Re: Audi Weisbaden Radio...

Dave:

I was able to remove the radio sucessfully using 3 jewelers 
screwdrivers in the release holes.

Turns out is was a blown fuse.  Visited my local Radio Shack, got a 
new fuse, and voila! music.  Now I have to figure out why one of the 
speakers isn't working.  Wiring, I suppose.

Thanks again.
