Default 2015 A4 new owner: confused by a few things

Bought a 2015 A4 last weekend. Still going thru the manual.

Saw the black plastic clip-like thing screwed to the glove box interior on the left side. Can't find it in the manual. Anyone know what this is?

While we are at it, what's in the clear bag beside the spare tire in the trunk? Looks like something to pull out fuses, but....the fuses aren't back there, are they?

Also...REAR fog lights? You Euros.....

And shouldn't that sunglasses holder above my head be felt-lined? Or something like cloth maybe, to prevent scratching the lenses?

Any yes....this is the short list of my 1st-world problems...

1) You mean the thing that holds an air pressure gauge?
2) There are some fuses in the trunk - pop out the storage thing on the right side of the car
3) Rear fog lights are for blinding tailgaters
4) that sunglass holder is utterly useless. I can't fit anything in there without careful maneuvering. I use the little tray thing on the inside of the glovebox

You've really gone over the car in detail! awesome!

1) Air pressure gauge? That right? How in the world did you figure that out? Better yet: I'm assuming Audi sells one to fit that spot that's only about $192 USD, I bet. (the ones I've seen in my garage are all different sizes.)

2) That right thing pops out? I gotta go check that out too now!

3) Good idea. Must try that @ night. Did not know they were that bright.

4) Good idea, poor execution.

Detail? Sure. Gotta know what that stuff is so I get my money's worth, right!

I like the sunglass holder. No problems with scratching. Not felt but, as I remeber it, some kind of soft material. Rubber?

What kind of sunglasses do you have? I can't get any of mine to fit.

Me either. Two pairs of different RayBans and a pair of Oakleys.

Heck, we have had our 2013 A4 for 3 years now and still don't know the in and out of the car. You are good!

I will receive my 2016 SQ5 in about 2 weeks! I guess I should read the manual once I get it.

I'm trying to fit my Raybans as well. No dice. I can see Oakleys not fitting. I didn't even try any of my sport wrap-around ones. If anything, I thought the more traditional ones might fit though. Maybe regular eyeglasses??

My personal preference is for drivers to keep eyeglasses on their face.

But seriously, can someone post a photo of any pair of sunglasses fitting in there?
