I'm in the market for a 2017/18 TTRS and there's a few out there I've seen but I'm a little confused...

Am I right in thinking that whilst keyless start is standard, keyless entry is part of an option pack (that I think also contains the B&O, rear view camera and auto hold)? Or, is keyless always the complete package and it's standard on the TTRS?

Just trying to work out what's going to be cars worth going to see and which aren't from the spec sheet.

Ta in advance.

Thanks for that - I knew it was an option that's part of a pack (didn't remember the name mind, cheers), but it seems that ALL of the mk3 TTRS' have a stop/start button on the steering wheel, meaning (unless I'm mistaken) they have got keyless start but it's still got keyless entry listed as an extra. Was just wondering if it was an error by audi that an option was listed as part of the comfort and sound pack when it is already on there or whether keyless entry was a different thing on them to keyless start (probably because of the R8 style steering wheel).

If it’s a main dealer listing the options then I’d be wary as they do get descriptions wrong and even miss off options.
I know on the bigger models they used to have a separate option for keyless entry / engine start button.
It would explain the fact all TTRS come with a steering wheel start button and you can have the keyless entry as the option, but the car still starts without the physical key turning.

Keyless start is standard access all TT models including the TTRS. Keyless entry is currently pack of the Comfort and Sound Pack but Audi have reduced the number of options and combined others into packs for new cars in response to the new WLTP regulations.

Previously it was possible to spec many more items individually rather than opt for Packs so worth checking rather than assuming it’s going to be on the car if it’s also got the other elements

If your trying to narrow down the most important options I recommend those with a reversing camera (rear visibility is quite limited and a good addition to the sensors), sports exhaust, b&o sound system - much better than the standard Audi kit.

For me Keyless entry is a bit of a gimmick and if I could would turn off given the additional security risks
 
After all the replies and in answer to my own question - yes they are separate lol.

Test drove (and bought) a 2018 one today!

It doesn't have keyless entry, but does have keyless start.
