CD Changer Aftermarket options for A4 2000

A4Eric · 03-19-2000, 08:29 PM

I have researched all the posts in the archives and in the forums. I just want to confirm some things before I spend the $$$.

Those of you with the AutoToys Panasonic 6CD and 8CD changers--- Do they fit in the A4 2000 mounting bracket beneath the tool box in the trunk and accept the four mounting screws. From what I've read it sounds like the Panasonic 8CD changer does not fit, but does the Panasonic 6CD changer fit? Do these units work seemlessly with the head unit? Any problems, quirks, etc.? Would you buy the same unit again?

From what I've read, it sounds like the Clair OEM changer does fit in the bracket and does not require an adapter. Is it exactly like the stock Audi unit but without the audi badging and without the high price? Is it under a warranty by Clair, Panasonic, Audi or who?

What about the Panosonic unit advertised at http://www.stratmosphere.com/cd_changer.htm.
I presume it is the same as the AutoToys 6 CD changer. Does it fit in the bracket and accept the four mounting screw? Does it work seemlessly?

Thank you for your answers. Sorry this is so long.:}
