Cool hidden tech
Cool hidden tech
Just found a simple yet really useful hidden bit of tech on the Audi.
Went fishing today, popped the rear seat centre arm rest down to poke the rod through from the boot and it had a sleeve to cover the rods and make sure nothing touched the interior. Doesn’t look like it’s ever been used.
Are there any other little gems worth mentioning?

I found a PlayStation plumbed into my rear armrest where the first aid kit was supposed to be.

Re: Cool hidden tech
It’s for storing a shotgun out of public view.
So you can rob a bank. And then pay audi the extortionate prices for doing work on our cars.
Ps Chris.
You cannot go skiing on fishing rods.

Re: Cool hidden tech
It wasn't hidden,more a case of you never looked before lol . it was standard equipment in the Avant, listed as
'Through load facility ( ski bag)"
Although I do like steve2003rs6's idea of the shotgun and the reason for it.

I can’t ski on skis either. I might have more luck with using the skis for fishing though.steve2003rs6 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 29, 2020 5:02 pmIt’s for storing a shotgun out of public view.

Re: Cool hidden tech
I’ve now got an indelible image of you smashing fish with skis.

Re: Cool hidden tech
Lol I had the same image smashing fish.
Also a pain to neatly return the bag to the storage compartment.
A bit like the cluster cables. Needs another two inches.
That reminds me. My wife said the same thing the other night. Needs another two inches.

Re: Cool hidden tech
Only had the car 8 years. Recently found the bit of plastic above the rear view mirror that fills the gap between the sun shades.
Re: Cool hidden tech
Lol. The rod was good enough...
Yes, I found the small sun visor. A nice bit of engineering for a problem that does exist.

Re: Cool hidden tech
You must of been very careful with the skis. Can hardly see where you clubbed it.
Re: Cool hidden tech
The 'loon had the ski load through bag. I recommend not using it though, you need to be an origami master to get the bag back in situ.
No matter where you go, there you are.
Re: Cool hidden tech
If the ski bag is anything like the A8 version you can remove the bag easily by unclipping it.
Mine is now folded inside a strong B4 envelope stuffed down by the spare wheel under the boot floor.
