A4 Cd Changer
I am after a cd changer for a 2000W - UK Audi A4 saloon. I want it to fit
into the factory position in the boot and plug into the pre-installed lead
that is also in the boot. That is, avoid as much disruption to the car as
possible.
Has anybody done this (without forking out £350 at the dealers).
I am also interested in online suppliers also.
I have considered buying a secondhand official Audi one from Ebay but I am
concerned that I may get the wrong model.
Comments please.
Thanks in advance
Richard

The oem 6-disk changer was made by Panasonic and was retailed through Audi's
parts department for US$300 in Q2/2000 - the same year they wanted US$600 for
the same changer already installed.
After buying my new S4 sans changer, I bought one from an Audi parts
department and installed it in about 15 minutes. You may still be able to
actually order one through Audi for an equivalent price.

It might be worth enquiring at VAG Parts
(http://www.vagparts.com/pages/Special.htm)
They are selling the OEM changer at £240. Although it is claimed to
only suit the A4 from 2001 onwards, I suspect that it will work with any
of the Concert or Symphony head units.

I purchased a new OEM (Panasonic) changer from www.Shokan.com for USD 160
last year and installed it myself. I don't know of any UK e-tailers though,
sorry.
Cheers,
