I was just curious and wanted to make sure that I'm not losing my mind, but is there an accessory switch on the ignition or is it just OFF and RUN? If there is one, I have yet to find it and it is kind of annoying that when I work on the car I can't listen to the radio due to having to crank the car. And no, I'm not a newbie to cars, just new to Audis... :/

 

You can turn on the radio without the key in the ignition if that's all you're looking for.

 

It took me a while to figure it out but if the cars off even if the key's in your pocket you can turn the radio on by turning it on or off then on. I've had the windows work w/o the key in but im not sure how haha.

 

Thanks for the information guys. Would have never tried that since my old Nissan 240SX and Mazda Miata had to have the key in the ACC position to give power to the radio. I'll give it a try the next time I'm working on the car and see.
