Default Spare tire but no jack or tire iron

So yesterday I had the unpleasant nastiness of getting a pop'ed tire, looks like I ran over something and it cut the tire. I thought a minor inconvenience as I have a spare in the trunk, so it will cost me all of 20 mins to replace it and on my merry way! Guess I was wrong, looks like I have a spare tire but no jack or tire iron! Can you all confirm this is the case?? I looked in the manual which they stated there might be a fix-a-flat system with a compressor if equipped, however mine does not have that.

I looked everywhere for the jack + iron but no bueno. Did Audi really just include a spare but no way of you physically replacing the tire yourself? Kind of bonkers imo.

MY18 or 19? I heard MY19 they just throw the jack and toolkit in the trunk, while MY18 it's next to the spare tire.

I went through the same thought process. Top secret location.

Yeah they give you all the bits including the lug nut cover puller, air pump etc.
It would be nice to have a high viz vest too.

‘Unfortunately that manual is only available in the hieroglyphic alphabet used in ancient Egypt.

That manual exists but if a person with the XY chromosome reads it, the XX chromosome equipped person will immediately “disappear” you! Be very careful what you wish for!!!
