New B6 Owner here...

Hey guys I just picked up a 2004 1.8 Quattro (black/black) with 32000 Miles for 15k. I just wanted to drop in and say Hi, and I am very excited about my new car.

I previously owned a 2001 A4, then sold it and got a 2003 Acura TL. Acura was great car, but just kinda boring. I feel the excitement back with Audi and looking forward to the coming weeks.

Any heads up I get will be appreciated. First I need to do is get an IPOD interface, from what I am reading Icelink looks like the way to go. Also I am assuming we use Mobil 1 synthetic oil? And premimum gas or mid-grade okay?

Welcome and do yourself a huge favor and read the stickies at the top. Yes on the oil and premium gas. Have fun with your new ride!

Welcome back to the dark side... and damn that is a pretty good price for 32K. Premium gas all the way and the oil is up to you, synthetic is a must.. happy driving and welcome to AZ..

I just got an '03, and my first "mod" was to install the Dice i-Audi-R for my iPod. I have the in-dash Symphony II changer, and the Dice unit works great - in-dash changer still works, too. I also have an XM receiver going to the AUX port in the Dice. Very happy with it.

Enfig. Very easy to install - just slid out the stock radio, swapped some plugs, and ran the wires. Right now the wires are ghetto - sticking out between the radio and the dash trim. I'm going to drop the glovebox this weekend and reroute. I'm also going to add a cigarette adapter from the fusebox and run it behind the dash so that I'll get switched power to the XM receiver without having to use the non-switched cigarette adapter in the dash.

One thing about the Dice - the controls are a little tricky, but I tend to leave my iPod on shuffle and just listen that way. If you're picky about switching between certain albums or artists, I suggest using the "Simple" mode so that you can control your iPod from the iPod itself, and not use the stock changer controls.
