New (to me) A6 - questions

My wife and I drove down from Madison, Wisconsin to Denver, Colorado last
weekend to pick up a new car - a 1995 A6q with the 5 speed transmission.  We
had been looking for this car for several months.  I have a few questions
that I have not been able to answer in the archives:

(1)	Are the lights on these cars relayed, or is there still full current
running through the column stalks?  We would like to put higher wattage
bulbs in, but don't want to burn anything out.  
(2)	I believe that the fog lights are relayed - is this true?
(3)	The owners manual indicates that the passenger mirror should tilt
down when the tranny is put in reverse (and the right mirror selector button
is in).  Mine doesn't - Is this something that only certain cars got (maybe
the ones with seat/mirror memory), or can I turn this feature on once I
build my VAG-COM setup?
(4)	The car has the Gamma radio/cassette player.  What were the other
stock stereo options?  Are they plug and play replaceable?  (I thought I
read somewhere that the high end cassette deck/CD changer needed amplified
rear speakers and was not a direct swap)

That's all for now, thanks for your help.  If anyone has the electronic
Bentley for this vehicle (92-97 100/A6), please contact me off-list.
