1999 AUDI A4 V6 Quattro CRUISE CONTROL AND CD CHANGER ISSUES
So to start this off I just bought this car and have had only two main issues.
I cannot get the CC(cruise control) to work and I cannot get the dash to recognize the CD changer is hooked up.
In regard to the CC, I have read over the last few days about possible issues so I did the first thing mentioned, I checked the fuse and guess what..There was none.
"Just replace it and that will fix it" I wish. I tried to replace it and the fuse wouldnt stay in. So I pulled the bottom dash off and pulled out the fuse box to see why the fuse wouldnt stay, In the Slot where the owners manual say the CC is located there was no wires going into. It's Slot 11 by the way, I am completely dumbfounded about what to do, My blinker Arm had CC on.off.resume and set but it doesn't work I need some HELP...PLEASE email me here or at pcguywilson@gmail.com
My second problem is that whenever I switch the mode button on the dash "CD" never appears, I know that it is getting power because It will eject the cartridge and I can hear it moving CDs when i push in the cartridge..ANY ADVICE WILL HELP

There's a test to check for a connection.
CD Changer Detection:
The following is the procedure on how to check if the radio detects an externally mounted CD changer.
1. Turn off radio.
2. While pressing and holding the MODE button, turn on radio.
3. The display shows CONNECT if a CD changer is connected. Otherwise it shows NO CDC. This is a display-only mode. You cannot change any settings.
4. When you are done, turn off radio, then turn it back on for normal operation
If no changer is present:
The coding for the radio is adjusted if a changer is hooked up (VAG.com), so check that first. I would grab some radio keys and remove the radio to see if the changer wires are connected at the head unit. The fact that you can eject the CD just means you have 12 volts at the changer, not that the control signals are present.
Previous owner may have had something like an ipod or MP3 interface connected and removed it prior to the sale.

Start at the head unit - as mentioned, the prior owner may have had an iPod interface and unplugged the changer (they both use the same port). As for the cruise control, it's probably a stalk failure - that's the most common way that cruise fails. It means you'd need a new stalk switch (aka combination switch).
