Default 1996 A4 2.8: what radio for the trunk CD changer

I just bought a 96 A4 2.8 quattro auto. The original radio is gone, replaced with an aftermarket unit that supposedly also controls the trunk CD changer.
I would rather install the OEM radio. What radio should I be looking for?

Default factory cd player

I have a 96 a4 2.8 quattro with a factory bose stereo. It is a single din am/fm tape player. I can take a picture of it if you would like so you would know what you should be looking for. You can buy it from audionlineparts.com but it is a ridiculous price.

Does it say anything on it, like Symphony or Audi Delta?
See the list here, maybe you can identify yours?
It should have CD Changer capability.
