The rear electric seat switches and rear reading lamps are located in the middle of the headliner PRIOR to the panoramic sunroof.

When the pano sunroof debuted...the rear electric seat switches where moved to the C pillar (and redundant switches are in the same place on each side of the cargo bay when tail gate is lifted) and the rear reading lamps were also moved over to the side of the headliner above the rear windows. All due to the impossibility of mounting switches and lights to a moving glass panel.

I could ask the same question-- how did you know the X5 was not as comfortable when you didn't remember what the A4 backseat was like but I won't.

I understand you don't like the X5 backseat. That doesn't you are right and those that disagree are wrong. Lots of folks like a firm rounded seat in tight black leather.
I sold my a4 for the x5 so it wasn't really hard to tell. The a4 rear seats were more like bucket seats and the x5 is more like a park bench wrapped in leather

Same question, if you can't remember how comfortable the A4 backseat was, how can you say the X5 seat is not as good? Your opinion is obvious and you are certainly welcome to it but it would be far more credible if you remembered how comfortable the A4 backseat was to you.

I don't know why this is so hard for you to comprehend. in your mind, when I said I don't remember, you must have thought I looked at the audi rear seats and said "wow this so comfortable"

i traded my a4 for the x5 so it's not hard to tell seat comfort. excuse me if I can't remember on a scale from 1-10 how comfortable the audi seats were now. I even said the audi seats were more comfortable because they were a bucket type of seat and the x5 is a bench type so u can stop trolling

No need to bounce off the rev limiter.

I would never have thought you could have said "wow this so comfortable."

I may have a problem with comprehension as I view I don't know as a viable substitute for I don't remember. "I don't remember (I don't know) what I had for dinner last night but it was much better than the night before." I haven't even mentioned the I see a viable substitute for A4 and X5 as apples and oranges. I do comprehend you have the right to an opinion and understand what that opinion is.

I apologize if I have offended you. I'm done.

My apology was only because you seemed offended by my questions when I was only asking for clarification. I don't agree at all that I was trolling.

I went for a ride around the city yesterday in the back of my X5. It s pretty cozy with the black leather seats reclined, armrest out, rear ac on, and quarter window shades up to make the already tinted windows even darker. It was like a quiet cave. It gets so dark in there with the black headliner and the shades drawn.
