Where Do I Find My Audi A1 VIN?
Dashboard (Visible Through Windshield)
• Look through the lower corner of the windshield on the driver’s side.
• The VIN is stamped on a metal plate at the base of the dashboard – this is the quickest way to view it without opening the car.
Driver’s Door Jamb
• Open the driver’s door and look at the B-pillar or door frame.
• The certification label includes the VIN, vehicle weight data, and paint code.
Under the Hood
• Some Audi A1 models have the VIN stamped on the engine bay frame or firewall for factory identification.
• This location can help confirm authenticity during inspection or servicing.
Vehicle Documents
• Your VIN also appears on the V5C registration document (logbook), insurance policy, service booklet, and warranty papers.
• Digital copies may also be stored in your myAudi account if the car is registered online.

What Are Audi A1 Option Codes?
Sometimes you notice a Audi A1 with a unique finish, upgraded upholstery, and wheels that make it special. Behind those choices are option codes that tell the story.
We will cover how these codes translate into equipment that shapes your A1’s character. They are not arbitrary. They are option codes that Audi uses to confirm features at build. They are usually printed in the service book, listed on a factory sticker in the trunk or wheel well, and accessible from any Audi dealer with your VIN.
How To Find Your Audi A1 Option List
Your Audi A1 option list reveals every feature, package, and specification your vehicle was equipped with when it left the factory. This includes trim level, paint color, interior materials, technology features, and optional equipment. To ensure accuracy, start with official Audi sources before relying on online databases.
Dealer Printout
• An Audi dealership can generate a detailed factory build sheet or “vehicle data specification” using your VIN.
• This includes all factory-installed options, packages, and equipment codes.
• It’s the most reliable and complete source of build information.
myAudi Account or App
• Register your vehicle on the myAudi portal or myAudi smartphone app using your VIN.
• Depending on your region and model year, you may see a digital summary of your car’s configuration, including key features and trim-specific details.
Original Window Sticker or Sales Invoice
• If available, the Monroney-style window sticker (for North American models) or original sales invoice will list all factory options, packages, and pricing.
• This is especially useful for verifying what was included in your car’s trim level.
Service Booklet or Vehicle Data Label
• Inside the owner’s manual or the spare wheel well, there’s often a vehicle data label listing your Audi A1’s option codes (PR codes).
• These three character alphanumeric codes (like 1AT, 7X2, or 9Q8) correspond to specific equipment or features.
Online VIN Decoders
• Some third party tools can decode your VIN and list basic factory specifications.
• Accuracy varies, so always confirm online results against your Audi dealer’s build data.
What Is An Audi A1 Build Sheet?
An Audi A1 build sheet – sometimes called a vehicle data sheet or production specification sheet – is an official factory document that lists exactly how your car was configured when it left the production line. It’s essentially your car’s birth certificate, showing every color, trim, option, and code applied during manufacturing.
What It Includes
• Factory option and equipment codes (PR codes)
• Engine, transmission, and drivetrain details
• Exterior color and paint code
• Interior trim materials, upholstery, and finishes

How Audi A1 Options Affect Value
Factory options can significantly influence the resale value, desirability, and long term ownership appeal of an Audi A1. Well equipped cars tend to attract more buyers and retain stronger value, while base spec or sparsely optioned examples often sell for less. Understanding which options matter most helps you make smarter buying or selling decisions.
Performance and Drivetrain Options
• S Line and S1 variants command the highest resale premiums thanks to upgraded suspension, larger brakes, and more powerful engines such as the 2.0 TFSI.
• S tronic dual-clutch transmissions (DQ200, DQ250) are highly desirable for their smooth shifting and fuel efficiency, provided they’ve been properly serviced.
• Cars equipped with Drive Select (2H1) or sport suspension packages generally appeal to enthusiasts and hold stronger residual value.
What to look for: Confirm that the gearbox and suspension match the VIN’s build data; many “S Line look” cars lack the true performance hardware.
Interior and Comfort Features
• Options such as leather or Alcantara upholstery (N5F, N7U), heated seats (4A3, 4A4), and dual-zone climate control (9AK) enhance comfort and resale appeal.
• A flat-bottom sport steering wheel (2PF), aluminum inlays (5MA), and black headlining (6NJ) give the cabin a premium feel that buyers recognize.
• The Bang & Olufsen or Audi Sound System (9VK, 9VD) adds a distinct value bump over the standard setup.
What to look for: Inspect for wear on leather seats and steering wheels; these affect both condition grading and resale value. Verify seat and climate features function properly.
Technology and Infotainment Packages
• The MMI Navigation Plus (7UG) and Virtual Cockpit (9S8) significantly enhance usability and resale desirability.
• Features like Apple CarPlay / Android Auto (8WQ) and Bluetooth with voice control (9ZX) are now expected in modern cars; missing them can reduce appeal.
• Audi Connect and Bang & Olufsen audio are particularly valued in higher trims.
What to look for: Check the MMI system for smooth operation and recent software updates. Buyers value working tech features; non functioning systems can hurt resale.
Exterior Styling and Wheels
• S Line exterior styling (PRU) and Black Package (BPK) improve visual appeal and resale.
• Desirable factory paint colors such as Mythos Black (LY9T), Glacier White (LS9R), and Navarra Blue (LX8X) tend to sell faster than uncommon tones.
• 17-inch or 18-inch alloy wheels (C4X, 8X0 601 025 BE) enhance stance but check for curb rash and matching tires.
What to look for: Avoid aftermarket modifications that can lower value. Original wheels, badges, and trim packages always strengthen resale confidence.
Safety and Driver Assistance
• Assistance packages (PCF) including lane assist, adaptive cruise, and parking sensors increase desirability, especially in urban markets.
• Systems like rear-view camera (KA2) and LED headlights (8IZ) are often differentiators between trims and add real-world convenience.
What to look for: Ensure all sensors and cameras operate correctly; replacement can be expensive and may reduce profit margin at resale.
Documentation and Provenance
• Cars with a complete build sheet, service history, and window sticker generally sell for more.
• Factory originality: including OEM wheels, unmodified suspension, and full equipment functionality helps preserve long term value.
What to look for: Ask for a VIN-based equipment report or dealer build printout. Cross-check options like sound systems, lighting, and upholstery with their factory codes such as 9VK, 8IZ, or N5F.
Audi A1 FAQ
Does the Audi A1 have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?
Yes. Most second-generation Audi A1 models (from 2019 onward) come equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard through the MMI Radio Plus (7UF) or MMI Navigation Plus (7UG) systems. Early first-generation models may require a retrofitted MMI update or interface module. Wireless CarPlay is available on newer trims such as the S Line Competition and Edition One.
What engines are available in the Audi A1?
The Audi A1 has been offered with a range of petrol (TFSI) and diesel (TDI) engines depending on market and year. Popular engines include the 1.0 TFSI (3-cylinder) for efficiency, the 1.5 TFSI (EA211) with cylinder-on-demand for balance, and the 2.0 TFSI (EA888) in performance variants such as the A1 40 TFSI and S1. Earlier models featured the 1.6 TDI for diesel efficiency. Engine codes such as CAXA, CWVA, and DADA can be confirmed on the vehicle data label or VIN build sheet.
How can I find out which options my Audi A1 was built with?
You can identify your Audi A1’s original factory options by checking the vehicle data label (in the spare wheel well or service booklet). This label lists all PR codes, which correspond to features such as seat type, sound system, lighting, and exterior trim. You can also request a build sheet or VIN-based equipment summary from an Audi dealership or through your myAudi account.
Is the Audi A1 reliable and expensive to maintain?
The Audi A1 is generally regarded as one of the most reliable small premium hatchbacks, sharing much of its engineering with the Volkswagen Polo. Routine maintenance costs are moderate, especially for 1.0 and 1.5 TFSI engines, while performance models like the S1 are costlier to service due to more complex components. Regular oil changes, S tronic gearbox servicing, and scheduled inspections every 10,000 to 12,000 miles help maintain long-term reliability.
