I've got it in my 3.2. When I first got the car, it was great fun to show that feature off to people. Now? I couldn't really care less. I use the thumb wheel to change radio stations 99% of the time, and my most frequently called numbers are in the MMI directory (stupid Verizon BT phone won't sync over, so it's only a few numbers, and I have to manually look the rest up in the phone...voice command doesn't help). About the only voice command I ever give it now is "cancel route guidance" once I get back on a familiar road to home or work. Why? Because there's no thumb wheel solution.

I'm convinced that the only feature I'll really miss from my A6 when I get my S4 in December is the advance key, and then only for the passive entry feature when I'm loaded down with groceries or whatever. Though I'm sure my parents will make comments to avenge my frequent "A key? How quaint." comments when I drive their A6s. At least I can still make a big deal about having to manually turn their headlights and wipers on and off, and how their headlights don't turn corners for me!

The wife test drove it with me today and loves it. If I can pull together the funds, I think I'll have to move on this one...

Now I just have to figure out how to integrate the iPOD or at least get a hardwire connection (could care less if control of iPOD is through MMI or not). I've heard Dension is coming out with one but I don't know if it'll work with 2005's.
