The first thing I did after buying the car at auction was start digging into the full factory equipment.
Visually, and from the auction listing, it was clear the equipment consisted of these packages:
- Premium Plus package
- Technology packet
- Sport package
To confirm this, I went to the official Audi USA website and, through the support chat, ordered a free Window Sticker — that’s the sheet describing the full equipment that gets stuck on the car’s window when it’s sold in the US.
On top of the packages listed above, there was also an Audi Guard Wheel Lock Kit. My final Window Sticker looks like this:
So it’s basically the top-of-the-line equipment for the US market. Compared to Prestige trim, it’s missing adaptive cruise control (it’s actually there in hardware, but locked by software), a windshield camera, Home Link, a 12V outlet for the rear row and trunk, and power-folding, driver-side auto-dimming exterior mirrors.
Of all the missing parts and features, I’m only really interested in the camera (for road sign recognition, lane keeping, advanced collision avoidance) and adaptive cruise control. The cruise is simple — it can be activated easily, the only thing needed for full functionality is swapping the steering column stalk. The camera isn’t a complicated upgrade either — it needs a new windshield and the camera itself, and from what I understand it’s not too hard to install and activate here in Ukraine. I’m also interested in PLA 3.0 (self-parking), but that option wasn’t available in the US, so it can be sourced from European-market cars — swap the parking control unit, add 4 parking sensors, and code it in. After these upgrades, it’ll be close to the fullest possible equipment.
But the Window Sticker still doesn’t have the fullest equipment information — ETKA has more complete data. So I entered the VIN into ETKA and got the full list of options installed on the car.
There’s also something interesting worth checking in the My Audi phone app — it used to let you look up the equipment by VIN too, but now it only shows rendered images of the car in its as-built factory configuration.
That’s about all the equipment information there is to squeeze out.
