For 3 seconds of entertainment, pop your trunk while looking at the backup screen

I just learned that the mirror can tilt down in reverse, after someone mentioned it on the Heated Mirrors thread. Lo and behold it is indeed explained in the manual. Put the car in reverse, adjust the Passenger side mirror down so you can see the curb, and it will save that mirror setting for Reverse gear everytime afterwards. I was disappointed not to have this feature since I had it in my BMW but turns out this system's actually even better, fully adjustable!

Yes! I thought I was the only one that did that. I may or may not have showed my sister that cause I thought it was funny.

I have a 2012/2013 Owners Manual and MMI book that I can pass on to someone that doesn't want to wait till their car arrives.

I got AofA to order me one and send it to my dealership. No cost.

Thanks Dan, I got the package today.

Audi does a great job with their manuals. There's a lot more detail than I've seen in other manuals. I hope to never have to know the tightening sequence inside the transmission. I did find it interesting that there are three types of front brakes for the A6/S6. I'll have to take a picture of a US A6 Vehicle Data Label to see what Audi has sent over.

Thanks again!

Glad you got it. That was the only box I had that could hold the manual.
Enjoy and please do pass it on to someone else once your ride arrives.

Thanks for this tip! I'll do this today. I was bummed too as my 535 used to do this as well.
