OK... so I go to my dealer to see how much it would be to put in a CD changer....
in my wifes '01 1.8TQMS and they quote me $531.00 installed. $531.00!!
Is it me or does this seem a little unreasonable?!
Does anyone know if I have other options (ie. third party hardware, etc.) when it comes to hooking up a CD changer in the A4?
I'm ruling out those FM modulators CD changers because I'd like to have everything work seamlessly (no remote) with what's already been pre-wired. In other words... I want her to use her existing radio buttons etc.
Any information would be greatly appreciated!

OEM 6-disc changer, $199 here -->
It's pretty easy to install it yourself. I don't think you need the $50 mounting bracket. Your car should have it already. All you need is 4 mounting screws - get them from the dealer or from a local hardware store.<ul><li><a href="http://www.audiquattroparts.com/audio/radio.htm">http://www.audiquattroparts.com/audio/radio.htm</a</li></ul>

Did some research... Can only use factory changer. Dealer charges $388.. Clairparts charges $314 ..
Any other ideas on where I can get one cheaper?
FYI... it's a Christmas present.

You did poor research my friend.
Panasonic DP-601 or Panasonic DP88 work just fine in your car. All you require is a PIE AUD/PC-PAN6 for the DP-601 or a PIE AUD/PC-PAN8 for the DP88.
Difference is 6 disc or 8 disc.
PIE is www.pie.net.
It works perfectly fine. Idid it myself.
The difference however is to mount it you need to get a little creativr with screws/washers/spacers. But it's well worth the savings.
