Yes. Virtual Link includes a one-year limited warranty from the date of purchase. If it fails because of a manufacturing defect, we will replace it. See the warranty terms.
How do I claim warranty service?
Use our Contact form, select “Warranty,” provide your order number and reason, and we’ll issue an RMA with instructions.
Product Use & Legal Compliance
Will installation void my vehicle warranty?
Our plug‑and‑play modules are reversible and don’t alter factory hardware, but manufacturer/dealer policies can vary. Check with your dealer.
Can I open or modify the device or its firmware?
No. Opening the device, modifying it, or reverse engineering its firmware voids the warranty and is not permitted under our Terms of Sale. If something is not working, contact support.
Technical & Installation
Will Virtual Link fit my car?
Virtual Link is designed for the supported factory air suspension vehicles in our vehicle finder. Select your year, make, and model, then confirm the suspension configuration before ordering.
What is the difference between A1 and B1?
A1 and B1 are configurations of Virtual Link for different vehicle electronics. Your vehicle determines the correct one. The finder will match it for you.
How do I control Virtual Link?
From your phone, over Wi-Fi, using the Virtual Link web app. Once your profiles are set up, Virtual Link keeps working with the phone disconnected.
How far can I adjust the ride height?
Up to 200 mm above or below stock, or as far as your car’s suspension system will accept.
Does it work with Audi drive modes?
Yes. You can link your saved heights to the factory Audi drive modes.
How many height profiles can I save?
There is no limit.
Where can I find software updates?
Published file sets and matching documentation are available in Software & Updates. Use the files intended for your product configuration.
Where can I find installation guides?
Guides for each supported vehicle are in Installation Guides.
What does installation involve?
It depends on the vehicle. A1 installs take about 5 minutes on C7/C7.5, about 10 minutes on D4.5, and about 45 minutes on D4. B1 installs are 3 hours book time and include connections at the ride-height sensors and underbody harness routing. Your installation guide lists the steps and tools.
Do you offer live tech support?
We do not offer live tech support. For urgent issues, reach out through the Support page.
