hey guys,

just completed the mod on my a5, only issue is that it does’t go 100% down, flushed with the trunk...

PFA :

any idea if i did something wrong when dismantling it for painting, or how can i corect this? it stays like 1cm up... if i manually push it it goes down the cm no resistance. if it’s up i can’t move it at all by hand ...

I PM'ed you.

And yes, its everything you need to wire it up, it's almost plug and play. I designed it for people without much knowledge about car electrics.

Hi I have a 2012 S5 convertible- will this electric spoiler upgrade work on my car?

 

[Baas J.]

No, because the RS5 bootlid is different!

 

[hanif87]

The RS5 bootlid swap only works for the coupe version A5/S5 as the convertible and sportback are different.

My admittedly wild speculation: It looks like the spoiler 'bounced' when going down - like it was headed down, hit some sort of limit, then moved back up a small amount. So possibly it was reassembled 'out of alignment'? I have no clue what the 'proper' procedure would be, but if I had to take a stab at it, possibly loosen the spoiler blade enough that the mechanism can operate freely. Cycle a few times to let it go to the natural 'down' position, then tighten/adjust the spoiler blade to be fully down at that point.

Hi, I sell complete wirelooms for this. It's also in the sale section.

I supplied many people with the correct loom and also have done this retrofit myself on my S5 2013.

Hey are you still building these? I sent a pm

That's correct , that's why not even the RS5 convertible has it , only coupe hard tops . Now I tell you this , a good body repair shop could make it happen and it can look stock , but like I said "a good body repair shop"

Did you get one of the wire harnesses from Baas?

 

[jfonse81]

No , I had everything for the retrofit including the wiring .

I'm in the prepping phase, I have all my s5 components to swap over. I bought a new decklid bare. I have the spoiler complete with motor and mount assembled. I still need to get the bcm2 and console switch. So my questions lie around the correct bcm2, the plug for the switch and the wiring from the trunk.

 

[Thrylos]

Right now I'm looking at 8k0907064km for the module and I found pigtails for it. I just can't find the wiring for the trunk and a pigtail for the switch.

I've reached out to wolf auto parts for the wiring of the trunk and a pigtail for the switch

Yeah , I hear you, but at least you got some main components, you can always install and later wire it up as you get the rest of parts .

Yeah wolf is a good source, you might also consider( german_parts ) on Ebay, they too have many rs5 parts , I recently bought the rs5 cluster from them , so try them out too .

I will do that. Thank you. I'll come back and update later on.

No problem, best of luck !
I'm in the middle of retrofitting the rs5 cluster to my S5 and also the side skirts too. Not sure if to post it here or on another forum but once I finish with both projects I'll post them.

Hi, I pm'ed you. Yes, I still make the PnP harness.

 

[jfonse81]

Reviving this post and just wanted to post some retrofits to the S5 community.
1- RS5 side skirts
2- RS5 cluster gauges
3- RS5 custom carbon fiber spoiler wing

Does anyone have the instruction and wiring guide for this?

 

[hanif87]

This is mine. Although, still awaiting it's arrival though.

Here's a video on how to do the install. Part numbers are included in the video.
