2004 Audi A8, Battery diconnected now it won't start at all
I'd like to update everyone on specific problem that I had. After many hours of troubleshooting, we found out that it was an blown ignition. A new one had to be installed, and the car had to be towed to the Audi dealership for programming.

2004 facelift question
Great question on the grill. I thought 2006 was the first year of facelift series? Did you upgrade the grill? If so, that's the best retrofit I've seen.

Which of the perhaps 20 things would you like us to guess at? You need to use conventional automotive troubleshooting techniques. If not familiar with them, take it to a mechanic.
Starting points are to make sure your battery is not bad, and to check all relevant fuses. People here often don't seem to realize batteries go bad in 5 years, let alone 10 +. How old is your battery?? If no power anywhere, suspect the main kill fuse that goes off when there is an accident (the one in the plastic case that forms the battery bolt down) may be blown. Also be sure you know there are heavy amperage fusible links in that panel by the battery--the ones that look like little metal barbell shapes bolted between two nuts that hold them down.
After those, next 17 things would be guesses and standard automotive troubleshooting...
