'05 Nav unit now also plays MP3s.
A software upgrade is available from the dealer or from the forum members which you can load yourself right here.
It is easy to do

I am sure that '07 owners will thank the brave souls presently doing the testing on the A6.

How many members have posted complaints about its performance (Not if they like those silly paddles), but actual function and performance? Three maybe?

OK... I have an 05 A4 3:15 , F55 setup and could not be happier. I'm not sure what all the fuss is about regarding the 05 auto tranny.
Well I could be happier if the car was a Z06....... I'm waiting till 07' for that little purchase
NCM is a must on any new purchase.......
