Default Traded into a Q5 today from A5! Stoked!

Traded out of a 2009 loaded DSB A5 today at the local Audi dealer to a 2009 Q5 with 15k miles on it. Specs:
Quartz Grey
Sline
Prestige
B&O sound
Nav
Keyless
20" wheels

Seems like a beauty and I'm excited to finish the paperwork and bring her home earlier this week. With our first little one on the way, we decided the coupe would no longer cut it.

Anything I should know about this baby compared to the A5?

I never bothered with Vag Com with the A... Is that a must? Any other common upgrades/mods?

Lastly, i bought a bluetooth audio adapter that I was using with the A5 to stream music wirelessly from the iPad. I had the prior MMI in that car though (the nav without the 3D etc). Will it work on the new car?

Thanks all!

Picked it up tonight. Awesome car. Handles much like my A5 did, but feels more solid on the road. Love it, love the roof, and love the extra space!

Great choice, congrats!
For Vag Com mods I'd suggest at least eliminating the DRL "wink", activating convenience entry windows and "gauge sweep"
Also possible: DVD in motion, lap timer displayed in center display, key proximity warning, ambient lighting level adjustment
These have been discussed a number of times on the forum and detailed instructions can be found when doing a search
