I just learned yesterday that I can open my trunk using the electronic latch on the outside of the car. Before, i was using the keyring or the switch inside the driver's door. Kind of stupid, but I had no idea it was there... [:@]

if thsi is stock then my **** is broken... 04 A4 1.8t
It's not broke, you will have to have all the doors unlocked in order for this feature to work. If just the drivers door is unlocked, then the electronic truck latch will be disabled.
Does this work on B6's cause ive never seen a latch on the trunk or is all the time i spent cleaning my baby been for nothing

the steering wheel obviously moves up and down but it also moves in and out. I've had my car for two years and just found this out...
And how does that work??

If your car has a telescoping steering wheel you just flip the thing down to move it up or down and push it in or pull it out. I wish mine would telescope out more because I'm 6'4.

Yes it works on the b6's. There is a microswitch covered with rubber directly above the license plate. Next to it is a key cylinder. The reason it may not be working is that you might have to unlock it with the key first. As long as the doors are unlocked, the you can open thte trunk from the back. My 04 A4 has it, my 04 passat variant has it, all the MkIV's have it.......

Did you know (at least on the b6's) that when you arm the alarm, it activates a deadbolt for the fuel door?

Here's one some people may not know. You can't lock your keys in the car. You literally have to have the key in your hand (or your driver window down) to lock all the doors.

Also, the valet key is a little deceiving. It can't open the trunk, glove box, or unlock the folding rear seats. But all you have to do is open the car and hit the unlock button on the door or insert the key in the door and turn it in the unlock direction twice (unlocks all doors) you can then open the trunk. So the only 'safe' place to keep things is in the glove box.

neat tricks i did not know of at first:

-middle sun visor thingy
-motion sensors
-gas cap fits on fuel door
-floor lights up corresponding to open door
-keyfob can open and close windows from outside the car

How does the gas cap fit on the fuel door?I know some cars have this and i tried to do it on my b6 and there is no place to put it.

Also how does the keyfob open and close windows from outside the car???
