Which modifications to the upgrade process can I nix from the list for an 04 install?

All 2002+ A6 installs are basically the same but without knowing what's on your list it's hard to say what you can skip or what you are missing.

I read the whole 2001 AR install and it seemed much less than plug and play.

So for an O4 AR;
1. Remove Symphony II
2. Insert connectors/adaptors
3. Adapt for speedo data to the head unit. (removing the cluster?)
4. GET yelled at from my CFO (wife) for spending $1500
5 Drink a beer and watch a DVD.

This seem right?

That's the same in the 2004 AR and sound about right.

...just make sure your rnse harness is setup correctly.

also,
1) adding the upgraded sirius/xm module is plug/play in the trunk
2) your ar will have the MF steering wheel....and the integration with the oem BT module is "bad ***".

If you have the oem nav option in your car, you can easly tap into gala/speed and reverse signal in the trunk and not have to pull the cluster or kick panel trim.

...the hard part...is finding a unit for the C5. The are in high demand...and in short supply.

install was easy with the right harness. I did the RNS-E and XM module in about 3 hours.
