Default Can someone explain this light on the dashboard

Guys seriously whats that light on my dashboard?

I asked audi dealership..and they didnt know either..it appears and disappears without a reason. It looks like an antenna or something. Maybe it has to do with the radio????

Here is a picture of it!

"Dash panel insert - as of Model Year 2000
Radio clock
Note:

Aerial symbol at top left of clock display indicates that vehicle is fitted with radio clock.

Radio clock is integrated into dash panel insert and is not available as a separate replacement part.

‒ If radio clock is defective, dash panel insert must be replaced
=>Page 90-28."

can anyone confirm that???
Whats a radio controlled clock anyway! lol and why it messes with my brain!

Let me ask this - if you were to unplug your battery, would you have to reset your clock in the instrument cluster manually? My guess is this "radio clock" uses a signal from the radio to set the time on the instrument cluster.

Why exactly does it suck? Its the same cluster with KM instead of MPH and a different fuel gauge.

the US cluster says unleaded fuel only like you are stupid or something!!! and if I take out my battery I have to set my clock...well I could try leaving it like that...to see if its going to sync!!!

I will keep you updated guys.... today that symbol was on....but 2 days ago it wasnt... the mystery must be solved!
