[s-cars] radio code

[Douglas Gray]

Chris,

Just had the same thing happen.  Replace battery and no radio code.  Pass &
Weisz (stealer) charged me $47 to take radio out, go online with VIN and
Serial # to Audi and get new code.  The only consolation is that they now
have my code in their records should this happen again.

Crying in the same beer,

Doug

Chris,

This is frigging ridiculious.
There is no magic list of codes we can giv eyou.

I didn't have my code and needed it after replacing the battery.
Went down to our local dealer, known for overpricing their parts &
service. The tech popped the radio out of the dash, to get the serial
number. With the serial number and Vin in hand and went to a computer
with this information, and provided my radio code with no charge.

If your local dealer seems to find maybe 5 minutes of work worth $115
I'd like to find out thair labor rate!

Ask them if you bring in your car with the radio already out of the
dash if they will still charge you for looking up the code? If so go
looking for another dealer.

HTH
Chris
