As I recall, somebody else with a 95.5 had the same issue a couple of months
ago after having their ignition switch replaced.  Now you're number 2.  So,
it sounds like they've redesigned the switches and they are no longer
compatible with the way the radio is wired on the 95.5 and later cars.  What
part number did you get?  The FA shows 4A0 905 849 A for manual, and 849 B
for automatic.  BTW, the "A" started with the '94 100/S4.  Is there now a
"C"?
