Installing sharkfin antenna.
Hey guys, have any of you installed the sharkfin antenna yourselves? Does anyone know how/where to take the interior's ceiling panels off? My bf's planning to do the install himself, but can't figure out where exactly he can get in behind the ceiling's panels.

The 214mph Audi A4
Why does everyone want to turn the poor Audi A4 supersonic?
Audi already offers the slightly unhinged S iteration, boasting a 4.2-litre V8 that puts out 339bhp and propels the A4 to 60mph in just under six seconds.
And if you need to go even quicker, there's always the frankly deranged RS4, which develops a massive 414bhp from the same engine and hits 60 in under five seconds.
More? You want more? You'll have to go to Germany then. Audi tuning specialist Alfons Hohenester has rustled up this: the Hohenester HS650 Nardo.
OK, so the name makes it sound like an electro-pop synthesiser, but there's nothing cheesy about the performance.
This modified A4 is fitted with a three-litre twin-turbo V6, which will see it to 62mph in 3.4 seconds and on to a top speed of 214mph. It'll also develop 650bhp when it's spinning at 7,200rpm.
The A4 has race-tuned suspension and modified aerodynamics to keep it on the road at such silly speeds, but we like the fact that - if you took the gaudy stickers off at least - it looks more or less stock.
Rock up to the lights in it and you'd barely get a second glance. At least not until you hit a speed bump and landed in France...

VAG COM tools?
This posting might be misplaced, please relocate if needed.
* Any experience with VAG COM tools?? Are they worth it? *
I'm still a newbie, and am learning the ways.
I'm wondering if it makes sense to drop $299 on the VAG COM kit from rosstech, or to just buy the $12 cable from ebay and use the shareware version with the 'limited' features.
Maybe I have limited knowledge, but I only need it for basic diagnostics and reading engine codes. Please provide some guidance.
Also, where can i buy cheap bentley manuals?
Thanks,
