... my God!  This story is almost identical to my experience on the same
issue!  Schedule an appointment for the airbag, drop the car off ... you'll
get the car back today for sure ... dealer keeps the car for 2 days, I get
it back in the "original condition" with the R.O. left open because they did
not have the proper trigger module.  "Hey, did you know the V8 was different
than the other cars? ... we gotta get them from Germany!"  I get the car
back and find that the AM reception is gone ... they probably forgot to
reconnect the rear antenna or power to a rear antenna amp ...

Well, I've got my appointment to have the job finished on Monday ... Audi
will be providing me a rental car gratis if I need it ... I suppose if its a
Lumina I'll definitely have to take it ... :-)

Ah ... the joys of owning a low quantity model ...
