Re: quattro-digest V4 #2874
My new Avant is pre-wired for a microphone. speaker and power all terminating in a plug
in the armrest of my '98B A4 Avant. I just learned that the Cellular Phone for my '98
A4 Avant is $600. Does anyone have the wiring diagram for the connector in the arm
rest With Cellulars selling for under $10 with an annual service contract, knowing how
to wire to that plug would be a great way to save up for a rainy day.
