Being a fellow TT owner, I think that the Red is very similar to the Audi Red. It's probably a little darker. I've not had any trouble reading the display except in direct sunlight, where it is impossible to read (and this has been well hashed). Bagpuss, do you have a Coupe or Drop Top? Cheers, Paul.
