A move in the right direction, except the winter setup from my B6 won't fit.....

I hope this is true. It'll be a lot easier to do wheel and tire packages for you guys!

Ok, bad news. False alarm. Spoke to AOA today....

and they confirmed that the article might be for something in process but has not been implemented yet. The A4's being sold now definitely have the sensors, not the indirect system as described in the article. Sounds like it could be an inline change but no confirmation of that at this point.

I'm bummed.

Since there was nothing in the manual, I did confirm what the slotted area on the center console to the right of the gearshift is. It's a coin holder. (found on Prestige, not sure about other trims). Crappy design, but there you are.
