2019 A7 (C8) Sportback Lighting and Privacy Glass Query
Discussion
Took delivery of mine this morning following lease deals posted recently. Very pleased with the car but when I had played around on the configuration site it inferred privacy glass was standard on the s line models and also the front and rear lights had the new 'light show' (I am sure this probably has a name). Mine doesn't have the privacy glass and does not appear to have the light show below. Am I perhaps being stupid and it only comes as an optional extra?

There seems to be no rhyme nor reason when the light display works as sometimes does it when bright outside sometimes doesnt.
Spoiler seems to have a mind of its own as well.
Privacy glass doesnt appear black but when looking at certain angles, there is definitely a form of tint on it.
Overall delighted with the car so far, bar a niggly rattle under dash. Beautiful smooth ride.

I've only ever seen the lights work when its dark out.
I could've sworn I heard some plastic slide across the inside of the dash when I took a sharp left turn today too lol
It is very nice, I've sussed out the spoiler - if you manually put it up and go on the motorway when you slow from 70/80 it will drop back down, also if you manually put it up and park the car it stays up until you next start it up and drive off, it seems to drop - so look for the red line on top of the spoiler icon, if its there its up lol. Although it does take a fair few seconds to light up
I've ordered a DTUK box for mine, should be arriving tomorrow
I'm coming from a S5 like most people here so the delay and gradual build up from standstill is getting a bit tedious. Although I am loving the mpg
Good to see mate! I too came from the S5 and it is a pain. Is the DTUK box worth it? Might consider it given I have the car for three years. I could've sworn I heard some plastic slide across the inside of the dash when I took a sharp left turn today too lol

My latest gripe is the internal overhead lights coming on when I shut off the engine and open the door, darkness regardless of time of day and whatever I play with. Anyone any ideas?

Small bump for this? My latest gripe is the internal overhead lights coming on when I shut off the engine and open the door, darkness regardless of time of day and whatever I play with. Anyone any ideas?
