Default requesting modernization tips

So, I just bought my first audi. It is a 2000 A6 quattro 2.7T with 45,000 miles on it. I'm about to go to Germany for three years (Army) so I am very excited about this car. I was speaking with a few friends and they told me its best to do things here because parts are usually more expensive in Europe (stupid euro). I was wondering if anyone had a few suggestions for modernizing the car. The only thing I can think of right now is bluetooth but I don't know where to find the hook up since the car already has a phone jack and button. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated. I read as many rule bulletins as I could but my ADHD kicked in, so, this is my first post, hope its OK.

I don't know what you mean by "modernize" but, if you are taking the car to Germany, you will want to get a chipped ECU before you go. It will do away with the 127 MPH limit in your American car.

If you are going to chip it, upgrade the diverter valves and throttle body boot as well to prevent problems. Make sure you have excellent high speed tires and real good brake pads and disks. A chipped 2.7T without the governor can easily hit 150+ mph.
