The most recent Audi CD-changers (1998 model yrs) are made by Panasonic.
The older ones by Alpine.  Not sure about your model year (may be Alpine
but maybe they changed to them after '94).  But the solution is pretty
simple, take your cassette into a local Auto Stereo specialty store and
ask them if they have a match.  Probably 90% chance they will.  If it's
the Alpine unit, it should cost you between $25 and $30 (I got one for
$26.95 incl some 'discount').
