Any idea if the RNS-E Nav system is compatible with a 2000 A6 4.2?

Also, any other important observations/ things that I should be aware of??

until I read the part about the color mismatch. I hadn't thought about that at all...it would look ugly with a color difference...

and is certainly not a reason to decide against it. If you take a flash picture of the color difference, it will look 10X worse than just looking with your naked eye. Can you tell it is different... sure. But it is no big deal, honest.

Besides, you can just find a climate control on ebay, or used somewhere else if it bothers you that much. Small cost compared to the whole package.

On that website A6Fanboi posted, someone figured out how to match the RNS-E to the older color scheme using a shoe polish sponge.
