Ah makes sense thanks for the clarification, having had Matrix for the first time in a vehicle (my S4 2020 black edition didn’t have it) I’m more than happy with it clever piece of kit.

My previous ‘21 Q7 50TDi had the matrix and indeed it does a great job of lighting up the road.
The light animation does look cool though, shame it’s not available on the Black edition.

That’s odd, I had the SQ8 before, not a Vorsprung, and it did it.

On the SQ7 the HD matrix only comes in the Vorsprung spec, the SQ8 might have headlight animation as standard on all trim levels or as an option.🤔

Awesome !! I’ve literally had it a week so no pics but will send some shortly, one thing I can’t seem to do is the little light illumination on unlocking/locking the car is this a hidden feature??? Or vorsprung only?? 

Sadly it’s only on the Vorsprung with the laser headlight. 😞

I have a Q7 Black Ed on order due for delivery next month, vehicle was built end of January I believe so I have no idea which lights it will turn up with. I have emailed the supplying dealer but no response as of yet.

I agree having halogen indicators etc is poor, coming from a Touareg Black edition that has full LED matrix lights I will be dissapointed if the Q7 turns up with the basic spec temporary headlamp unit.

The LED matrix are back on the configurator from the end of 2022, there’s 3 2023 MY Q7 on autotrader that have the correct headlights. I also have a Q7 on order with a Sept ETA and I’m confident it’ll come with Matrix LED.

You know what’s most frustrating. I rang audi uk and they putting them back on this year. Think I’m gonna trade mine in. There’s a company called hazzzy dayz who can do it but for around 6k

I’d just trade it in for a new one rather than spending the 6k or whatever the cost to get them fitted.

Not sure if you are on the Q7 Facebook page or not, but Andy from Audi Upgrades might be able to get the Matrix LEDs retrofitted. 

He does all sort of retrofits to Audis to a very high standard.

Couldn’t agree more, mine was at 5.9!

Have you got as far as prices with a dealer? What discount are they offering? 

Yes, got a price of around £13K off on a SQ7 BE C&S from the dealer who I bought the 50TDI off back in Jan 2021. It was at 4.8% back then!

Correct that the Matrix and Laser LED was off the configurator for the best part of last year, It was only back on towards the Christmas and got me thinking again.

If I decided to cave in on the rates and order, will get the dealer to put it in writing Matrix LEDs will be fitted or I’ll just walk away when it arrives.

Not checked with a dealer but I saw that the other day on the configurator. Still no phone box but Matrix back on all and lasers on Vorsprung.

I’m not too fussed about the wireless charging as I use phone cases and never used it on my previous ‘21 Q7 50TDI.

Only thing holding me back from ordering is the absolutely pants finance rates at 10.4% Apr.

I’m on the edge of ordering a SQ7 BE for the past few months, I have just noticed that the Matrix LED are now back on the Audi online configurator. Anyone can confirm wether Audi are starting to putting them back on?
