    So... Was driving down I-40 and then my main display started flickering from normal to this, and then steady this....



    The little gas symbol in the pic blinks.

    I have a half tank of gas and it is not the gas lid/cap. WTH is this? Didn't find this in the Audi manual either.

    not the gas cap door, the sensor is activated by the gas cap itself via a magnet.

    I prefer 105.7 myself as the newcomer in radio stations here in Winston! But yeah your gas cap is not seated properly or is broken.

    Well I checked the gas cap and its the same as the day I got the car a year ago. It also does not appear to be loose. Maybe the sensor is broke? Like I said, it didnt just come on, it flickered for like a few miles and then stayed on. (which would make sense if it were loose, but swear it is not!)
