Yup that is the one. Yea I noticed the MMI screen wasnt lit, just something to check out. Its raining all day here. Not sure if I will be able to get out there and take a look at it.

Hey 9thone where abouts in Dallas are you? Also how are you liking your 06? Did you get a PPI or a warranty? Where did you find yours at?

i'm in mesquite, not too far from the mall...i love this car...so much fun to drive...2nd best car i've owned (the 1st being an 01 chrysler 300m...not joking)...i've never had an AWD veh before and when the roads were icy a few weeks back, i deliberately attempted to get the car to slide or fishtail, but the audi wasn't having it...

i didn't get a warranty from the dealer and all the mailers I'm getting from various companies are credible. Most of the companies have very generic names, like USA Auto Warranty, which makes it difficult to research them...

i purchased my car in Addision an here's a link to the very car I bought(i saved it via evernote). HERE'S MY RIDE :-)

unfortunately, this week i had the front air suspension struts/shocks replaced w/ the upper control arm which set me back $3750...only $350.00 of that was labor...the compressor/motor may be a more cost friendly repair but the parts mentioned above are indeed quite costly...

"So called major services are actually major money for a dealer for a minor work."

Once again Mishar nails it. Been there, done that.

Ouch! That bites. I'm glad I live in the flatlands. Hopefully I never have to pony up for that one.
