I have a 1990 V8 with the Audi Bose sound system. The radio is now producing
a high pitched squeal on all stations or when playing a tape (not associated
with engine speed) and the AM section has ceased to work entirely.
Does anyone know of a replacement radio that will work with the Bose speaker
system or someone who I can send the radio to for repair?

Thanks
Bill

The capacitors in the built-into-the-speaker amps
are dying. I believe this was subject to a recent
recall. Check with your friendly Audi dealer.

I believe that there is a unit that can be purchased to make
aftermarket stereos work with the Bose speakers, I think it is called
Audilink, I've seen them on Ebay before. When I bought my V8 the
previous owner had bypassed the speaker mounted amplifiers directly at
the speaker and disabled the amplifiers to install the aftermarket
stereo, I have heard that the Bose speakers operate at 2 ohms instead
of what a normal stereo operates at, I did notice a signifigant
difference when I re-installed the factory stereo, it sounded much
better.And where have you ever seen a friendly or helpful Audi dealer,
LOL Good Luck
