Heated windscreen and auxiliary heater for me. I just hate when I need to go to work or somewhere else in the rush and need to scrape ice off the windows or wait for it to warm up and melt it or demist.
The backup idea is to fit aftermarket remote/timer start as it's cheaper option.

ACC is awesome.. though dangerous when you use other cars that don't have it :P
Aux heaters are great in the winter.. I need to sort mine out in the A8 as it's taken the huff, but it just seems like it needs a reset.

Would probably opt for heated seats over a Bose system, since my car sits outside all the time.

I've done that.
And I keep doing it. One of my all time dreams of walking in to Audi and saying I want everything on that A8 and make it Viper Green. I want Aux heater and ACC. I know I said one mod but since I got to strip a lot of the car down to fit a Aux heater, it be rude not fit the ACC at the same time.
