Not sure on the A6s!
Does yours look like this with the need for 4 tools? http://www.bracketron.com/instructions/AUD-104-00.pdf I will assume that you are not the first owner of this Audi.

Radio removal A4
hi and thanks for reply and the download- my radio looks exactly like that- I have the four keys, but am not getting the release. I will try again and do the wiggling and such. I just wanted to ensure you do not have to pull apart the dash and behind the radio to get it out. that is what the aftermarket guy wanted to do- so thanks. I will keep trying. phil -- phil 57 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ phil 57's Profile: http://www.audiforum.ca/member.php?userid=7309 View this thread: http://www.audiforum.ca/showthread.php?t=3319 |

Radio removal A4
HI and thanks. I contacted an audi dealer and had them send me the instructions to unlock the radio- the interesting part was that one has to wait one hour with the key in the ignition and the radio on- after one hour the radio light shuts off and then you can proceed with the unlocking procedure- that worked! If one does not wait the hour then the unlocking prodedure will not work- perhaps this will help someone else. the good new is I do not have to buy an aftermarket unit. thanks for your help-much appreciated.

congrats!!!
I thought you only needed to do that "unlocking" procedure when you have entered that radio code incorrectly too many times which locks your radio. ;-) "phil 57" > wrote in message news > > HI and thanks. > I contacted an audi dealer and had them send me the instructions to > unlock the radio- the interesting part was that one has to wait one hour > with the key in the ignition and the radio on- after one hour the radio > light shuts off and then you can proceed with the unlocking procedure- > that worked!

Radio removal A4
I have an Audia A4 2003 model. Car stood for a week while I was away. Battery went dead. Friend removed and had it recharged before I returned. Radio is now dead. Have checked the fuse and replaced it. Any other fuse box to check or on the radio itself if I remove it? -- SamT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SamT's Profile: http://www.audiforum.ca/member.php?userid=10964 View this thread: http://www.audiforum.ca/showthread.php?t=3319 |
