Default Enabling traffic sign recognition

Hey folks,

I have an SQ8 without drivers assistance package. Does that mean i don't get traffic sign recognition? Is there a way to turn it on?

Thanks!

Has anyone actually used this? Is it safe? Easy to get working?

It is safe. Kufatec is a reputable German company specialising in retrofitting of German cars. I used their solutions many times without any problems. There is an instruction on this page which you can download after purchase. Very easy implementation via OBD. Read also customer reviews.

I have a 2020 Q8 that came with traffic sign recognition and it was the first thing I turned OFF.

For the same reason why Kufatec's auto SS disable option for the Q8/A8 doesn't work, eh?

Kufatec doesn't offer disable option for Audi cars MY2019+. As you know perfectly well, so far no one has discovered a way to permanently disable S/S in the latest cars. Kufatec only offers S/S dongle deactivation on older models than MY 2019. I have used these Kufatec dongles in my 2 previous Audi (Q7 MY2016, S5 MY2018) and they worked without problems.
