RE: 95 Delta GALA feature etc.

[Jeremy R King <kingjer@eng.auburn.edu>]

BMW has a radio level control based solely on speed with no possible 
adjustment.  It works very well.  They also have wipers that switch to a 
delay mode while stopped (eg at a traffic light).  Does Audi do this on 
any of the new cars?
