Does anyone know how to release a jammed card-holder (standard fit on 08 A3 1.6 SE)? It seemed like the perfect place to keep a video ipod when not in use but it's jammed the card-holder in the fully-in position.

I noticed your post was a week old so if you haven't sorted it yet, here goes....
I did somehting similar a while back with my house keys
Chances are that the iPod is catching on the casing of the card-holder drawer.
My solution was to insert a kitchen knife (long / thin / strong) to go ver the top of the keys (insert iPod!!) and allow me to then use another knife to gently prise open the drawer!!
Hope this helps
Thanks - i swallowed my pride and took it back in to Audi. They popped it out in about half an hour.cheekeemonkey said:
Their technician said it's the weight of the ipod that's the problem - the spring at the base of the card holder aint strong enough to push it back out. I'm not really believin him tho cause it jammed when i pushed it in rather than on the push to relase the tray...
Kitchen knife sol would be worth a try if the holder jammed flush with the dash but mine was jammed in it's furthest down pos - couldn't get a knife in far enough to lever the tray out.
