Default Flat tire 2016 TT

I got a huge chunk of metal in my drivers side rear tire last week.
Luckily was at the office/plant and a full size jack was handy.
I have a 2016 TT and didn't see anything that looked like a jack when getting the spare tire and lug wrench out.
There was a black wire device that may morph into some kind of jack, but didn't see anything else.
Is that it, or is mine missing, or do we not have one?
Thanks

It's up in the top right (front passenger's side close to back seat) with a velcro strap holding it down above the battery unless you're missing one. The unfolding black wire device is the crank for it.

I'm always going to encourage people to take their car in now if you have any doubts. I hit a pothole and thought it was just a flat. Turned out to be a warped wheel, two blown shocks and a broken steering rack.

Indeed. Slow leak after hitting a pothole in my allroad turned out to be a significantly bent rim.
