[V6-12v] CD player in a 1996 A4...

[Heather Mehlschau]

Hi Austin,
yes, my car is the A4 (sedan) and if I recall from around 2002 when the CD changer was installed - we were just as confuse with the Bently manual- that is why our friend helped find some relative good framing spots on the underside of the trunk and mounted the CD changer horizontal with screws and washers - that way it is not in the way of the tool kit or trunk space.
hope this helps.
thanks - Heather

Hi Heather,

On the left side of the trunk in my A4, there is a tool kit and the jack in
a well there.  I don't see any mounting points nor is there any connector
anywhere there.  I'm hoping the Bentley manual clarifies this.  Is yours an
A4?

Best Regards,

Austin

        I believe it is a single, round 9-pin connector and you can find it
along , and yes the manual shows it mounted vertically on the left side of
the trunk - but my used CD changer came with a mounting kit and I had a
friend mount it to the underside of the trunk lid which seems much more
logical to me. Of course this does not work in the avant.  I have the bently
manual too and it shows the vertical mounting for the sedan.
        thanks,
        Heather

Hi Heather,

Thank you very much!  How does it mount?  Only one connector, any idea of
how many pins?

I did find a sort of "picture" of it in the radio manual.  Shows it
mounts
vertically on the left side of the trunk, but doesn't show any visible
mounting hardware.  I will have to check the Bentley manual.

Best Regards,

Austin

        Hi Austin,
        I have the '97 A4 but have the stock delta radio. The 1996 &
1997 A4
came pre-wired for the 6 disk changer made by Audi/Alpine, wiring is in the
trunk if you lift up the lining. It is model: 8D0 035 111 model Audi 6 disc
CD changer . I have also been checking ebay lately since my used changer is
giving me a "read" error. (we think it could be the laser ). but my
used one
lasted for last 6 years.
        good luck in finding one - I also check Craigslist here in the Bay
Area.
        thanks,
        Heather

Hi,

Was there a CD player available on a 1996 A4?  My 1996 A4 has a Bose radio
and cassette.  I'd like to have a CD player as well.  I've seen some
remote
CD multi-disk players on eBay that claim to be for a 1996 A4, but I have no
idea if they are compatible with my current stereo.  I guess I could check
the owner's manual, that may have some info in there.

Best Regards,

Austin
