Did you check the fuses?  Perhaps the impact was enough to short out some
electrical wiring to the CD changer area.  Also, when you say "intact", did
you check that the wiring to the radio and climate control are all securely
plugged in?

BTW, make sure you get a qualified shop to work on the aluminum body
of the A8.
