Access to 2004 Audi A4 radio; purpose: connect USB/MP3 interface

I want to connect a USB/MP3 interface to the CD-Changer port on the back
of the factory radio unit in my 2004 Audi A4. What is the best method for accessing the back of the unit so I can do this ? There appears to be no easy access without removing something - is removal of the glove compartment the easiest way to access the back of the radio unit ?
Thanks, Joe.

Nope - you need the radio removal keys. You should see some small holes or slots near the edge of the faceplate - there are keys that go into them to unlock the radio. A stereo shop will have them - they may even pull the deck for you if you ask nicely. Only takes a few seconds, and it saves you having to buy the keys.

How to connect my bluetooth to my 2007 audi a4 q , how to connect my ipoh to it also , in the book it talk about interface but i cant find anything in my car.

the "interface" is the wire supplied by the maker of your ipod to connect into the socket in the car.(here in Europe you have to buy a "parrot" to "interface with the radio for the phone as not all phones are compatible.)

How can I find a replacement 6 CD disc changer for my Audi A6 (2005 model) please?

Most of the OEM headunits and changers are made by common radio manufacturers. Visit http://www.crutchfield.com and contact them. They make adapters that will interface an aftermarket changer to your factory system. if you could get me a model number and any other info offf of the radio and the changer I will research adapters and which brands and models of changers will work.

2000 Audi A4 stereo system

Yes. I know of two units out there: Denison's IceLink, and the Phatnoise box (or Phatbox, as some call it). I believe both install the same way. You figure out where you want the iPod connector (say, glovebox). Pull the stereo out of the dash, disconnect the CD changer (you'll lose the changer function with these but who cares?), and plug the adapter cable into the changer's port. It'll allow the iPod to play through the factory stereo, and will allow you to control the iPod with the buttons on the factory stereo.
