Fog Lights in Prestige Only?
At recent visit to dealer i was told that the Prestige model has a different front grill/bumper than premium plus etc. It appears that it even has FOG LIGHTS in lower portion of bumper. However, I have seen a few Prestige models without it. Can anyone explain??? Is it part of the Innovation Package only??? Are these lasers for the Night Vision?
Brochure says it is part of the Prestige Package in the "S Line Front & Rear Bumpers". Anyone have a clue?

The 'fog lights' that you refer to are part of the adaptive cruise control system. If you look at them closely they have a black tint to them. I believe they are infrared based transmitters/receivers.
The real fog lights are now incorporated into the main headlight housing with the other lights.

Thanks so much for the quick reply! I am disappointed about that as I like the look of it better but dont really want to spend $6k for the innovation package. Not to mention the cars that I have seen with this package also have the $6k worth of B&O stereo upgrade so it takes the car north of $80k... Too rich for my blood! Thanks again.

The camera for night vision is hidden in the rightmost ring in the Audi decal in the front grill.

Let me explain in depth a little more, Phantom68 is correct, those are not fog light, they are distance sensors, for the adaptive cruise and Audi- Pre-sense Front System, included in the Innovation or Driver Assistance Package.
If i am not mistaken, you get all weather or front fog lights when you get the Full LED headlight option, which you get by default when you have the innovation package or its a stand alone option of $1400.00. I don't think that you get front fog lights with the standard Xenon setup.
Also the Fog light itself (when you get the LED headlight Package) is actually an LED Bulb and it doubles as the cornering light also.
And LED Headlights are only available on Prestige Model Cars, Because the innovation package and or the LED headlight packages are only available on Prestige Model cars

You should order an interface, its a great investment.
I plan to re-order another one some time soon.

That was me, i haven't returned the interface as yet, i was planning to do it last night, but i got held up trying figure out where the coding is hidden for the Rear Spoiler.

I plan to re-order another one some time soon.

You are on the right path! Let us know on the rear spoiler coding!
