Audi called me back yesterday
so Audi tried to offer me $600 as compensation and i almost laughed. Since this is the cheapest route for Audi to go, it was amusing to hear the rep try to sell me on keeping my existing speakers. Thanks to all posts from everyone, as i used this to tell her it was a violation and they will have to issue me a new car if they cannot have dealer install the bose. To me, the money doesnt make a big of a difference as i just want what i paid for. The car is a lease, so taking money and putting in an aftermarket system is out of question. I will post updates when i hear back from Audi.

Who is AoA to decide what they want to do. That's why there's...
a Monroney Sticker to protect us and if you were paying attention when you signed your docs, you should notice that no one else but the buyer can remove that sticker from the car (unless you signed a waiver).

Nice. I would do the same thing, too. And take note...
it's a lease, so the supposed Bose feature is also factored in the lease payments (no matter how small). They give you back the money now and you pay for the use of it's non-existence over the life of the lease. Hmm.
I would give back the car and ask for a new one. You reset your miles to zero.
With all my respect for Audi, but I don't know why AoA treats their customers like that. They think their brand will sell itself and that we'll take anything from them. And the way they put a clause on their warranty that it can change anytime is bullcrap and a slap to the Audi buyers' intellect.
My two cents.
All this rant over Bose?! He he.

06 A4 - Free Bose
I ordered my 06 2.0 A4Q-6MT/Light Silver with sunroof, premium, technology, and nav. It came with Bose too, even though it wasnt ordered. Its on the window sticker and the vehicle data sheet. I refused to pay or wait for a new car and got it free. Not only that, but it had XM, and I made them change that to Sirius free too, I didnt order sat radio either, but refused the XM, long live Howard!
