Specing up a TDV8

I am in the process of trying to spec up a RRS as i want to change from my 2.5 year old A6 Estate.
so far i have:-

TDV8 HSE in Black
Privacy glass
Black Interior
Side steps
Chrome Air Vents
IPod Dock

am i missing anything?

I cannot believe that there is no DAB Radio option, I know that this may sound petty but Radio 5 and Talksport are all i listen to.
Its really making me question if this car is for me, then i look at one on the road and decide yes, then i pass a petrol station and start to think again........
Help

Nope, that's about the size of things.

You only get DAB on the FL2 at the mo, I'm afraid. It should appear on the RRS in the future.

Presuming you're not quite at the order stage yet, it looks like you'll be getting an 09MY too so two Blacks to choose from... Santorini or Bournville Thumbs Up

Factory looks loads better than an aftermarket job though... esp on the rear windows where the aerial is. Nothing stopping you getting the fronts done aftermarket though Thumbs Up

Thanks for the tip on the DAB JayMann, but on a 55k car its pathetic especially when you can get it on a freelander and i have had it on my 34K A6 for 2.5 years.
The sales lady tells me its an executive vehicle well wheres the executive radio??

Is the omission of DAB going to stop you buying the best SUV on the market? Confused

shmoogle - its making me think twice
I do 35K miles a year and 90% of the time i listen to talksport or 5live on DAB
i am too young for radio 4 and prefer talk to music to keep me entertained in the car

Shame.... LR have never been the earliest adopters of in-car technology, but I must admit I'm surprised it hasn't already found its way into the RRS yet. Not much you can do about it, unless you're willing to either listen to them on AM, or go Jay's route.
