Our guidelines must be complied with when technical
modifications are made.
Always consu lt an authorized Audi dealer before starting work on any
mod ificat ions.
Th is w ill help ensure that veh icle function, performance and safety
are not impai red=> &.
Attempting to work on electron ic components and the software used
with them can cause malfunctions. Because of the way electronic
components are interconnected w ith each other, such malfunct ions
can also have an adverse affect on other systems that are not directly
involved . This means that you r isk both a substantia l reduct io n in the
operationa l safety of your vehicle and an increased wear of vehicle
parts=> &.
Author ized Audi dealers will perform th is work in a professional and
competent manner or, in specia l cases, refer you to a p rofessional
company that specializes in such mod ifications.
