    I was thinking about this. I would like to grab it. The car won't run without it through. Soooo, anyone have either a spare ecu, or a stock chip I can solder back in?

    I think "speedtrapped" from NJ has an engine including ECU he's been trying to sell for several months... Maybe he'd be willing to sell/swap ECU's until you get a new RS6----IF your's is totaled, of course?????

    Would there need to be some programming with the key/immobilizer?

    From this Ross-Tech link, it appears straight forward---EXCEPT for the required 4 digit ecu PIN #... Probably attainable thru the dealer's higher echelon VAG-COM??? Just guessing on this one.

    I don't think you can realistically reprogram the immobilizer with VCDS. But it is possible through more invasive means.

    Good luck with the insurance company. It looks mostly cosmetic, but labor is quite expensive at the dealership down there, well, everywhere ! you might be a little better on an honest, independient shop if you can find one, good luck, anyway !

    Right. I would never touch the thing before I heard.

    Speaking of that. I spoke with a friend who happens to be an adjuster today, and he said that I would likely need about 17k of repairs to get totaled. So I doubt it will be.

    Not to Thread Jack but Hulio, is that your Audi in your avatar photo or just a photo you copied for your avatar?
    If yes, is that a C6? Is that an RS6?

    Wow. Glad you came out unscathed. I am actually surprised deer did not survive the impact, especialy since it looks like she glanced off the hood - they are as hardy as rats. Good luck with repairs.

    It wasn't running after you hit the deer right? That's what I remember
