WTF

Same thing happened to me in my 3000GT, and it had one! Tried it in my Audi, but don't have one.

You probably never had one, Audi's are prewired for CD changers. I have the same button but no CD changer either.

LOL, maybe in your car, but, in mine that little button releases the ashtray for emptying... the rear-shade button would be one of the ones on the panel of buttons above the head-unit, I think...

Well, I recently got my Bentley Manual, so I'mm gonna poke around in it and see what the schematics say... I believe it is, I just need the pieces/parts, adn teh appropriate button to replace the dead-button on my panel with.

We'll see


edyt:
The following PM went to nmorrow and fenderstrat1184:
nmorrow, the original offer for teh Changer was to fenderstrat1184, but you responded first, so I'm kinda torn as to how to solve this. You two could work it out amongst yourselves, OR..., if you're both game, we cud dig up the "Trivial Pursuit" thread... Winner takes! I know, I know, it's kinda cheesey, but it cud be fun, too, if you approach it with teh right mind-set.

So, anyway, I checked eBay prices for teh CDChanger and it's going for anywhere from $125. up to $175./$200. I'll sell either of you mine for, say $100.00 +shipping, when I get around to getting it out. I ended up working on my Sis-In-Law's Excursion, this weekend, so that's buster. Next weekend I'm headed up to take my Moms and my 2 Sisters out for Moms'Day dinner, in Michigan, so that's buster, too. The weekend AFTER that is looking good, so far.

Anyway, either way, work out amongst yourselves who's willing to take one for the team and let the other one get the changer, OR, post your willingness to BATTLE for it in teh AF Trivial Pursuit challenge, and I'll see you two ion THAT thread, once I dig it up...[sm=teetertooter.gif]

You'll have to let us know how you like the Phatbox when you get it installed. I would love to pick one of those up but no one has one.
