Okay, I am getting there!

The two things I want to have in the car is iPod connectivity and bluetooth,

If the car I am looking at is there a system I cn get that integrates into the audi system? Not some parrot thing...

Help appreciated as usual,

Thanks

MK

You can retrofit the OEM bluetooth and iPod connection. but if iPod is important to you then you might be better off fitting the later headunit from an A3 as that has much better ipod functionality.

Update:

Thanks for all of your help and advice (err and bickering)

I am going Avant and although have not had an offer accepted yet, I am getting there slowly.

Can I suggest Scott at Audi Customer Services as a great contact for checking on service history of cars on 0800 699 888

I am sure many have used him in the past, but I can certainly suggest him going forward!

Come on....almost there!

Happy ending? Thats what you get when you tip the lady at the massage place. This sounds like a Shakesperean tragedy to me!

Just take it easy. Whilst it will have no problem pulling away, Quattro doesn't help us stop any quicker. It looks to be a bit clearer out there today, so hopefully you'll be able to have a nice drive home. I wouldn't like to have to pick up any other new car in this weather, I'd rather be in an RS4 than any other car I've ever had.

Oh yeah, I think you are right. The sun is shining on part of it in one picture but not in the other. Also looks like the roof lining / pillar covers are the same colour.

I am having my RNSe upgraded to the 2012 model from an A3 plus the Audi MMI and Audi factory Bluetooth module installed in my RS4 in a couple of weeks. This will give full iphone playlist capability and connection on the screen plus upgraded SD access - well worth it as you can load up 2 x 32gb SD CARDS with MP3's as well as having you iPod/iPhone or portable HD connected. A worthy upgrade IMHO

Yes, but you won't get the RS4 logo on the screen when you start the car!

I need to get a spare key, any advice on this?

I have given up on the dealer trying to sell the above Mugello able car, he is so useless and I have had enough of him.

I have found another car and fallen in Love with it, details to follow

Llooks like the purchase day is going to be this Saturday! So excited.
