Hi Dan,

Being limited to only Lava Grey certainly does not sound right. There are some limitations when it comes to interior colour combo's and packages but not on the exterior colour. Definitely...

Xylon coating - this is not an "Audi" product but probably a third party service provider to the dealership you are purchasing the car from.

I joined the 'me too' gang

After seeing what others have done with their brake callipers, decided to try this also.

Now I don't have those big SQ5 callipers that are worth drawing attention to, so I did not want to go over...

For MP3 at least, set 320kbs for the quality, not 192. This will require re- ripping your CD's from scratch. File size will be larger but audio quality will be a lot better. I believe AAC at 256 is...

Came standard with both my 2009 and 2012 Q5's. I have never used them once although I would not sell it, might come in useful one day. Plus, might get hit on trade in if it is not with the car.
