What Optional Extra's did you get?

Post by P_G » Thu Aug 05, 2010 11:12 am

I was just having a read of the RS4 brochure and price list last night to see how much my car actually cost (nosey like that) and was amazed by the array of what you could get.

So I thought I would start a thread to see what options everyone else got.

On my RS4 as far as I can tell mine was specced with;

Technology Pack (nav-DVD with CD, adaptive Xenons)
Bluetooth BT dash mounted phone prep
Lighting Pack
Coming home pack
Heated rear outer seats
Luggage Pack

What I can't work out is if Sprint Blue was a £500 cost option or NCO?

So what toys have others got on there cars when they get bored of the fabulous V8 up front? :bash: :beerchug:

Tech Pack
TV reception
Ipod connection (added when purchased car, no use CD player)

Sprint Blue was a standard colour, so im guessing it will be no charge.
Money can't buy you love, but it can buy you a well sorted racecar

On my Avant I went for:

Symphony radio
6 CD changer
Adaptive lights
Autio dim rear view mirror
Auto recirc air con
Electric sunroof

I went for Phantom Black with silver seats and silver roof lining - so it's a long way away from the common Audi "black hole of Calcutta" look.

I didn't go for the Technology Pack as I had an RNS-E sitting around at home, and I also had the Audi BT module, so I retrofitted them myself.

I would have liked the ceramic brakes but they weren't available on the Avant then.

I was given a cargo net and a full tank of fuel on collection, and the wife got a lovely bunch of flowers.

As far as I can tell mine came with -

RNS-E (possibly via Tech Pack)
Adaptive Lights
Coming Home Lights
DRLs
Lighting Pack
Auto-dim RVM
CD Changer in Glovebox
Armrest
Glass Sun-roof (which I really like)
Luggage strap/cargo net but I think this is standard in an Avant ?

After purchase I fitted the Audi BT kit, cool box & iPod connector (in-place of the CDC)

That reminds me...

I knew I'd forgotten something - I went for the (free, and almost totally unused) armrest, and retrofitted the cool glove box too.

Dave - If you don't mind me asking how difficult / expensive was retrofitting the cool glove box? Definately interested in doing this myself.

Cheers Paul

There's two ways, both easy - just add the cool air vent into the standard glove box, or add the inner compartment as well. I went for the inner compartment as well.

The parts came from Southampton Audi (great parts guys, but weak service guys):
8E2 816 311 air hose £4.67 + VAT
8E0 820 701 4PK air outlet £12.38 + VAT

Plus if you add the cool box insert:
8E2 862 807 A 6PS cool box insert £58.89 + VAT
8E0 947 415 light £5.60 + VAT
N 909 365 01 screw 3 off £0.63 + VAT
N 017 752 2 bulb £0.47 + VAT

If you just do the outlet it's a case of drop the glove box, push out the removable section wwhere the outlet goes, pull out the bung in the side of the HVAC and throw it away, fit the hose, refit the glove box and screw on the outlet.

If you fit the insert then you have to cut a new rectangular hole for the glove box light , but it's only thin plastic so it's easy enough.

I used the hose & the insert but found it was a good fit without the screws & I re-located the existing light rather than fitted a new one - is a very straightforward job - if you have a CDC you will need the keys to remove it as one of the bolts that holds the GB in is behind the CDC.

I have also added the cupholders to the (also almost entirely unused) armrest.
