Default Yes!

The exterior changes are pretty minor, but good. Actually I'd much prefer that the Germans did not tinker with the looks of the car every couple of years, but I guess Audi felt it necessary to respond to the improvements in the E46 BMW. In the case of the A4, they have changed the taillights twice now with no apparent gain in looks. I do like the separate fog lights under the bumper, and the wider sidestrip is better. I think the revised center console is the biggest cosmetic improvement. Hopefully in-dash CD will be available soon.<br>

Does the 99.5 have a trunk release inside the car? Using the remote sucks
