Default Just Bought '96 A6

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/147591/audi3.jpg"></center><p>1996 Audi A6 2.8 V6 Quattro

Payed $2,500 for her. 120k miles, no problems just sun roof motor is broken. Its my first car.

I got a couple questions about the car.

1) Will I be able to swap original head unit with an aftermarket, but still keep the stock Bose speakers?

2) If not, is there any method of iPod integration through the CD changer?

3) Can I swap the stock steering wheel with an S6 wheel?

4) Do you guys know of any good lowering systems for this car?

5) Is it possible to program an Audi switchblade key from eBay with this car, the key it came with a keyless ignition, but its old and the ring on it is broken.

Thanks.

Default Nice looking car. I'd be more concerned about doing a complete timing belt service than

the radio, springs, steering wheel, or anything else.

Switchblade keys work for 1997 and newer.

oh, check out the quick start guide in my signature. that will show you how to search the archives for answers to most of your questions. folks here probably won't be too keen to answer the same old questions over and over when they're well documented already.

Yeah, I was planning on doing that anyway. I'm just talking about future plans. I got my priorities right.

Default you'll never get the same quality sound from an aftermarket head unit!!!

I'm speaking from experience. If you have problems with the volume ****, just take out the head unit and clean out the contacts on the **** body inside the unit. Very easy to take out, stick some thick nails through the holes all the way and pull out the unit side to side till it comes out, then unplug the harness from the back. Pop off the top of the unit and you're in. You may be able to get lowering springs from tirerack.com. I think they're h&amp;r, around $300. Do the timing belt! make sure there's no whining noises (my car busted). P.s welcome, and enjoy the ride. You may have made a deal with the devil &gt;;p

Default This is good advice.

I didnt knwo they were easy to clean, but that's the ticket!

BOSE amps and speakers interface very differently than others, since it is an equalized system. Mixing and matching can be difficult.
