USA Today Article on A6 fire in the dash more....
Read an article in USA Today this morning about 22 reported fires eminating from the dash of 2000 A6's and I believe 11 1999 models. Says Audi is working on finding the problem.
Being new to the board has this issue ever been discussed before? Didn't know if everyone knew about this or it's a new concern.

I think it's because people are mistaking the change tray for an ashtray. Audi will need to....
... move them farther apart. But first, they will bungle the media relations and tarnish the brand for a decade. Bring on the PhA8ton!
