Oo. That's nice. We have that for the X5, but not on the little 2. The 2 gets the short end on a number of luxo features. No HUD, for instance.

At least it has the heated steering wheel and front seats...

There were a few reasons why I ultimately decided to pull the trigger on the executive pkg: Adaptive LED lights with updated design/look, heated wheel, heated rear seats, leather interior, HUD. Other things I didn't want but came with it are surround cameras, automatic high beams, and some other park assist stuff.

I sure hope heated steering wheel technology has improved in the past 10 years. My A6 had it, and it failed within the first 9 months of ownership. The failure resulted in a burn mark on my left hand which still exists.

Audi would not replace my steering wheel Apparently the "technology" was a metal band around the wheel, under the leather wrap that failed.

Yikes! When was your A6 built?

That was a 2000s Audi issue. As far as I can tell, no one else had that problem.

I can’t believe they wouldn’t replace it - that seems pretty obvious, if it’s not working it needs to be replaced.

That’s crazy, yes I guess the technology has gotten better we have it in 2 of our Audi’s as well as the Porsche and bmw and there are no burning issues.

The technical innovation was turning the heat down.
