Re: CD Player....

[Joseph Curtis <Joseph_Curtis@ZD.COM>]

I just call PIE... According to the saleslady that I talked to they didn't have 
anything available currently (which we know) and they are always in R+D on new 
products.. So.... I'm back to square one... I'm thinking what I might do is 
have my friend who works at Circuit City special order the exact Audi/Alpine 
changer.... Might be able to get a price break there.... Hmmmm... If that's not 
possible...Gulp, bite the bullet and go to Audi....

:)

Joseph,

PIE has an 800-number.  It's 1-800-526-8590.

Give them a call and ask about it (probably good to have as many
people calling as often as possible!!!)

Please let me know what you find out; I'm assuming that we might
get more or less (or different) info depending on who answers the
phone.

Good luck,

> What A4Q are you looking for anyway?

Green quattro, manual, sunroof, all-weather package.  Titanium
cloth interior.  I'd take it with or without sport wheel, ski
sack, remote locks.  NO Bose system.

Quattros are getting to be in *big* demand, partly because of
the record-breaking snows here in the east.  In most cases, the
A4Q doesn't even make it onto a boat in Europe before it's sold!
