I stand corrected. (but I noticed that you specified "US")


I'm heading off to work, so I don't have time to take a look back myself right now, was it the RS6 (obviously not USA)?


I seem to remember when I was doing research with the S6, that both the diamond stitched seats with the comfort package, and the Flat bottom heated steering wheels: The two big "Deletes" in the S6 when spec'ing it, are more like price justifies for higher models. In other words they CAN ACTUALLY manufacture it that way, there's no like physical restrictions, it was just a marketing choice, to help differentiate the higher models.


So my greater point was that it's not that it's just not possible due to like the way the flat bottom is made, it can't be heated, or with the seats, it's not possible to have the ventilation with the diamond stitching because it restricts cold air flow, etc., so that's why it's not available on the S6. It's simply a marking design and spec'ing choice left for higher models in the Audi line up.

Right, I'm sure it CAN be made it just is not presently. Also not aware what is available in other countries outside US with the custom ordering they can get. Best bet for someone would probably be to custom make/modify one to work.
