I moved from a 2008 D3 to a 2011 D4 and I agree with these comments. Overall, I like the D4 now but it took a while.

My bet is that a simple phone call to any Audi parts desk can get you a quick answer using your VIN. I replaced my center console last year and my dealer's parts guy only needed my VIN to source the...
