2006 A6 won't start - conclusion

[Dave]

not to go all cosmic on you or anything like that - but this is for the
reprogramming of the immo and keys - the dealer needs to phone home.  as
far a i am concerned that is a good thing.  if my truck gets lifted i¹d
like to know that the losers that did it would only be able to part it out.

and, says he, touching wood (head), my avant has had 3 years of ownership
and no bills other than the annual service ripoff.
