OK back on topic... 
The OEM radio to my MY97 VDP stopped working suddenly last Saturday night. I got out of the car and noticed the antenna didn't retract, then later discovered that the radio was dead.
Off on a business trip all week, I came home yesterday to see that now the entire car is dead.
Simple to think it's the battery, but the radio dying first makes me wonder if there's something else going on.
I don't think I can buy a Varta battery here in the USA but will get recommendations from the local Jag dealership this morning and start eliminating the variables.
If it's not the battery, it will be interesting to theorize what else might be the cause.
UPDATE: Phew! Just the battery. Interstate Mega-Tron battery is what's used here in the States, $174.00. Radio turned on too so all is well. Yay!
