Default '01 2.7T floor jack/jack stand position?

What are the best jack points (prefferably centerline) under a C5 2.7T? Once I get it raised, what are the recommended positions for putting jack stands under it?

Thanks in advance.

I don't know if the 2.7 is much different than the 4.2 A6. I used the service area to jack up the car (this is the lip in the body line just behind the front tires and infront of the rear tires) and then there is a spot in the sub frame you can see that has a little lip on it where you can put the jack plate. In the rear it looks different I just used the body line and kept the jack stand next to the jack

That's what I've been doing, but I was hoping to find a center spot that allowed me to get both wheels up at once, at least in the front.

personally I would jack one side then use an Axel stand then repeat for the other side that way you can have both wheels of the ground
