Does Audi know what's in a TT?
First, let me say "hi" to you all from a new TTq 225 Coupe owner. What a fun car, eh?
As I'm getting familiar with my new toy, I've found a few things that don't add up. Makes me wonder what other surprises I have in store!
For example, the sticker on the window says, "Integrated front fog lights, rear fog light." As far as I can tell, there is NO rear fog light on a TT. Am I missing something?
Also, the manual claims that the radio antenna is built into the rear glass (like my wife's A4). Sure -- then what's that nubbly thing on the roof?
Can anyone enlighten a curious newbie? Is there a rear fog light, or just a bad proofreader at Audi? Ditto for the antenna. Are there two?
Has anyone else noticed equipment promised in the advertising that isn't really on the car?
Vroom, vroom,
Steve

Re: Is your TT a Canadian??
Nope, it's not Canadian and neither am I - despite my use of "eh" in my original post :-)
Why put a GPS antenna on cars without the Nav system? Do all TT coupes have one?

Rear fog light is not delivered on US models. I think that the socket may be present but the light switch is void of the rear fog position.
The roof antenna is for the analog cellular phone option. There is indeed a radio antenna in the rear window.
Haven't seen "promised" items in advertising that are missing on my TT.
Hope this helps in your education.

Actually the rooftop antenna is for the phone and it's there whether you have one or not.
There are no rear fog lights in the US. The manual seems to be written for the European model and the rest of the world has to guess what we really have.

No overpromising?
Really? Then I guess you missed the line in the TT Specifications section of the product brochure that says:
"Instrument cluster with tachometer, speedometer, VOLTMETER, fuel, coolant and OIL TEMPERATURE gauges."
Sounds more like an A4 to me!
Sorry. I'm not trying to nit pick. I just find it amusing that the brochure is so inaccurate.
