaced the radio module, performed online coding, unlocked antitheft, and released component protection so the unit integrated fully with the vehicle network.
