Default Can't find cd changer DIN cable in trunk

1998 A4 2.8Q:

Can't find the DIN cable for a cd changer in the trunk! When I pulled back the fabric on the left side wall of the trunk, I found a bundle of cables which included the 25 pin DB style cellular connector, but nothing more. Sorry, can't take pics.

Help!

Precisely where is the tray? I seriously don't see anything that resesmbles a place to put the changer in. Is it behind that small foam block where the cables go thru, above the wheel? Thanks.

No problem, at least I'm getting closer to figuring this out

Know where I should look for the cable now?

Default um... no...

did you read the FAQ? it looks like you might have to remove the rear deck. try removing it and seeing if you can see the wire there? it took em a long time to find the cable, i felt oit a few times and didnt realize it.

Default Look harder. It is there, sometimes it is tucked up by the rear deck, I have also seen it down

near the tool pouch.
