i would get the oem parts to remove them. cus the locking mechanism is a bit
convuluted and can esily stick or break any homemade soln. the parts only
cost 4-5$ + shipping from ebay.

i bought mine a few weeks ago.

Not sure on the A6s!
Does yours look like this with the need for 4 tools?

I will assume that you are not the first owner of this Audi.

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.

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.
Phil

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.

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?
