Congratualtions!

How are you running the wire from your Ipod to the Aux input?

Are you using a standard cable or a cable/charger?
Detials please

nice car man. Very similar to my moms, just a few differences like the wheels. I like yours better than hers. But why didnt you get chrome? Are you replacing them in the future anyways?

Wow, I see you use the same iPod holder that I do! Congratulations on the new acquisition.

Active cornering headlights, nice!

Thanks all! I love the car so far, though i've only put 66 miles on it yet . So many features! Really dig the active headlights!

LA320OWNER: I'm using the Belkin Auto Charging Cable plugged into the 12v socket in the rear. I run the cable from the Belkin plug to the aux input in the glove compartment. I just tucked the cable under the edge of the center console housing all the way to the glove compartment. Works fine for now, but as you can see I'm using the cupholder to hold the iPod for now.. lol. Others have better setups.

HELL ONA HARLEY: Watch it buddy! I love my Audi! I just moved it over to back the E out of the garage for the photos. Unfortunately, we don't have much parking right now. As far as the door pins, I kinda like the slim style pins (euro?). Not a big deal, really. Just to be different.

extreme4377: I don't do chrome. "Replace DRL bulbs" = I'd like to replace the bulbs in the lamps between the main headlamps so that they closer match the xenon's color.

Thanks all!

Sorry I could'nt resist.... Enjoy your new ride.
I also think the audi will end up staying home a little more these days....

I was sorta confused and then my dad knocked on my door and it was all over. Just thougth I would share lol.

Enjoy your new ride, looks cool and gives the audi a good looking match, nice colours.

The side lights are amber/orange not a real match for the blue-ish white xenons. So i've replaced them like many others here with W5W wedge side bulbs from PIAA. They look white when lit but are a blue bulb and are less bluer than the philips which most would agree are too blue...if that makes sense.

I can't believe you did this to me! Mine arrives in port on Friday so it will be another week or so for me. I am SO anxious and seeing your car equipped similarly in the same colors makes me even more crazy!!! Enjoy!

I think it's a sign you're spending too much time on this forum.

Very nice! Question: how can you tell that it has the "active lights"?

With Active Headlights the projector assembly is recessed. Otherwise it there is a silver/chrome tube sticking a couple of inches out from the back of the headlight assembly.

miamigrrl: Is your car missing the puddle lights, climate controlled center console and the other things mentioned in this forum??? Also, do you know when your car was built?

I re-read that post about the missing items. The little rubber mat that goes in place of the ash tray and puddle lights are gone!

The center console is def. climate controlled, though.

I'll be contacting my salesman on monday!

Build date is Apr 11 04.

I'm going to demand the little rubber mat!! lol!

I'm just going to ask why the puddle lights are gone, and what else might be missing. My husband's '04 E320 has the puddle lights and I think it's a cool little feature.

I'm curious as to why they'd remove these things and the end of the '04 run.

does tunnel mode work on your car? when you press and hold the RECIRC button, do the windows and roof close up?
