Just to be aware, the internal bumper mounting brackets are different from the e-tron to normal Q7: maybe the SQ7 is different also?

Side Assist/ RTA are great systems : indispensable.

Yup, brackets are different in respect to

• One bracket part number for S-Line or SQ7 Variants
• and a different bracket part number for SE or E-Tron Variants

Hello, does anyone have a “parts list” or part numbers? Would like to do this retrofit and start grabbing the parts I need. Thanks

After months of planning and parts collecting, I finally visited the great man Andy himself last weekend to do this very retrofit.. man, I was so impressed and jealous with the setup he's got there in his garage, every piece of kit needed to get the job done, both hardware and software, there is even a big TV screen next to the couch to view what he is doing from the workstation like a lot of professional garages!!! ... Andy explained everything he was doing, and was happy to involve me in the process as well because I wanted to learn.. he made sure I was happy with everything down to each wiring before putting things in..

We hit some challenges along the way due to some slightly incorrect parts being bought, totally on me.. but we got there in the end thanks to Andy's patience and knowledge! Lessons learnt, always double check with Andy on the parts before ordering, a tiny difference in parts number (a prefix or postfix) can make all the difference..

Now Side Assist and Exit Warning work perfectly on my Q which was an option I didn't realize the car is lacking until I picked the car up...and it was something I really missed from my previous car. The LEDs in the wind mirror light up when there are cars in the blind spot of the mirrors, and the red LEDs in the doors flash when I try to open a door and someone is coming close to the car on the same side... as the bonus, cross traffic alert is enabled as well… all thanks to the radar sensors we put in into the rear bumper. Very happy with everything, and big thanks again to Andy!!! I will be back for my next retrofit soon (night vision).

Great work mate, it’s a brilliant mod, and the cross traffic assist is **** scary when it brakes really hard if you’re reversing and it thinks you will hit the car!

Andy is a top guy with an impressive set-up had mine done off him last year.

did you get the dimming mirrors put in as well?, oh and add soft close doors to your mod list, this is like deja vu!

[jldiablo]

Thanks man,Yeah I heard about the cross traffic thing... need to have a word it with missus so that she knows what's going on when it happens haha...

Luckily already got dimming mirrors but soft close door is definitely high on my list to do in the future haha.. all made possible by Andy

Enjoy!

I had it happen for the first time in a long while yesterday! Turning right and the car coming the other way was turning left into the same road and I was a bit keen to start moving as the road was busy. I thought I’d been hit up the a***! Definitely works!
