I'm also dissapointed that cars like the S4 and S5 don't offer this feature. REALLY AUDI?

And for the record, BMW does exactly the same thing. Their entry level cars don't offer this regardless of the fact that they cost upwards of 40k. In Canada, this relatively cheap and simple feature goes such a long way when starting up your car on a cold morning.

None of you have come out and said look at the Audi's quattro system, or the quality behind the leather, or the structure and engineering, look at my car it doesent have any squeaks. You worry about what Kia/Ford/Toyota and so on have to offer. Then dont buy an Audi.

I know I didnt buy my car for the technology it has but I bought it for the timeless styling and technology that works and has been proven over and over again. Maybe they dont have the latest touch screen or the greatest bells and whistles, but wait a year or two when that touchscreen dies and that technology gets old. You want the latest car with the best of the best bells and whistles, guess what? It does not exist, because when you drive it off the lot its already old.

Its just blowing smoke up a consumers you know what to fog the vision of how shitty the quality really is. I had a buddy with an 1997 A4 that went 600 000Km's without issues. He treated it right and the radio still worked. Stop being so demanding and be happy that you are able to keep your family safe in such a wonderful vehicle. Get over the BS they are feeding you of the latest and greatest technology and be happy that it starts day in day out and it doesn't fail. Be grateful for once of what you have and appreciate it rather then the things you do not have.

You complain about your phone not pairing, you shouldn't be driving and talking on the phone anyway enjoy the car and the ride, enjoy your AUDI!
