[A4] New car considerations

[Brian O'Connell]

Very good point on the GPS.  And I'm sure that they
have nice dash mount kits for them by now.  Cheaper
option than built in as well.

I also find that using the stereo through the NAV
screen is more complex that the basic headunit,
especially when driving.
