Default Can you guys confirm these differences between A6 years?

Alright, tell me if I've got these right-

1998- first year of new A6 body style, has radio under flip-up wood panel.

1999- new interior options/colors (but basically the same layout as 1998 model). Radio is double-din, exposed. Warm weather package now available (?).

1999.5- gets Symphony radio with CD in dash. Shifting software made more agressive.

2000- gets radio and tiptronic controls on steering wheel (?)

Otherwise everything else on the car is the same (engine-wise, body style-wise, etc)?

I didn't think tip controls showed up on the steering wheel until the 02 model year.

My 98 A6Q has the warm weather package with the solar panel in the sun roof and the motorized rear window shade. I don't know what else was in the package, but it was available

Were the rear heated seats always a separate option or part of cold weather package?

Default minor correction, frequent mis-conception - fender is a PHONE antenna & std. in '98

useless if you don't have the factory phone, wish i had a slick way to ditch it...

My 98 A6Q has the front heated seats and steering wheel but no back seats. Where are the controls for rear heated seats?
