I am interested in importing a Q5 as well and am wondering if you completed the process and how it all went with importing, dealer interactions, warranty,etc.. Any info you can provide would be appreciated. Cheers!

Hi,

I am going to import 2012 Q5 from US and came across following requirement from RIV web site. Us dealer is willing to help with reprogram but they do not seem to know how to do it. Anyone imported audi Q5 lately and how did you deal with the DRL that can be turn off through MMI? Does inspection center really go into the MMi interface and test disabling it?

Or is there an instruction of what to? I can send it to US dealer.

Thanks.

Some U.S. Audi vehicles may be equipped with a Multi Media Interface (MMI) system which can turn off the Daytime Running Lamps (DRLs) while vehicle is in motion. In Canada, DRLs must be permanently on once a vehicle is in motion. The DRL control system of such vehicles may need to be re-programmed to disable the feature that permits turning off DRLs. Contact an authorized Audi dealer for more information.

Can you actually import a new Q? (Or is it a demo or used unit?)

This is a 2 minute change you can do via vag com. I've done it for my car (in reverse).
