Both pre-facelift B8 (2015–2019) and facelift B8.5 (2020–2023) models are 100% fully supported by our kit. The only difference is the dashboard trim design, and we have a tailored solution for each:
①B8 Models (Pre-Facelift, 2015–2019)

Dashboard Feature: Center console with a physical warning light button.
Our Solution: Our OEM-style trim panel comes with a pre-cut hole that perfectly fits your original factory button.
Fit Guarantee: Works seamlessly for all B8 variants, including cars with factory ambient light (Ambient Plus Paket) and non-ambient light versions.
②B8.5 Models (Facelift, 2020–2023)

Dashboard Feature: Full, seamless center console design with no physical warning light button.
Our Solution by Steering Position:
Right-Hand Drive (RHD): We recommend our hidden strips-only kit. It installs directly into your original dashboard gaps, requiring no trim replacement and preserving your factory center console 100%.
Left-Hand Drive (LHD): We provide a dedicated full-dashboard replacement trim. The middle section of the trim is a non-illuminated black panel (no light output) to match your B8.5's factory design, ensuring a seamless, gap-free, OEM-style finish.
2) Wheelbase Compatibility
Both short-wheelbase (SWB, European/global version) and long-wheelbase (LWB, China Magotan version) models are fully supported.
How to Check Your Wheelbase:
Grab a ruler and measure the length of your rear door interior trim panel.
If it measures 64.5cm, it is a short-wheelbase (SWB) model.
If it measures 69cm, it is a long-wheelbase (LWB) model.
