Yes, I also posted about this a bit earlier.
I've compared the wiring diagrams of the Euro and US versions of the
'95 A6/S6 models to see what the difference was.

It's not a difference in what parts are used, but in how they
are wired;  it's theoretically possible to take a US-spec 95 A6/S6
and rewire it, and the comfort close will work from the IR remote.

Briefly, this is the theory:

On US-spec cars, these things are wired together:
        1) the switch contact on the door lock switches when the key is
           held in the close position
        2) the input to the central locking module that says that
           the car should lock
        3) the input to the window and sunroof controls that says that
           the windows should go up, the sunroof close.

Further, there is an un-used pin on the central locking module.
This is the "confort close should activate output."   Call this (4).

On some European cars, (3) is detached from (1) and (2) and is connected
to (4).

I can provide more details, but it's long so I am trying to avoid
blasting it to the entire list.
