How to Retrofit a Manual Air Conditioning System to Automatic on an Audi Q2

Model: Audi Q2 MK 1 - Years 2016-2024
Part: Air conditioner

This video shows a retrofit to replace a manual air conditioning system with an automatic one on an Audi Q2, improving aesthetics and functionality. Replace the manual climate panel by installing a new 3-zone module, which can also be found used at a good price; as these are used parts, no purchasing advice can be given. You can add various sensors if desired, such as a solar irradiation sensor for temperature regulation or a humidity sensor to prevent fogging. However, there are limitations, as the compressor does not support two separate air flows: the temperature must be regulated uniformly throughout the cabin. Coding with the VDCS is necessary for proper operation. There are many advantages: improved aesthetics and enhanced comfort due to the automatic system adjusting to the external temperature. Installation requires electronic skills, so it is not for everyone.
