It's an "at the moment" readout.  So when coasting downhill with the car
in neutral it will give you three solid lines when you're getting over
200MPG, which is what you're getting at that moment with the car in
neutral and coasting at 40 MPH.  The cause: It's working as designed.

And the answer to that "Jeopardy" game show question is:  This is your
first Audi factory radio.  They're all like that,  it will remind you to
shut it off with a "ping ping ping" sound when you open the door.

It works well for an analog phone,  I had mine working for about 3 years
because the installer "accidentally" programmed two phones with the same
number.   It worked very well for me, with excellent reception, no
complaints about the unit.

replaceable?

Check the V8Q archives, we just had some recent posts on what's involved
in replacing these little bulbs.  And while you're at it join us on the
the V8Q list.
