Default 2015 A4 sports upgrade ADS post-purchase?

I have purchased in Canada the 2015 A4 Komfort with sports suspension, 6-speed, monsoon grey, limited s-line options: bucket seats, 3-spoke sports wheel, s-line trim, 18-inch wheels.

......not sure about platform (B9 or B?

I am really happy with the car, its truly awesome ! But I do now regret not adding the convenience package with the audi drive select (with adaptive damper control system) and advanced key with start button. The sports suspension is awesome and absolutely essential but i do wish i had the comfort/custom option of the drive select for those 7 hour-plus highway trips. I dont care much about the key upgrade.

The cost at the time was marginal. Unfortunately i didnt do my research and didnt think much of leaving out the option at the time of purchase. Not much explanation from the dealer either.

Is it possible to get this option added on by the dealer or any other way and what would be required? I assume if dealer doesnt do this but its possible, It'd be best to do post-warranty?

Looking forward to some expert advice!

Thanx!

Not expert advice but my 2c worth...

If you are lucky, it might just be some VCDS recoding as was needed to enable TPMS (done that for a number of folks on their B8's and Q5's). My gut feel though is that there is a lot of electronic sensors associated with ADS and it probably also required electronically controlled shock absorbers so proably an expensive retrofit.

Have to leave it to someone with a parts manual to provide more specific info.
