That's exactly what happened to my radio. The volume knob got flaky,
then the switch stopped working completely.
The fix was fairly simple:
1) Drove to Lechmere, found a nice demo model Kenwood
disc player for $250.
2) had shop install it.
3) Listened to much better music than from Delta radio.
Seriously, I decided to pitch my delta (actually, sent it to
Bob D'Amato for experimentation). The radio is not that good,
and it wasn't worth fixing. Most aftermarket stereos will blow
it away sound-wise. The Audi has DIN mounts, so most new radios
slide right in.
P.S. I never miss the center display. It was annoying anyway.
After a week, I didn't even notice it's absence. I think it was
sort of a "gadget" anyway.
