Default A4 Dash Question

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/78287/a4_dash.jpg"></center><p>Hey everyone-

I have a weird question about the A4 dash, in most pistures I see the display between the Tach and Speedo shows the Temp and Gear (If Auto) in Red Digital, and then warning lights above that, in the picture above the display looks to be fully digital sorry the pic is so small, but in a bigger version you can see that the whole display has red digital information in it, by the way this is a '97 1.8T. Was this display an option or a Aftermarket job? Thanks for any help. Also thanks to all who helped me with my decision on whether to get a 1.8T or 2.8 V6. I have decided on a 1.8T.

Garrett

Default The full digital display is a standard feature on most Audis in the US.

I don't know which model year they introduced it though, maybe 1998.

Default This is a 97...

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/78287/a4_dash_2.jpg"></center><p>I looked at a lot of A4's on ebay and a few other places and they all seem to have a dash like the one above (Digital Temp and Gear) and warning lights above that. The picture with the full digital is a 97 and the picture above is a 98...

Default It must have been an option in 97 too...

The first pic with the full digital is a 97... So it must have been an option or the owner replaced the dash with a newer one. Thanks

It is a Trip Computer display. It is optional on all 97-99.5s and was standard on 2000+ (IIRC)
