Dead Red Radio = Radio that goes blank with the backlights turned on. It will not turn off and must be defused in order to be reset.
Got my radio replaced today. Had a long conversation with one of the tech's and he stated the problem is common and that its a programming/flash board issue on the radio.
Audi is aware of the issue and promises the newer radio's have been "fixed".
