The standard LED headlights have the same strength/output as the Matrix LED headlights, the Matrix simply has 'intelligent' software that allows the lens' to be switched on/off automatically in patterns..

Personally I wouldn't waste the money on Matrix.It's just more deceiving Audi marketing to think you're getting something major over standard, a bit like the "heated front and outer rear seats" option, which in fact only adds the rears to the standard heated front seats.
It's not about the light output (which is very good anyway), it's about the fact I can drive around with the equivalent of full beams on all the time without blinding anyone.
If only they didn’t blind everyone. Too slow on the twisty country roads around me. Can’t - and therefore don’t - trust them. Certainly would not pay extra giving how little I use them.
I too couldn’t get on with them on either my 991.2 GTS or the RS4 demo. Too slow to dip and sometimes dipped on reflective signage on country lanes. They’re a pain in rural areas. The standard lights are LED anyway, you’re only buying the beam assist (which doesn’t work that well)

(albeit, they currently have a fault showing on the dash that's getting sorted next week)
Rear level sensor by any chance?
No idea, but I'll find out next week when it goes in to be fixed.
Dash just says 'Adaptive light failure' or something along the lines of that, although they appear to be working just fine

I had adaptive light failure on my b8 and it was the cornering bulb that had gone and needed replacing

Nobody seems to be going matrix headlights.

They are very good
I also ordered matrix led headlights, but forgot them of the list in my previous post :bash:

Congrats on the order. Finally got a build week of 14 which should hopefully mean early May delivery.

Added some extras after ordering.

Changed out piano black inlays for Carbon as worried that the black will show scratch marks. Also added TPM and 4th year warranty.

Hurry up May!!! Time goes so slowly when u have a car on order!

They seem to be getter be getting these built and out quicker than the B8 - I’m sure at the same point I ordered in may for del late dec for mine.

I assume it is because of the lower rent engine in the B9 :mrgreen:

you must mean the Porsche engine. Not low rent so long as you refer to it as a Porsche engine.

Also added TPM
TPM is standard. TPM advanced is optional. Don't let the way the brochure is worded fool you into paying for what is already standard!

There are several examples of this on current Audis incl S4 and RS4 etc, for example, "Heated front/rear seats, 300 GBP" when heated fronts are already standard. Several of the wordings are a touch crafty!

But the TPM advanced option gives you a snazy display which shows you the tyre temps and pressures. Standard TPM only bongs if you have a low pressure situation.

Standard TPM is not actually TPM though, it just monitors rotational speed of the wheels via the ABS sensors, it doesn't have pressure sensors in the wheels.

Yep.... wanted the snazzy display to show pressures and temps in the Audi VC.

Bit gimmicky, but easier than going to petrol stations to check tyre pressures.

Strange.... just noticed today that the Audi Tracker and JSON is listing options that i have not ordered.

It is listing HUD and Storage pack, which is not part of my build. Should the info on here match what you have ordered or is this inaccurate?

It should do
If they’re not charging you for hud and storage pack, I’d keep quiet personally ;)
