Suspecting the radio setup is the same as on my 90qs (haven't tried on
the S6 yet), you should pull the radio and confirm both antenna cables
are attached at the back of the radio. If so, pull the right trim at the
rear window and inspect the cable to the radio amplifier for a good
connection.  Also confirm that the connection to the rear defroster grid
is good.  You probably should also check the ground on the other side at
the same time.  If none of that works, do the same for the front
window.  On the 90q, the module for the front window is below the right
trim piece.

Maybe someone who has done this for an ur-S4 will chime in.

> After driving my "new" S6 for about 1000miles, here's my report on what  you can get for $9500. Black/ecru, 161000 miles. Tap stage 1 with K&N and wastegate spring.  Extra blizzaks on steel wheels included Interior a 8.5 out of 10 after thorough cleaning. Driver seat shows normal character lines, no tears, has spring pushing through backrest, not real bad, other seats very nice. Carpet and mats very nice with slight wear under driver foot area. Everything works except outside temp and driver side map light, switch broken.. 2 keyless remotes both work along with alarm. Radio, great sound, very bad reception, no AM. Exterior  7.5. Paint still shiny though a  buffing is needed, 4 dings on pass side, scrape on rear bumper. 2 small dings in hood. Missing S6 emblem in front. Windshield and headlight lenses sandblasted, new windshield already installed. Dunlap SP 8000's about 75%. Wheels just OK. No peeling but some scratches and curb rash. Operation a 9. Runs perfectly up to redline.Motor
> very quiet with smooth idle. Slight brake mushiness, stock pads and rotors good. Fluid looks dark. No strange noises from susp. No fluid leaks. Needs thermostat. No belly pan, engine was very dirty. Can feel slight play in front susp. Perhaps some new bushings/motor mounts will cure this. Seem to have most records with timing beltt service at 145000. Hope this helps anyone else searching for similar a car. Looking forward  to driving and upgrading this car for the next 100000 miles. Knock on wood...
