Default Bought a used 06 Audi A4 2.OT Questions?

I traded in my TC i had all worked up was time for a new car since i can remember ive always wanted an A4 love the audi body styles and classy yet sport lines of the car. So i went to Auto Mall over here in Vegas and bought a Audi from VW dealership that was right next to an Audi Dealership that the same owner owns. Anyhow I got a Gray Audi A4 2006 for little under 23k which was much lower then most places i looked at about 22k miles on it. So being that it was few thousand dollars lower then some other places i asked for a Carfax report and it came back clean. So i went with it payments were about the same as my TC plus they gave me a great resale on my TC anyhow i love this car night and day different from my little scion alot of power and options are a big plus. Ive had it for a week now and one problem i have found is that when i come to a brake and slight touch the breaks on a roll they make a noise, so i brought it in being that i just bought it i want to make sure it was ok they checked it and said the breaks are 95% new and i asked them why does it make a noise they said sometimes those breaks will make noises and its nothing u can do about it. I felt that couldnt be true so my question is do these breaks make noises when u slightly hold the brake down on a rolling stop? Is there anyway to fix it or should i have another place check them out just to be sure?


Another question i saw that the A4 that i have has regular headlights not the HID or Xexon lights that some other competor cars like BMW or Benz has is that normal? or should i have had those kind of lights Im new to this car so wasnt sure. If i can install some of them how much will it run me and how difficult is it?


Last question , I also notice a Sat radio option on my stereo interface but wasnt sure how to go about it to installing sirius or xm?


I thank everyone in advance for helping ....btw as i said before love this car being german glad i finally bought me a german car Audi always been one of my favorite cars finally got one.

A4's have big and sometimes noisy brakes. You will probably also see quite a bit of brake dust all common.

The normal headlights came on mine as well. There are aftermarket HID kits just do a search for prices. There are many DIY's for the conversion.

The Sat option should be on the stock radio just needs to be activated... the dealer should be able to do that or someone with a vag-com.

I've heard ceramic pads will cut down on noise and dust
