Yesterday I graduated from the D2 board to the D3 board. Traded my 97 for a very late in the model year 05, first put into service 7/05. What a difference between the 97 and the 05.
So far we have found that the passenger side headrest goes up, but not down; and the AM radio has poor selectivity on most of the stations - another station leaks through in the background. Is this radio problem common and can it be fixed? The car still has remaining factory wanrranty plus CPO following.

MP4.2+6.0

There are TSB's on the radio as I recall, which the dealer could reference during a service visit

Sounds like a bad antenna. I've had that on my '01 Beetle but not my '04 A8.

I stepped up from my had since new 1987 5000CS Quattro Turbo to my '04 A8 (bought used December '05 with 56k miles. A *slight* difference in performance and appointments.

Welcome to the D3 gang.

Thank you. You made quite a step up. I had a 1986CSQT, graduated to a 92CSQ (still have), 97A8, and now the 05; all used (excuse me - previously owned). The 86 was a real trouble maker $$.

Thank you. I will look into it at the next dealer visit.
