radio reprogramming

[B5_t]

Hey all
Had to buy a new concert radio as mine has died.
Is the dealer the only way to get it reprogrammed to my car. I only ask as my dealer has a waiting list for over month.

Thanks

That's pretty sad they will make you wait a month to do a 10 minute action.

Anyone with the necessary privilege and toolset with Audi corp can do the operation. Any shop that claims to be Audi capable should have that. There's even people on the Net that will do it remotely, but you'd need the correct VAS cable to connect your laptop to car (they remote into the laptop and perform the computer action remotely, accessing the car via the cable).

Awesome, Thanks! I just figured I'd post up on here before calling around.
And yes it is shitty of the dealership but my local one is pretty shitty in general. It's almost like its not worth their time and since I didn't buy the car from them they don't want to bother
