The Audi Q5 LED emblem replaces the factory front grille badge on the Q5 and SQ5 with a dynamic illuminated version featuring four animation effects that activate every time you lock, unlock, or start the car.
The four-ring Audi logo glows in pure white LED — clean, crisp, and perfectly matched to the Q5’s premium SUV character.
⚠ ACC / Radar Compatibility Notice: Audi Q5 B9 models (2018–2024) equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control may have the front radar sensor positioned directly behind the grille badge.
Fitting an LED emblem over an ACC radar sensor may reduce detection range or trigger dashboard warnings.
Before ordering, check whether your Q5 has a radar sensor behind the front badge — if your Q5 has ACC, contact us with your VIN and we will confirm compatibility before you purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions — Audi Q5 LED Emblem
Does this fit the Audi Q5 Sportback? +
Yes.
The Q5 Sportback FY (2021–2024) and SQ5 Sportback FY (2021–2024) use the same front grille badge as the standard Q5 B9 Facelift.
Select the “Q5/SQ5 (2021–2024)” variant and your preferred colour.
Does this fit my 2008–2012 Audi Q5? +
No.
This emblem is designed for the Q5 8R Facelift (2013–2017) and Q5 FY B9 (2017–2024) platforms only.
The first-generation Q5 8R pre-facelift (2008–2012) uses a different badge size and mounting system and is not compatible with this product.
If you own a 2008–2012 Q5, contact our team and we will advise on compatible options.
Which variant do I choose — 2013–2020 or 2021–2024? +
Check your Q5’s build year on your registration document or V5C.
If your Q5 was built between 2013 and 2020, select the “Q5/SQ5 (2013–2020)” variant.
If your Q5 was built between 2021 and 2024, select the “Q5/SQ5 (2021–2024)” variant.
Both variants are priced at $149.99.
Does the Audi Q5 LED emblem work with Adaptive Cruise Control? +
The Q5 8R Facelift (2013–2017) does not typically have an ACC radar sensor behind the front grille badge and is compatible.
The Q5 B9 FY (2017–2024) may have a front radar sensor behind the grille badge depending on specification — this is common on models with the Adaptive Cruise Assist (ACC) package.
If your Q5 B9 has ACC, check whether the sensor is positioned behind the front emblem before ordering.
Contact our team with your VIN if you are unsure — we will confirm compatibility before you purchase.
Silver or Black — which finish suits the Q5 best? +
Silver chrome matches the factory Q5 badge finish exactly and looks completely OEM when unlit — the most popular choice for standard Q5 owners.
Gloss black is the more popular choice for SQ5 owners and Q5 owners with a Black Edition, S-line, or Vorsprung specification with black exterior trim elements.
Both produce identical pure white illumination when active.
Does fitting this emblem require any coding? +
No.
The emblem connects to the standard 12V headlight or DRL circuit using two wires.
No VCDS, no OBD adapter, no module changes, and no dealer visit are required.
The installation is fully reversible — the factory badge can be refitted at any time.
Is the Audi Q5 LED emblem waterproof? +
Yes.
The 2nd-generation sealed housing is fully dustproof and waterproof, rated safe for rain, road spray, and standard car washing including automatic and hand washing at normal pressure distances.
Rated for 10,000+ hours of working life.
Will fitting this emblem void my Audi Q5 warranty? +
In most cases no.
The installation leaves all factory wiring completely intact, requires no ECU or module changes, and is fully reversible.
