Did that make a SWB in 2005? I though all 2004's and 2005's were LWB, it just doesn't say "L" on the older ones.

I'm pretty sure it is the shorter wheelbase version. Just by looking at the side pictures doesn't indicate that the rear passenger cabin is that much longer to me.

4th paragraph in this review article confirms it:

I paid in the low $20Ks.

2004 was only LWB, no smart key function either. 2005 added SWB and smart key a an option.

hey man whats up? i've read your write up on the installation and modification of the s6 led lights. great read. so they basically take the place of your fog lights? they're controlled the same way too? also you feel like they're bright enough to function as fog lights? thanks for posting the pics. awesome!

Hey guys I have a 05 Audi A6. I'm on version 10.7 on my mmi. Everytime i bring the car into the dealer about my mmi they tell me The problem has to occuer when the vehicle is there (which unfortunately it never does). I noticed you got the discs to do the upgrade yourself and have done enough research to feel comfortable doing it myself. With that being said where can I purchase the update disc's. It look's like you may have borrowed someones. Im assuming there is a place to purchase them or even a download. I have searched and couldnt find it so I thought I'd ask. Thanks guys, and sweet A8.
