Subject: SAFE radidio

[cobram at juno.com]

It's a bit more involved than popping in a new head unit.  To replace the
Delta unit you have to rewire the whole system, remove and replace the
Bose Amps and speakers with something that will fit in the door pods and
deck shelf.
More important though, you lose the cool instrument cluster display. ;-)
The anti-theft scheme is present in just about all head units of this
vintage.  AFAIK, of the Audi's, only the Wiesbaden turns into a doorstop
that can't be soft coded.

I enjoy escargot, but I prefer fast food.
