[s-cars] CD Changer woes - AGH!

[Pram]

Guys:

CDX A20, CDX A30, CDX A100 and the CDX A15 (I believe) should be
compatible to each other (interchangeable) with whatever compatible Sony
receivers/controllers ( I had tried all three CDX A20, A30 and A100
controlled by the same Sony controller on my Mazda)

I tried my old  CDX A100 on my 92S4 and it works!!!  Based on the above,
the CDX A20 and A30 should be compatible with the Audi deck.  BTW  on
these old Sony changers there is no RCA output!
