Bose - Activation code?
My radio was replaced under warranty on my April '99 2.8Q fitted with Bose and 6-disk CD.
Bose no longer works; does anyone know if there is an activation code to enable Bose?.... or has the dealer installed the wrong radio/cassette unit?
Symptoms: no Bose display, sound not as good as original, GALA lets you set left/right for phone (manual says Bose system doesn't allow this).
The original radio had scrambled display in cold weather and eventually the dash readout also died.
Thanks

DennisD, in my 4.2 (only available with tip) I only get 15-16 MPG. This combines
mostly hwy and suburban with going in and out on NYC. The car has a big 21.7 gallon tank and a fairly accurate trip computer. BTW a for a new subject like this you can begin a new thread at the bottom of the main page for the A6.

I forgot to mention that I drive fast and enjoy using the throttle. I am not your
father's Oldsmobile type driver. My normal hwy cruise is 85-90MPH with bursts well over those speeds. I only wish that with the existing roads we'd have drivers and traffic laws more similar to Germany's.

Re: Neddie's Bose
Major,
Good to hear from you old chap. No I'm afraid walking backwards for Xmas doesn't seem to fix it. I spoke with jolly old Eccles down at the dealership and he hasn't got a clue. I just hope the heated seats don't go berserk next.... could lead to a very nasty case of the Nadger Plague!
