My understanding is the the black badges are not available for the black optics package.
Our build week is this week and hopefully expect it early December.
Cheers
On the black badges, I was also told black badges are no longer coming as a port installed option…i guess they install them at the port, not in the factory. However, the dealer said they can order and install them instead. I ordered mid July 2022 - and who knows when my SQ8 will come 😆

Our SQ8 is hanging out at port 3 months after it completed production. It is a 2022 and it lacks the phone box and the universal toll module.

Love my SQ8 as spec’d in my sig. I wouldn’t change a thing after 6 months. Glad I added the PedalBox to give it a better throttle response—cheap mod.

Glad you are liking it…and yes it appears the black badges were a port installed option, but no longer a choice. i am having my detail guy install these once I get them.
I have heard the phone box/toll module may still be absent due to supply chain issues, but who knows as of now.

Ordered our SQ8 Nov 2021. Allocation assigned Jan 2022. It should be in production right now and our delivery should be early-mid December. The last time I saw our order guide less than 30 days ago, the Audi Phone Box credit dropped off indicating they may be included again in production vehicles. The integrated toll module credit was still on there though but…meh.

Just went w/ black optics pkg & Daytona grey. Now know any messing w/ OEM ECU trips TD1 fault. Ugh...bastards. Now need to research "piggyback" options.

Did you install it on your own or did you have a shop install it?

I installed. Very easy, and there are YouTube vids to help. Essentially just unplug the throttle connector from the accelerator pedal, plug in one end of PedalBox to accelerator and other to the throttle connector. Then get some zip ties to tidy up the excess wiring.

I did this on my Q8 with any trim removal, but it is tight. Thus, on my SQ8 I removed the lower trim making access much easier.

Nice car!
I've place my order of new Q8 2nd of March 2021. Still no idea when that car might be here in Finland. Perhaps I have to wait few more moths. ( over 18 moths so far and still counting) 😁
