    What's the one option you wish you had?

    Edit: Oops, meant to post this in the C7 section. I blame having a C6 and a C7 for my confusion... But while my content is about the C7 the question is still relevant to the C6. :)

    I'm a chronic researcher, I like to know as much as I can about something and then make the right decision. So when looking for a S6 used, I had a must have list. I was open to many exterior colors but it had to have: black headliner (the fact this wasn't standard is appalling), LED headlights (pretty much the sexiest headlights in town, esp in 2013), 20" wheels (imo the 19's are ugly), no comfort seats (gotta have that diamond stitch), no wood trim (duh). With the right car I could have been flexible on this one, but driver assist pkg seemed like tech this car should have.

    B&O would def be cool, but I'm happy with the 600 watt bose.

    Innovation package was awesome, but I could live without night vision, HUD and top/corner view cameras. #because v8twinturbo

    But damn I find myself wishing I had the front camera when parking so I don't smash up my bumper. Especially when you're lowered. And the real kicker is, in 2014 the front/top/corner cameras came with driver assist pkg which I have. But, in the end, the best part about the S6 is it has this pedal on the right that tends to put your worries behind you.

    For the c6 I wished we had cooled seats. My 05 rl had it and that's one feature I missed the most.

    Radar cruise control. Or the bigger motor. Either one would make me a happy camper. :)

    I would also like to have my seats cooled. Also, I wish that the heated steering wheel would get hot instead of just warm.. ;-)

    I thought home link was a standard option on all trim levels and years of the C6. So you don't have the 3 buttons on the roof console?

    As for me; I would have liked the smart key setup and push button start. But in all truthfulness, there is not any single option that I don't have that I cant live without.

    Top: The ability to keep current on software/firmware updates without going to the dealer.
    Runner up: Transponder keys. I have this option with my 08 Highlander and love it.

    One thing, bluetooth audio. I brought my 10' used with all the bells and whistles... I needed and to find out in 2010 there was no bluetooth audio streaming... without a 3rd party mmi plug or some tricky vagcom tweaks was a let done. Otherwise I'm good.

    Doesn't help though anytime I bring her to the shop and the put me in a 2015 or 16 A6 with the hot spot and bluetooth audio native....ugggg lol. They know I am going want to upgrade. Tricksters

    I'm simple. Give me a straightforward way to use Spotify in the car.

    Unfortunately not:/ I have the buttons for the lights, and that glasses thing.

    Bluetooth audio. A close second would be parking sensors.

    Homelink for my garage doors and Bluetooth for my audio. I think driving this used A6 is only helping me establish my list of new options that'll have on my new Audi (a few years away).
    2006 Audi A6 3.2L Quattro (Oyster Gray), my first and most definitely not my last.

    For all that want blue tooth audio and the ability to stream Pandora, Spotify, etc; it you have the AMI interface (30 pin iPod plug in the glove box), buy yourself the Tune2Air unit. Then you can stream from your phone through the MMI and have complete control.

    1. Sport seats. Not sure if they were available for the C6 but I find I slide around too much.
    2. Heads up display.
    3. Cooled/ventilated seats.
