How to confirm it on a real car
Audi & VW PR records factory equipment on the options sticker — first page of the service book, and in the boot near the spare-wheel well. Stickers go missing and cars get modified, so the ground truth for any specific VIN is the factory build record: every option code the car was born with, including 1BA if it was ordered.
Was 1BA on your car's original build?
The CarWhere build sheet decodes any Audi/VW VIN into its full factory record — every option code, the original paint, trim and equipment, as built. $9.99, instant.
