Thanks for the video. I have a 2018 Audi Q7 and there is no need to connect the OBD2 to disable the electric parking brake. Simply follow the sequence in this video and the parking brake will be disable
Good info, Thanks. If you are in the northern US (or similar conditions), places like Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, etc, there is a lot of snow and they use road salt, I would want to put in new slide rail hardware, and for me, I take the caliper bracket off and remove any rust and debris, with a file and dremmel tool, then put in new hardware. Dry fit the pads to make sure they do not bind. If so, more cleaning may be required, there are other videos on that. Again it depends on the age of the vehicle and condition, etc, but something to be aware of.
Ok guys to hell with all this fancy stuff there are 3 easier ways 1.use carista 2.get a battery and 2 pieces of wire unplug the brake motor touch the wires on the connector or 3.take the 2 bolts off the motor. slightly turn to the side and wind the torx bolt inside all the way to the right until it stops. BAM .there you go pop thise pads out
@@AutoMotiv8ed a question, did you leave the diagnosis device plugged in whilst changing the pads? If so did u have a battery charger connected? As I've heard if the battery goes flat, game over. Cheers
@@pianoman42421 Hi, yes the computer was connected and yes battery was connected to back up power while doing so! However, If you dont have access to back up power, it can still be done. Once you wind piston back, you can turn car ignition off, and re enter the setting to finalize brake change once both sides are complete. Hope this helps
I just changed the rear pads on my 17 SQ5. The rear parking brakes are a 2 wire system. Unplugging it is simple and prevent it from getting in the way. checked with an older 2010 Q5 and it’s the same.

thank you good info!
I hooked up the caliber to my car battery and that unlocked the electric brake too. Much easier and cheaper than buying the computer stuff
be caufefully become somtimes audi's may not like to be done this way and can cause other issues, best to do it the way manufacturer recommends
How did you hook it up to the car battery?
i really appreciate the time you took this is very informative
@shaquan shapiff718 thank you for your feedback 🙏🙏
Thank you very much. This process also works with Carista
You're welcome!
But you guys don't explain bolts/nuts sizes on brake pads calipers, so what sizes do we have to use
What scanner tool are you using?
Thank you for sharing, very effective and fast
@LEVUCAR CHANNEL thank you for your comments 🙏
Does the caliper piston need to be rotated while being compressed, or is it compression only? Which compression tool make/model are you using?
I believe it's compression only.
compression only!
please do some very clear very precise BIG THANKYOU
thank you

You're welcome!
Can you bypass the parking brake by simply unplugging it?? It’s a simple 2 wire system , either on or off.
Hi @Phill M156
Not sure have never tried, i do not recommend as these newer European vehicles start becoming very sensitive when being tampered with
You can also get an OBDELEVEN, pro from the main website around for 30$.
Thanks ! very much !

What computer are you using to Talk to the Car?
Why are you manually winding the calliper back if the computer has already wound them off?
13 and 15 mm for the 2 bolts and a torx head for the screw holding the rotor on
The computer retracts the E-Brake, the calipers don't retract when you retract E-brake.
Thank you very much.!
@Konstantinas Nikonorycevas thank you 🙏🙏
