A1:SetHeight(80)
A1:SetWidth(512)
A1:SetPoint("BOTTOM",-0,-1);

A2 = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, self)
A2:SetParent(A1)
A2:SetFrameStrata(BACKGROUND)
A2:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Textures\\A1L.tga"})
A2:SetHeight(80)
A2:SetWidth(128)
A2:SetPoint("LEFT",0,-1);
A2:SetFrameLevel(0)

A3 = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, self)
A3:SetParent(A1)
A3:SetFrameStrata(BACKGROUND)

Code:
A1 = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, self)
A1:SetParent(UIParent)
The third arg to createframe is the parentframe.

Replace your two lines with

Code:
A1 = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, UIParent)

Got the normal state working.
But I must be missing something.

anyone knows what to do with the events

Code:
AI1 = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, UIParent)
AI1:SetFrameStrata(BACKGROUND)
if UnitInVehicle("player") then
	AI1:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\V1.tga"})
else
	AI1:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1.tga"})
end
AI1:SetHeight(80)
AI1:SetWidth(512)
AI1:SetPoint("BOTTOM",-0,-1)
AI1:SetFrameLevel(0)

if not UnitInVehicle("player") then
	AI2 = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, UIParent)
	AI2:SetFrameStrata(BACKGROUND)
	AI2:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1L.tga"})
	AI2:SetHeight(80)
	AI2:SetWidth(128)
	AI2:SetPoint("RIGHT", AI1, "LEFT", 0, 0)
	AI2:SetFrameLevel(0)

	AI3 = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, UIParent)
	AI3:SetFrameStrata(BACKGROUND)
	AI3:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1R.tga"})
	AI3:SetHeight(80)
	AI3:SetWidth(128)
	AI3:SetPoint("LEFT", AI1, "RIGHT", 0, 0)
	AI3:SetFrameLevel(0)
end

AI1:RegisterEvent('UNIT_ENTERED_VEHICLE')
AI1:RegisterEvent('UNIT_EXITED_VEHICLE')

Code:

    elseif event == "UNIT_VEHCILE_EXITED" then

You Don't register your Frame to listen to any events... Use calls like

Frame:RegisterEvent('EVENTNAME')

To actually listen to events before the SetScript-call.

Posted via phone, so fix typos yourself

Code:
AI1:RegisterEvent('UNIT_ENTERED_VEHICLE')
AI1:RegisterEvent('UNIT_EXITED_VEHICLE')

You're registering the right events, but your onevent is mixed up.
Code:
AI1:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...)
    if event == "UNIT_VEHICLE_ENTERED" then
        AI1:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\V1.tga"})
    elseif event == "UNIT_VEHCILE_EXITED" then
        AI1:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1.tga"})
	else
		AI1:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1.tga"}) -- backup
	end
end)
Change them to UNIT_ENTERED_VEHICLE and UNIT_EXITED_VEHICLE.

okay got it working.

but I need some sort off check, to make sure the textures show when I log in.
since my backup function fails.


Code:
AI1 = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, UIParent)
AI1:SetFrameStrata(BACKGROUND)
AI1:SetHeight(80)
AI1:SetWidth(512)
AI1:SetPoint("BOTTOM",-0,-1)
AI1:SetFrameLevel(0)

AI2 = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, UIParent)
AI2:SetFrameStrata(BACKGROUND)
AI2:SetHeight(80)
AI2:SetWidth(128)
AI2:SetPoint("RIGHT", AI1, "LEFT", 0, 0)
AI2:SetFrameLevel(0)

AI3 = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, UIParent)
AI3:SetFrameStrata(BACKGROUND)
AI3:SetHeight(80)
AI3:SetWidth(128)
AI3:SetPoint("LEFT", AI1, "RIGHT", 0, 0)
AI3:SetFrameLevel(0)

AI1:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...)
    if event == "UNIT_ENTERED_VEHICLE" then
        AI1:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\V1.tga"})
		AI2:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\V1L.tga"})
		AI3:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\V1R.tga"})
--	elseif event == "UNIT_EXITED_VEHICLE" then
--		AI1:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1.tga"})
--		AI2:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1L.tga"})
--		AI3:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1R.tga"})
	else
		AI1:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1.tga"})
		AI2:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1L.tga"})
		AI3:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1R.tga"})
	end
end)

AI1:RegisterEvent('UNIT_ENTERED_VEHICLE')
AI1:RegisterEvent('UNIT_EXITED_VEHICLE')
Not sure If I should use
Code:
AI1:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")
and use

Code:
AI1:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...)
	if event == "PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD" then
		AI1:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1.tga"})
		AI2:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1L.tga"})
		AI3:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1R.tga"})
	elseif event == "UNIT_ENTERED_VEHICLE" then
        AI1:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\V1.tga"})
		AI2:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\V1L.tga"})
		AI3:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\V1R.tga"})
	else
		AI1:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1.tga"})
		AI2:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1L.tga"})
		AI3:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\AI-Suite\\Art\\A1R.tga"})
	end
end)

AI1:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")
AI1:RegisterEvent('UNIT_ENTERED_VEHICLE')
AI1:RegisterEvent('UNIT_EXITED_VEHICLE')
this works, but i'm not sure if i would run into problems on other ocations.
could somebody give me some advice to use it this way or how to do this the best way

*note: I didnt read your code, just your question.

if your concerned about the code being called more than once

PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD is called pretty much anytime you hit a loading screen... going into an instance, leaving an instance, and what not

PLAYER_LOGIN is called at login or a reloading of the ui
