How does the car come up with a date after being without power?

I hope that date means something.

07-02-19xx is my birthday. That would be great to know that my TT had the same.

Default firmware dates for ECU/dash written for a car born in 1999? Dunno
you know there's a lot of software guys at VAG nowadays.

Default My TT is 2001 and not sure of the build date, but guess the ECU must have this date
built in.

Anyway, it would appear my TT was at least conceived on my birthday.

Default That is the default date on all the ECUs>>>
and remains a mystery as to what the significance is...lots of creative guessing but no facts
