is the Cold pkg worth having?
Hi Guys,
I am about to buy a 2012 A6 prestige with LED lights and side assist, and I am going back and forth whether to get the cold package or not. I live in IL and it's pretty cold but the prestige come with heated front seats.
Is anybody with the cold pakg can tell me about his experience.
thank you so much

I got the cold weather package in order to get the heated rear seats for my kids. I always felt bad that I get to warm my buns on cold winter mornings while they shiver in the back...
I guess if you're not gonna have back seat passengers too often this may not be necessary. I haven't had a chance to experience the heated steering wheel yet, but I have heard that this is one of those conveniences that once you've experienced you can't imagine not having.

I have a '10 that I did not get the cold weather pkg with, primarily because I liked the sport steering wheel which you could not get combined w/ heat on the C6 A6's.
I understand that in the C7 models, you can now get both heat and the sport pkg steering wheel. Not sure if you're considering getting a sport pkg, but regardless for $450 I'd say definitely get the cold weather pkg - there were several days this past winter that I would've loved to have had a heated steering wheel (not to mention the heated rear seats for the kids/passengers).

cold package owners
can you share your experience with the cold package.
is it worth it? beside the steering wheel and the back seat is the front seat heated seat with the cold pk any different from those that come with the premium plus and prestige?

I had the cold package on my '08 A6, now have Prestige on my 2012 so I have heated seats but not the heated steering. IMO the heated steering is a waste, if its that cold you have gloves on anyway.

If you're asking whether there is any difference between the front heated seats with/without the cold weather package, I don't think there is. The package just adds the heated rear seats and the heated steering wheel.
