<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/89231/1142500766848_1143517153376_22.jpg"></center><p>i removed the plastic ashtray inside the circled area and used the space below as a coin holder. with audi making the best interiors in the biz, i was suprised they overlooked this. anyway, it worked great until i started to overfill it, and took a corner one day. a coin fell through the back and now the cover (pictured) won't open all the way. does anyone know if there is a way to open it up and get back there without having to remove parts of the center console?

material to get access underneath the ashtray.

I mentioned it to the dealer when I took it in for the 5K service... He told me it would be about $100 to remove the coin as they have to pull the AC contols to get to it... I told him I used to always keep coins in the ashtray of my B6 with no such problems... He agreed to fix it gratis "one time only"... Needless to say I don't keep coins in there anymore...

you can buy radio removal keys for like $7 and that gives you access to the A/C as well iirc

lol i thought i was the only one...i too have plenty of coins fall in and now I can barely open it. I haven't got around trying to take that part of the console out yet...maybe I ask the dealer

your girlfriend or wife take it in and cry... That always works... As long as the service writer is a guy (and not gay)...

So how do you take out the panel around the shifter if that is the only way to get access to the lost coin. I really want to get that stupid coin out of there
