4x4?

I know the All4 is a AWD model that is FWD until slippage and can transfer 50/50, is there anything you can do, aftermarket wise, that will allow you to selectively change from the stock FWD to 50/50 to being always 50/50? I'm sorry if this was covered before I googled and used the site to search but I couldn't find anything.

the all4 starts at 50/50 split and goes progressively to fwd as speed increases, becoming 100% fwd somewhere above 80-90 mph if running in a sraight line and no wheelslip is detected

I did not realize that either. That's pretty neat feature!

It has been postulated this is te reason why the clutch on the All4 has such a hard time and why you only hear of clutch issues on the All4
