I think most of us in the US are going to be relatively un-helpful
here...  Virtually all US-specification Audis that are so equipped
have electric sunroofs.  The only exceptions are the early Coupes and
UrQs (removable roof that stows in the trunk) and very old models
before the very early 1980s.  Hence, you won't find many BTDTs with
such a conversion here.

A careful study of the family album is going to be your best help
to determine what bits and pieces you'll need.

In almost all cases, Audi electric sunroofs have the switch (the later
cars have a rotary knob) up overhead by the motor.  And yes, they are
tilt/slide.
