Explanation for VW and Audi LED Emblem Staying On for 20 Seconds After Engine Shutdown

We have received complaints regarding the VW LED emblem staying illuminated for 20 seconds after the car is turned off. This phenomenon has also been noted with Audi LED emblems. However, this issue has not occurred with other vehicles.

What Causes this Problem? Is There a Quality Issue with the LED Emblems?

This behavior does not indicate a quality problem with the LED emblems. The latest signal model is used in newer VW and Audi vehicles. For example, when you connect the electrical wire, you may notice that the LED does not light up immediately. This is because the signal model differs from those in older models.

In these newer vehicles, when you turn off the car, a signal is sent to the onboard computer. This signal triggers the vehicle to shut down while residual electricity is still in the wiring. This residual power allows the LED emblem to stay illuminated for about 20 seconds before the remaining electricity is fully depleted and the LED Emblem turns off.

How to Solve the Problem with LED Emblems Staying On After Turning Off the Car

Some customers have expressed a desire for the LED emblem to turn off immediately when the car is turned off. Is there a method to achieve this?

Solution: Connecting to the Car Cabin Fuse Box

Yes, there is a solution. You can connect the LED emblem to the car cabin fuse box. Connecting it to the fuse box under the hood will remain illuminated for 20 seconds after the car is turned off.

The only method to ensure that the LED emblem turns off immediately is to connect the wiring to the car cabin fuse box. This way, when you turn off the car, the LED emblem will also turn off immediately.

Subject: Clarification on LED Emblem Behavior – Not a Quality Issue

We want to address the concerns regarding the LED emblem behavior in VW and Audi vehicles. This is not a quality problem with the LED emblem itself; rather, it is related to the specific car model.

The issue primarily arises in newer VW and Audi models, where the LED emblems may stay illuminated for a short time after the car is turned off. This behavior results from the signal model used in these vehicles, which differs from older models.
