Hi all I have a Audi a5 3.0tdi 2015

I’m trying to code my drl to turn on when I unlock the car I was told they run of light sensor in the windscreen im wanting them to come on no matter time of day I’m using obd11 to try this but isn’t seem to be getting anywhere I’ve tried all sorts of stuff I keep getting function unavailable does this need to go to a coder

Thanks in advance

Thought you might need VCDS to get into the system settings. I had a B8 Allroad and it had DRL fronts that were on all the time, but I wanted the LED rears on too from the start. You can also do things like rev counter needle sweep on start up, passenger mirror dip on reverse, etc.

Quick Google search suggests otherwise. To enable or turn on your Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) on a 2015 Audi A5, you can toggle them on using MMI infotainment.

• Step 1: Turn on the ignition or start your engine.

• Step 2: Press the CAR button on your MMI control console.

• Step 3: Select Car systems (if applicable) and navigate to Exterior Lighting or Headlights.

• Step 4: Look for the Daytime Running Lights option and toggle it ON.

Once this is enabled, your DRLs will automatically switch on whenever the engine is running and the main headlight switch is in the Auto or 0 position.

Hope that works.

Hi Spartacus 68

thank you for your reply much appreciated

What I’m wanting is when unlocking the car I want the lights to come on all the time it only does it when it’s pitch black is there away to bypass this and they come in anytime of day no matter what I’m using obd 11 with pro subscription is this something this can be done or will I need a coder with access to vcds software

Thanks Josh
