Neither is changing a radio station setting, but if things continue the
way they're going, it'll take 3 hours of reading the manual to do it.

Not just an Audi thing, I was absolutely amazed (and I'm pretty jaded) at
all the parameters and diagnostics I could accomplish thought the radio
in my mothers late model Cheby Impala, a simple oil change and warning
light cancel turned into a 2 hour "lets see how far we can go" session
with some "insider" manuals I got from a friend at the GM dealer.
