It will be possible to change the language of the onboard computer of the Audi A3 by turning on the instrument cluster and inserting the ignition key into the corresponding slot. Once the instrument cluster is turned on, you can connect a diagnostic tool to the OBD port of the vehicle located under the steering column.

At this point, you will be able to select the model of the car in question and its corresponding version: then you should follow the instructions on the screen to change the language, and finally, you will need to disconnect the scanner from the socket.
