Default am I the only one confused?

You took your S4 to your Audi Dealership because your APR security lockout code didn't work, or are you talking about the radio code after power loss?

Default Look inside for explanation

my apr security lockout program stopped working and i could not turn the program off to start my car. I brought it to audi and they put the code in 3 or 4 times and got it to turn off. today they called me and said that i needed a new cruise control stalk and it would cost 450 installed. i told them to go f*ck themselves. lol

Default wtf. How much did they charge to put in the code?

Cruise control stalks have been known to go bad with excessive usage, so you really might need to replace it. Shop online/classifieds for a used one.

Why in the world would you take it to a Audi dealership? Keep a 2nd ECU available for such circumstances.
