Great web site, great info. Its because of all the knowledge of the owners that I am addicted to this site. Thanks. <p>My question is: Before I pickup my new A4, what should I have the dealer do to the car. i.e. what do you wish you had the dealer do before they delviered it? <p>1. I want to make sure they dont put their dealership name sticker on the bumper of course. <p>2. I also need to know how the remote (fob?) works factory default. In other words what can it do, and what should I have it programmed to?<p>Anything else you can think of would be helpful.<p>99.0 A4 2.8Q<br>Volcano Black<br>Onyx Leatherette seats (thanks to the archives for ALL the advice on this one)<br>Manual trans<br>Sport Steering wheel<br>Convenience pkge<br>Bose system<p>I thought about canceling and waiting for the 99.5. How can they start a mid year change, even before 1999. Seems odd to have a two month production run for a new year model. <p>Anyway, as soon as it gets here, I'll register it here.<p>I have gained a ton of info from just browsing the Forum. Audi Info Overload!

Mine is scheduled to arrive today. I've asked them not to mount the front license plate bracket and to not wax it. I'll glaze and wax it when I get it home.

... also make certain they dont bolt on a front-plate bracket if your state doesn't require one. It really screws up the front bumper.<p>Also, check for scratches and shipping residue. My dealer left some of the glue that held the shipping plastic sheeting on the front quarter panels. It's not a big deal, and eventually washed off using rubbing alcohol, but the car ought to be pristine upon delivery.<p>Make sure you get two remote fobs, also.<p>Have fun.

Check to make sure they put in all the accessories, the cargo net, 2 CD disc packs for<br>your Bose CD changer, etc.

Thanks for all the info, I will make sure all of these are included.<p>One more question, though. What is the default setting for the remote.<br>What functionality does it come with, ie. window. locks, trunk open/close???

What year/model car was that? I only got 1 with my 98.5 A4 2.8qts<p>I'm also missing front mounting brackets come to think of it now<br>

Tell 'em quick or your front bumper gets the drill treatment!<p>Also, I wouldn't reprogram a thing until you drive awhile ...<br>

who's in charge?

I believe that you only get ONE CD Magazine and the cargo net is only standard on the AVANT. Now, YOUR dealer may have included these extra items by mistake, or intention.<p>Kirk
