Regarding the shuffling question though. From what I know, the iPod shuffle's songs when you hit the "shuffle" button. it doesn't shuffle songs every time you switch to a new track. So this way, when you cycle through tracks, it remains in the order it was shuffled. If you want it to shuffle again, gotta hit the shuffle button again.
The iPod interface shouldn't have anything to do with how it shuffles tracks.

Anyone in here use the Ipod interface in their Audis? I have my music on "shuffle" normally when I listen to my Ipod. The interface in the Audi doesn't seem to shuffle it though, and plays songs sequentially. Is there a way to get it to recognize that the Ipod settings are on "shuffle"?
And no, I haven't had time to read the manual yet

The local Audi shop near me, the owner has a black rs4, and it is just sick. Looks just like yours.

We actually took a test drive ourselves a few weeks ago and came away very impressed by the new A4. Our salesman wasn't afraid to show us the capability of the car by doing some hard braking on a half road, half gravel surfaces, swerving to show us the handling and pushing the car on on and off ramps to demonstrate the Quattro system. Of course, she handled herself like a champ.What to say about the silly turning radius; we came away impressed for sure. Audi has definitely closed the gap between the A4 and the 3-series.

BTW, nice B8!
Can't wait to lower mine!
from the outside looks like it got scorched, but I don't know how 
gonna have to have the clear bra removed and hope that the paint isn't damaged. I'm in the middle of detailing mine so many swirls!
IMO clear bras are too noticeable, wax lines, air bubbles, lines... Maybe I've only seen ugly ones, but if I were you I'd remove it and leave it off...

It is a shitty day and though I just washed it, I didn't bother drying it very well because it's about to rain again.

Both headlights have the condensation issue
I haven't taken them out to do the o-ring mod yet.
I'm also going to Plasti-dip the grilles so I thought I'd so it all at once. If the rain ever stops ...

I have the Navi package so I am not sure if the interface is different from the non-navi models.

Ok I think I figured it out last night. From the MMI Screen select [all], then all the songs in your ipod should be listed. Change the display interface by pressing [control], you should now have the circular interface. At the five o'clock position there is the option [mix]. Selecting mix will randomly play all tracks in your ipod.

mmmmmm....
Viking, Are you leasing your A5? if so, how much are you paying?
reason I ask because I know crap load people comes to audi to lease A5/S5, but they always ended up walking out of the dealer with empty hand. People were amazed how expensive it is to lease A5/S5.... We even recommend customers to purchase the car than leasing. Far as I know, with $3000 down, people still be paying around $8-900 a month w/o tax.
One of the biggest reason why you don't see too many A5/S5 out on the road.

Thanks guys! I 
this car.
No I didn't lease, I financed it. Yeah, I did hear the lease price was out of control. I ordered it in May'08 and got it in Sept'08 so there was a wait, probably driving up the lease price.
No kidding, wouldn't dream of parking it in the city.

I didn't notice it till I got home, but the letters are shifted to the left so it appears as though it's not perfectly centered.

Update + Pictures
I have cleared and blacked out the headlights, blacked out the grill using Plasti-dip, filler plate, wrapped the rear trunk trim in black vinyl, and debadged the trunk.
And a detail, oh, and had the wheels powder coated gunmetal.
Like, no like?
Some pictures look funny, trying to improve my post processing skills.

^ Its stock grey, just looks bright when in direct sunlight.
And I won't tint the tail lights, I like the red contrast. IMO, tinting tails look better on lighter color cars.
