Why Is The Screen In My Cluster Only Red & Another Couple of Questions

['mk4-turbo]

I have a 08 A4 S Line with all the options..i noticed that my screen in between my guages are only red instead of red with white....any ideas why?

Also my clock is only in 24 hour mode but i can't change it to 12 hour mode..

the flasher nob is supposed to have a reset button on it but not mine

Anybody know why?

[AudiWxGuy]

Do you have Nav? You only get the color DIS if you have the Nav...I think.

[m0nk89]

i think its either the convenience package or gps that gives you the full color screen, i have it

['mk4-turbo]

i have the conveniance package but i don't have Navi.....weird cus my friend has an 06 without Navi and his screen is colour and he has the reset button on his wiper nob

[1sicknickel]

Only 05.5 and 2006 B7's came with the color display. 2007 and up get only the red cluster similar to the B6 cluster

[Louis42]

You only get the color screen with NAV. I've got an 08 S Line with every option but NAV and I've got the red screen. Also the reset button is on the bottom edge of the wiper lever.

oh
thank you

[AudiWxGuy]

Some cars don't have it the reset button on the wiper. I had a loaner that didn't. I was very surprised.

Another hack at the features list for the 07s. Good thing this one didn't affect me (got RSN-E).

I really don't understand why

[ed@mtl]

You got a LEMON! Audi forgot to put it on.

imagine

but is there a logical reason for why it wouldn't be there

[TSlice]

I have an '06 with Premium and Sunroof packages, and don't have the color DIS or the button on the wiper stalk for the trip computer.

[Louis42]

So for those of you who have (or have driven) cars without the reset button on the wiper stalk, was it located somewhere else or missing altogether? If it was completely missing I don't see how you could cycle through the 2 trip computers or get to the setup menu.

[TSlice]

If you don't have the button (like me), you don't have a trip computer. It sucks. I don't see avg. MPG or anything else you guys with the trip computer get.

[AudiWxGuy]

it was missing and I couldn't find it anywhere else. I think the trip computer thing is in one of the packages...not sure which one though.

Not true, My 2007 A4 avant has RNSe + color DIS. The color DIS is a seperate option for 2007, or it came when RNSe was ordered.

[1sicknickel]

That is strange when did you order the car. I special ordered my car and it was 1 of the first 07 Ibis White Avants to hit the states back in May of 06

[CoreyRandmetz]

it came with the technology package. I have a 2006 A4 with Convenience package and red screen and no wiper stalk button.

[muffinman]

Like the others said NO RESET BUTTON = NO TRIP COMPUTER - it's that simple. I didn't even *think* of adding it because I thought something so basic would be standard in an Audi. I only get the cruising range data... sucks.

[Maverik869]

it came with the technology package.

x2
In order to get Color display, you need to have Technology package!

I just picked up my 06 A4 S-Line 6spd quattro, and it has color display because it has a technology package. It does not have a nav.

hey! this is my 1st post on AZ!

[pedro]

My car was built in May of 2007. I do have the NAV system so thats why mine came with the color DIS. Does your Avant have nav?

[Phrost]

Maybe it was a good idea for me to buy a lease return... 2005.5 with premium and convenience here, color screen and trip computer with the reset button...

and memory seats, folding mirrors, reverse tilt down mirror, 3spoke steering wheel, heated rear seats, okay I'll stop teasing you guys

[Postman]

Well, in '06 I know it required the technology package to get the MFD, and it only cam as an LCD (white/red) not LED (red only). You still have the mileage, but that's about it. Didn't matter Nav or not.

Pissed me off, since every Audi or VW I've owned in the past 16 years has had the trip computer. Didn't even bother thinking it was now an option.

Not sure about 08.

[toro]

Can we retrofit it. let say change the stalk with reset button and VAG to get trip computer.

[Sanjman]

ARE YOU GUYS SURE ABOUT THIS???

I thought and was pretty sure that the color DIS only comes with the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).

I could be wrong, but I feel 90% confident on this because this was something I was looking for when I was purchasing a B7...

[CoreyRandmetz]

Again, The color screen comes with the technology package.

[FlyPenFly]

I don't have the technology package but I do have RNS-E and the color screen.

My friend's 08 TT has RNS-E and Technology package but no color screen DIS.

[1sicknickel]

I was gonna do aftermarket Nav so I didnt order my car with the NAV option I have bluetooth tho.

My car was built in May of 2007. I do have the NAV system so thats why mine came with the color DIS. Does your Avant have nav?

[Phrost]

I thought I had the tire pressure monitoring system on my 2005.5 too, but I just swapped my winter wheels on with no sensors and no light came on. Guess I don't have the tpms?

[TSlice]

So many questions. So few answers...

[Phrost]

Call up Audi's dumb ass, they're the ones who discontinued a bunch of awesome features and hacked up the warranty we all know and love

[leozip]

I have a 2008 w/ NAV and it has the color screen. My wife's does not have that option...

[CoreyRandmetz]

I don't have the technology package but I do have RNS-E and the color screen.

My friend's 08 TT has RNS-E and Technology package but no color screen DIS.

2005.5-2006 possibly 2007 it was the technology package, they change their packages and what they offer just about every year.

[mksap11]

No TPMS on 2005.5s. But we get a lot of other things that Audi axed from later MYs like memory seats and color DIS (both with the proper packages)

[muffinman]

we can blame the euro vs. dollar discrepancy for the changes... i wish i had memory seats, folding mirrors, the warning triangle/emergency kit in the trunk, etc.

it's happening with bmw and mercedes as well.. before you know it, cupholders will be an option

[DeMOROlized]

Some cars don't have it the reset button on the wiper. I had a loaner that didn't. I was very surprised.

The button is there if you have a trip computer, which is part of some package.

[DeMOROlized]

ARE YOU GUYS SURE ABOUT THIS???

I thought and was pretty sure that the color DIS only comes with the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).

I could be wrong, but I feel 90% confident on this because this was something I was looking for when I was purchasing a B7...

Yes you are wrong. Color DIS has nothing to do with TPMS.

[FlyPenFly]

How do you fold the mirrors?
