The 07's get, imo, crappy under seat bins. The 06's have awesome huge pull out bins under the seats.
There are now silver highlights on the ESP button and the other faux buttons in the center console.
The shark fin is different too. The 06 is painted, the 07 is black and smaller.

My 07 shark fin is painted [confused]
I didn't know about the underseat bins being different though... I wish they were bigger.

What's different about the soundsystem?
06 has the same Symphony II that's been in use since the original B6.
07 has the new Symphony II+ (no tape deck).

Hmm.. Maybe it was painted, but the one I saw on an 07 was a lot smaller than the one on my 06.
For the guy who didn't know, I'm talking about the antenna on top of the car.

If I'm not mistaken, the 06 has the capability of scrolling through the presets using the wheel control and the 07 does not. At least thats what I gather from a few of the recent threads.

^^^^^^^
correct
the 07 and 08 have a dead left wheel on the steering wheel... well, it works, but it's useless, thus dead IMO... When you scroll up, it seeks down. When you scroll down, it seeks up. AND when you push it, it seeks up. Completely useless. I am waiting for some VAG fix. I can't believe that Audi let this get through quality assurance... works like it would on a KIA...

Surely you are mistaken good sir!
Even Kia couldn't mess that up these days [;)] I'd start looking for a Chinese car brand to compare it to :D

My 2007 has one, I assume it's because mine came factory equipped with Sat Nav. I don't know if the non RNS-E cars come with them though.

I was told by my dealer (in the States) that my 2k7 B7 stereo does not support MP3 CDs, the new 2k8 B7s radio does.
Do the radio's say MP3 on them if they support it? Mine does not say MP3 anywhere.

Is thqt the same shifter ball as the 06, or is that the shifter ball for the Euro market?
In the US we get the very nice very round sphere, and we get dual cupholders in the center console, under the armrest for the second one.
The cigarette lighter is in the ash tray bin also.
It looks like the Euro model has the older B6 center console.
Also, you say you don't have the S-line, in the states in 06 at least, the S-line gives us the brushed aluminum trim (compared to the dimpled alum. trim in non S models). It seems the brushed aluminum is standard in the Euro market?
1: This is indeed the standard shifterball here and it' UGLY!!!
This pic was taken the first day i've got him,now i'm running the s-line shifter and the RS4 handbrake hendel;both are perforated leather

2=i got 1 cupholder on the passengerside,the other thing is a little thing that flips out to put change or credit cards in
Underneith the armrest i got a place to putt my sunglassesbox in,so no cupholder there
And the sigaretlighter doesn't flip down like he did in my B6 (stupid but yeah)
the brushed alu is the standard trim u get when you order a B7 here in belgium
