Default Where's the CD-changer port in my 2001 A4?

I want to install this:

But I have no idea where the CD changer port is. My car did not come with a CD changer as far as I know (whether the previous owner had it and removed it is a mystery). But, if it didn't come with it, would my car still have the port? If so, where is it? Thanks

I'll still can't find it, I'll have to look over the weekend when I have a little more light. However, while I was looking by the toolbox, I found another port. It was above the tool box and rectangular. It almost looked like the OBD II port in the front of the car. Any idea what that is?

Do you have the stock radio? I think what you're looking for is found behind the radio in the plug:

The bottom left section there is for the cd-changer and you could probably just plug into there...

I don't think the port I'm looking for is on the back of the head unit. But if there'a a way to hook my MP3 player (I don't have an iPod) up to my radio without using the connector above, I'm all ears.

If the cd changer is in the trunk then there is a wire running to the trunk and I'm sure that wire is connect to that section of your radio so whether you hook that up in the trunk or you hook it up directly on the radio I'm sure it comes out to be the same thing.

Yeah, I suppose. I just have to make sure the same connector is behind the headunit. Otherwise I might just use the old wire and move my MP3 player up front.
