What Is the Audi Distronic Module?

The Distronic module is an important component of the Audi adaptive cruise control system. Depending on the vehicle configuration, the module works together with other vehicle systems to detect traffic ahead and support automatic adjustment of vehicle speed and following distance.

Because the ACC system communicates with multiple electronic control units, simply installing a replacement module may not be enough to restore operation. Coding, parameterization, adaptation, and radar calibration may be required depending on the replacement module and vehicle.

Audi A4/A5 B8.5 Compatibility

Potential applications include compatible:

• Audi A4 B8.5
• Audi A5 B8.5
• Vehicles equipped with or being retrofitted with Adaptive Cruise Control

The B8.5 facelift generation generally covers approximately 2012–2016, although exact application varies by market, production date, body style, and equipment.

Important Fitment Information

Please verify:

• Original Distronic/ACC module part number
• Vehicle VIN
• Model year
• A4 or A5 body style
• Adaptive Cruise Control equipment
• Electrical connector
• Radar sensor/module configuration
• Mounting location and bracket
• Existing driver-assistance control units
• Software/hardware version

Do not purchase based solely on the Audi A4/A5 B8.5 model designation. Different driver-assistance configurations can use different modules.

Coding & Calibration

After installation, the module may require:

• Diagnostic coding
• Control-unit adaptation
• Parameterization
• Software configuration
• Vehicle configuration changes
• Radar alignment/calibration
• Fault-code clearing

The exact procedure depends on the vehicle and module version.

Professional installation and calibration are strongly recommended. An improperly installed or incorrectly calibrated ACC/radar system may not operate correctly.

Condition

Condition: Verify listing condition.

If this is a used module, it may show normal signs of previous use such as light scratches, marks, dust, or surface wear.

Please inspect the photographs and compare the physical module, connectors, labels, and part number with your original unit before ordering.

Installation & Safety

Because this module is part of a driver-assistance system, installation should be performed by a qualified Audi/VAG technician.

After installation, the vehicle should be scanned using suitable diagnostic equipment and the ACC/radar system should be tested and calibrated according to the vehicle manufacturer’s procedures.

Do not rely on the adaptive cruise control system until the replacement module has been correctly configured and calibrated.
