Point 5) I’m not sure how much the HUD has changed, but I don’t drive with it during the day as any kind of polarized sunglasses make it almost impossible to see. I don’t believe it does turn by turn if you aren’t using the native Audi guidance, but I’ll double check.

Point 7) check out matte_wagon on IG. He did it on his RS6, can’t speak to any SQs though.

Point 9) I’m running 255/50/19 Michelin X-Ice snows on BBS CI-R (thanks Mops). This obviously discourages you from buying my 21s for a winter setup (lol), but I like the beefier tire. I was out in Vail over thanksgiving when we got some snow, threw the car into Allroad and was cruising down 70. The ride quality vs the 21s is definitely worth the beefier tire in the winter. If I could do it all over again I would have tried to get the factory 20s on the car and used those as a winter setup, then gotten a new aftermarket staggered summer setup.

Hope this helps, I’ll have to cruise down to the springs when you get this in! Got any upgrades planned?
Hey there, thanks for the feedback. Yeah, still undecided on the wheels, but looking hard at the aftermarket with Mops' help. He turned me on to BC Forged and I like the 295 tire size. I want to run dedicated winters here in Colorado, so may just find a set and slap them on my factory 21's, then wait until late Spring to pick up the aftermarket set. Your experience with the 19s does have me re-thinking that a bit. I was at one point looking for factory 20's as well. Opens up a lot more tire options.

As for the HUD, had the same experience with my polarized sunglasses, but liked using the HUD so much I stopped wearing polarized and opted for the Oakley Prize lenses which work pretty good. Never really used on-board nav too much as I always opted for using my cell phone for nav. With the virtual cockpit, I may end up using more often to take advantage of it.

Right now no major upgrades planned other than the wheels. If I don't get the hitch I'll probably do a full rooftop setup with bike racks...not ideal as I already own a 4-bike hitch rack. Was looking at the Cete module, but not sure if I want to go down that route. Then the APR tuning. Before I know it I'll be in the upgrade black hole being sucked into more and more mods. I went down this road on my first two A4s and a Jeep Wrangler.

I'll keep you and everyone posted on when I get it home. If you head this way at that time let me know and we'll connect somewhere in town.
