I’ve recently joined the Audi crew with a B9 S4 Avant. I’m really enjoying it so far.

Has anybody had any joy with coding features and changing bits and bobs on recent models? There’s a couple of things I’ve been looking at and am thinking about getting the necessary cables/software but not sure where to start really.

I'm starting to have a look at getting a new car and the S5 keeps catching my eye.
I'm looking for a 2-3 year old model. What are the "must have" features/packs/options?

Put a deposit down on a new S5 sportback on Sunday.
Keep changing my mind on the colour. Need to decide and quick!
Originally ordered it Missano red, then changed it to Mythos black. Now I’m think Daytona grey looks the best. Arghhhhh

That’s what I’m thinking. My 135i is black and looks amazing for 5 mins after it’s clean.

I’ve got mythos black and while it does look good when clean, it doesn’t stay that way and it really does show swirl marks. In fact, that reminds me I need to find a decent local detailer.
The daytona makes the car look pretty boring and doesn’t really pop so out of those choices, if you discount black due to upkeep, I’d go missano red.

Good to know, I picked Mythos black over the normal black as I thought it would hide any swirls. My original gut choice was Misano red, think I need to go with my gut.

Navarra!
The problem with Daytona (I've had two in this colour) is it's too common now. It's been the "go to" S-Line colour for years now and it's everywhere.

My A6 in Misano Red. IMO it's a great colour as long as you don't mind standing out and somewhat drawing attention to yourself because it definitely draws the eye amongst the sea of black, white and grey we see on the roads.
My recommendations would be to spec black styling (it contrasts really nicely with the red) and a sunroof (to break up the redness on the roof) if you can, though that may be a little overkill.

+1. Navarra is a gorgeous colour for an "S" model.
Looks like doom blue, disadvantages of black without the benefits of a lighter blue.

Doesn't appear to be that way after 15 months of ownership. It's not a swirl-magnet, neither is it as dark as it appears in different light levels.
You've patently never seen it in the flesh.
Ara was too bright for me personally but, more than that, it's also getting very common very quickly. Seems to be the new Sepang and I'm constantly seeing S3s in it. Navarra is deeper, more discrete but really comes alive in good light.
