3.3. Procedura di installazione
Installation of the adapter kit is designed to be straightforward due to its custom-fit nature. However, professional installation is recommended to ensure correct wiring and vehicle coding.
- Ensure the vehicle's electrical system is powered off before beginning installation.
- Locate the existing taillight wiring harnesses on your Audi A5 / S5 8T.
- Connect the Kufatec adapter harnesses between the vehicle's existing wiring and the new EU Facelift LED taillights. The connectors are designed to fit specific ports.
- Secure all connections to prevent loosening due to vehicle vibrations.
- Once the physical installation is complete, the vehicle must be coded to recognize and properly operate the new EU Facelift LED taillights.
Important Coding Note:
After installing the adapter and the new LED Facelift taillights, the vehicle's control unit requires specific coding. This coding process is crucial for the taillights to function correctly (e.g., turn signals, brake lights, running lights). If you are unfamiliar with vehicle coding procedures or do not have the necessary diagnostic tools, it is strongly advised to seek assistance from a qualified automotive technician or an Audi specialist.
For users who do not have the coding values or prefer a complete solution, Kufatec offers a full kit (item number 38860-3) which may include coding dongles or pre-programmed modules. Please refer to Kufatec's official website or your dealer for more information on this complete kit.
4. Funzionamento
The Kufatec adapter is a passive component that facilitates the electrical communication between your Audi A5 / S5 8T (USA specification) and the EU Facelift LED taillights. Once correctly installed and the vehicle has been properly coded, the taillights will operate as intended for the EU specification.
There are no user-operable controls on the adapter itself. Its function is to ensure compatibility and correct signaling for the new taillight units.
5. Manutenzione e cura
The Kufatec LED USA to LED EU Facelift Adapter is designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation once installed correctly. It contains no user-serviceable parts.
- Pulizia: If the adapter or its connectors become dirty during installation, gently wipe them with a clean, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Ispezione: Periodically, during other vehicle maintenance, you may visually inspect the adapter connections to ensure they remain secure and free from corrosion or damage.
- Magazzinaggio: If the adapter is not immediately installed, store it in its original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
