Re: Radio Security Code

[Lawrence C Leung <l.leung@juno.com>]

Thanks for writting, Larry!

The local Audi dealer would look up the code for me, but refused to let
me walk in with the radio pulled, even if I came in with the title +
registration and had the car in the lot. They would charge $37.50 (1/2 hr
labor) to pull the unit and check the code. Talk about a scam. I just
happened to remember the code (now have it written in a safe place + gave
it to my mechanic) two days before my "walk-in" apointment, thus
cancelled (+ had tunes 2 days in advance. Also two days sooner to
possible Bose meltdown, ha, ha). At the moment, I do not recall the name
of the dealership (they are the only one located in Nanuet, NY) but do
know now whom I won't be going to in the future. There are actually 3
other dealers with 30 miles + my mechanic, whom I've recommended before
(Haupt-Strauss Motors).
