Advice on replacing stereo in 200TQAv

["Ted Nilson" <teddybear@tempest.nac.net>]

Hello.  This is my first posting to this list, so please be tolerant if I
violate group etiquette.  I recently purchased a 1990 200 Turbo Quattro
Avant (my second Audi; my first was a '87 5000s Avant) and I have some
questions I hope the group might address.
1) I want to upgrade to a new sound system w/ CD changer.  Are there any
tricks to removing the console face plate to get at the stock
receiver/cassette player? Has anyone found a particularly good place to
mount a remote CD changer? Do I have to remove the whole dash (along w/
steering wheel) to replace the front speakers?

2) I need to replace the circuit board that controls the speedo, dash
lights, diagnostic system; how do I remove the instrument cluster, again
without removing the whole dash?

3) I would like to install a class I towing hitch to pull a light sailboat.
I haven't been able to find a hitch manufacturer that makes one for this
model.  Will I have to get one custom built, or does Audi make one?  There
seems to be holes in the frame where one would bolt in.

Thanks in advance for your help.
