Hi Dave,
My A4 is now 5 months old - I ordered the Sat Nav Plus which is DVD based with the two MP3 slots behind the screen. It is the most up to date with the controls under the screen - the new A6 has a similar system but the controls are down beside the handbrake. Unfortunately I don't have a photograph. My system is in my opinion very good and my only complaint has been the lack of TMC activation which is because of a licence issue with Audi UK. I contacted Audi regarding this and received the following response-
