I am new the Audi world, but will be ordering an A4 or A5 here in the next few weeks...but I have a question.

On a 2011 A4 or A5, is the only way you get color (other than the orange/red LCD) driver info disply is to get the navigation package?

I could have swore that I sat in an A4 Avant w/o nav and it had the color display which matches nicely with the colors of the MMI display, but the 2011A4 sedan (Premium Plus package) I drove the other day had the orange/red display (car did not have Navigation).

I thne drive a Q5 and A5, both with Navigation and they had the color driver info display between the speedo and tach. The sales guy was not aware and said nobody ever commented on it before me... I do not like the orange/red display (looks like it's trying to warn me of something all the time) but don't want to spend $2500 for a navigation system just to get all the colors on my dash board to match up.

The Audi website and brochures are very "discrete" about showing anything photo's of a dash board w/o navigation.

So, do any of you know what I am talking about and can advise? Thanks.
