Brett,

Nope, 95.5 had the same two button radio remote
as the A6. Lister Tom Mullane cued me in on how
to re-program the bugger. Too bad Audi didn't see
fit to provide the procedure in the owner's manual
(which is the same for the A6/S6 with the S6 getting
a supplemental manual). Anyway, thanks to all the 
lister replies. This is one for the archives.
