Default a few S4 related VAG-com questions

First, is there a way to adapt the speedometer to match a different rolling diameter tire? Seems like this 'should' be possible as I imagine the ECU uses some sort of pulse count to determine speed.

Second, is there a way to alter the 'curve' of the accelerator vs throttle opening. Again as a drive by wire car (2001) it seems like there should be some sort of way to alter that relationship. Just the 'reset' procedure implies there is some way to change this and I want to change the tip in on mine.

Lastly, I have a 2001 car, someday I might have a newer one (assuming the style ever grows on me) is there any reason besides the price to go with the original VAG package as opposed to the newer one....is there something the old one does on my current car that the newer one can't....this is hard to tell from the web page since I don't own a VAG yet and don't understand the features comparison chart well enough to know what the actual difference is.

TIA
Darren
