tape head unit give you more flexibility, and I agree.  However,
I'd use an inside CD-player at least an order of magnitude more
than a tape deck.    <<

Just a bit of info for anybody out there that might be interested......

I was going to purchase the Audi 6 disc cd-changer with my '97 A4Q, until I
found out the dealer wanted $650 installed.  So, I contacted a nationally
known car stereo center down here in Bradenton, FL called MAD MARKS.  He
knew of the car and knew that Alpine made the cd-player for Audi.  So,
after he did some research, he found out that the Alpine 601 six disc
changer is the exact same changer that Audi uses.  BUT, the connector on
the back is different.  So, he said I need the adapter to connect to the
factory prewire.  BUT, the connector will not be avail until spring.  Oh,
and the Alpine 601 is only $299 (installed)!
