Hello  everyone, I'm a long time member of the quattro list and a fairly new 
member  of the S-car list. Here's the problem. I have a 95.5 S6 and yesterday, 
the  radio decided not to turn on. The car was parked all winter and the 
radio  worked when I parked it. Now 5 months later the radio doesn't turn on or  
illuminate any lights, although the CD changer will pop the disc cartridge and  
the main radio fuse is ok. The rest of the electronics are fine.  

I have read this a fairly common problem, so my  question is can the head 
unit be repaired? (suggestions?) Are there any other  name brand head units that 
drop in, and can utilize the same bose  speakers/amps? Or am I going to have 
to re-do the whole audio system?  

Any suggestions would be  appreciated...
