Emergency Escape Tool for Audi A4 — Buying Checklist
Emergency Escape Tool on the Audi A4 is one of the few items where the specification is not a matter of taste. This buying checklist covers what has to be checked before the part is bought, what the installation actually involves, and what has to be documented for the vehicle to stay insurable and road legal in your market.
Failures here are rarely dramatic. They are a fitment that looked right on paper and failed on the bench, or reorders that did not match the approved sample — the kind of problem that shows up at the worst possible moment.

What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.

Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the ISO/TS 16949-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 500 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
