Got mine on Ebay. Complete kit with 20 GB cartridge, the software, and the VW cable, all for about $225.

I pulled out the tray located inside the compartment (in front of the left passenger seat).
However, I was not able to find the cable..
Is it b/c I do not have cd changer option (base model)?
or can I find this somewhere in the vehicle?
Please let me know.
Thanks!

Sorry but I guess I misposted the message..
Yes, I pulled the tray IN the glove box. However, I was not able to find the cable that "zysurge" link showed.
So... that was why I was wondering if you needed to have the CD-changer or factory audio system that is "better" than the base one.
Thanks for at least trying to help me.
^^

Withouttaking the time to go look at the link or do any additional research, I want to say that there is a difference between 06 models and later models. I think the 06's have that cable already there.

Again, I did not take time to look at the link or do any other additional research so anything that I am saying here is purely from (my sometimes unreliable) memory.

Man your post is probably fine, I'm a french speakingcanadian so my english is far than perfect

I have a 2006 a3 without the cd changer (in dash or in trunk) I have the concert with single CD . What years is yours and what radio is instaled in it?


So, there was no cable attached behind the small compartement? I just pulled a bit and it un-snaped from the rear of the plastic thing, connected the phatnoise cable and done.

I have an'07 A3 with the base stereo (Audi Concert, single DIN, single CD) and no CD changer. There was no cable behind the left compartment in my glove box. I pulled it to feed an iPod connector through.
