Yeah yeah I'm a dinosaur, cars today are marketed for their tech/integration, but I don't need or want a car as complex as that A4 was.
I did the same, Audi A4 in Seattle last Sep. They didn't ask me about a tech walk through, but I would have refused. I mostly figured it out while I had the car. It was cool to have the nav in the dash in between the gauges. I thought it was pretty cool.
