    According to Franco, who has researched the wiring diagrams, this
    relay should fit back to somewhere around '90 ... and maybe earlier
    but earlier hasn't been validated.  He's going to post something
    one of these times on this.

    He thinks the earlier cars without alarm systems may get by with a 
    simpler - read: less expensive, relay.  But, getting it here may 
    be a problem.

    The euro versions of most Audi include one touch up.  My guess is
    that they figured the US drivers would sue them after their kid
    got his fingers pinched with one touch up ...   The one touch up
    that's in the current US Audi includes some complicated anti-pinch
    design ... it's even mentioned in the sales blather.

    Maybe not, if a previous owner was a techno geek who upgraded it.
