So did you find a hack for it? I think it would be a great Christmas gift for my boss.

To be honest, I havent looked. It allows you to enter a stored address while driving and I just enter the other addresses while waiting for the car to warm up. If I get an address I need to be at while I'm driving (happened once so far), I just pulled over. It was a bit of a pain in the arse, however.

IIRC those hacks are fairly simple but they require removing the head unit and getting behind it to plug something in. IF that operation is easy, it's cheap...if not, it could run $$$. I've taken the head unit out of my Avalanche @ 85mph on the 15.

Again, it's because a manual B7 S4 Avant is almost impossible to find.
It will probably go for close to what the guy wants.
Remember the VW R32? The dealers couldn't give them away new. And now look at the second hand market.
Or even the VW bus from the 90's, crazy resale again because of how rare it is.

Nope, I bought a slightly used 08 last year and paid 45K for one.
Sticker was 58K.
I am keeping this for a while. Kind of like the slightly used R32 owners who have been driving their cars for basically free the first few years due to lack of depreciation.
It's faster than the 335, about as fast as E46 M3.
But it feels dog slow when comparing to the GT2.

^ Good power band though, right? The limited seat time in the E46 M3 convinced me that it was great at speed, where you could admire its dynamic capabilities. The 335's power band feels superior for its flexibility however. Still, rotating the rear a tad as you sweep through 2nd gear in an M3 is pretty fun. It just feels so . . . easy.

comparing the 0-62 times,it is about as quick as the 335
but who cars about the numbers...
it`s about what you feel and what you like
the only downside is that you can`t mod the S4 V8 as easy as the 335...
