How To: Open/Close 18' Audi A5 Cab roof with Key Fob! (Secret OEM Feature)

Audi has built in a secret way to open and close the roof of the 2018 and newer A5 Cabriolets!! Watch here to find out how!!

[@michik8421]

it worked with US 2018! I was wondering AUDI should have this function (2009 BMW 3 had it) and could not find on manual. Glad to find this video!

[@botch3936]

Thank you! It just didn't make sense to me that I could open the windows from outside the car, but not the roof.

[@AndresMustin]

You forgot to mention that this is only for models with keyless entry option

[@jenniferbornstein9688]

So. Grateful, thanks!!

[@russelldontgetit5665]

Wow thank you. I could never figure out why I could not close my roof from the key fob.

Thanks

Nice vid!

[@Laoban1]

Thank you! Does it work for MY2022 convertible?

[@trupthims624]

thank you

AMAZING 💥💕

[@debbieh9009]

I have a 2014 Audi A5. Will this work on mine or is there a way to activate it so it will?

[@user-di4ui4dw6o]

Programmed mine to do this on my 2014 a5

[@mandeepghuman1]

Hi Gary - just got a 2014 A5 myself. Can you share how you programmed yours to open with the remote?

[@debbieh9009]

I wish this would work for my 2014 A5! Bummer! Does anyone know how or if it can be done on the A5 Premium Plus?? I do not have the Long Press to Open Windows option and not sure how to get that option.

[@kingbov6250]

i have the new (2021) A5 cab s line and i just can't seem to get this to work. Anyone any ideas?

[@wahbyquattroRS]

Nice❤️👍🏻😍👌🏻❤️

[@aweshgupta6424]

Can a adult man can seat at the back seat while front seat are full. Is it comfortable while the roof is on?.

[@CarTechConnect]

Depends on how tall the front occupants / rear occupants are. It's possible but not ideal. If you are planning on having 4 adults often a convertible might not be the bet choice. The only one I can think of is the S Class Cab that offers decent room in the back.

[@GTSCoupe]

No

[@eskimo2k]

That's disabled on US cars and won't even show up in the menu unless it's been enabled with VCDS or Carista. If yours did it stock and it's a US spec someone at the dealership must have enabled it, or if it's used the prior owner did. It was the first thing I changed on my S5.

[@diamondbanks4931]

how did you do it?

[@eskimo2k]

@@diamondbanks4931 Bought a vagcom cable and enabled it in VCDS

[@brandonneiltaylor]

That must be a second hand Audi - or someone had some fun with VagCom before delivery haha

[@selinaisis6268]

Does this work on the 2019 US model??

[@CarTechConnect]

It totally should but I will have to play with one in person to confirm!

[@selinaisis6268]

I just tried it... then remembered I was not supposed to roll the window down for 3 days, as they were rolling down🤦🏾‍♀️

[@CarTechConnect]

Selina Isis lol! I’m sure it’s fine! I won’t be back to the dealership until next week but I will check then! But I’m sure you can check once your tint is good to go lol.

[@antonmarkov1635]

That’s very cool but it must be a drain on the battery

[@24Sevenpimp]

Doesn't work on my '18 A5 cab uk model

[@CarTechConnect]

Might just be a USA feature !

[@clwhits]

Same here. 😡

[@snakepond]

Thanks for the video. It works on my 2014, didn’t know it had this feature.

[@waynetremblay823]

Just what I wanted to hear. Off I go to try it. Well, maybe I'll wait until morning @@snakepond

[@snakepond]

I don’t need to hold the button, as shown, to complete the action. As soon as the action starts, I let go of the button and it completes the action by itself. This is for opening and closing the roof.
