Default Hmmm...there's a TECH article on installing the CD changer in the A6

...might check it out for the location of the screws.

Try the "resources" pull-down at the top of the page.

Default Take out the whole metal frame - 4 bolts , 1 screw IIRC from installing my Phatbox

From the Tech Article -

4. If you are removing the bracket as I suggest, do so now. There are 4 bolts and 1 screw. The bolts are 7mm you will need a socket set or spinner and a 3" extension will make it easier. The screw is a #2 phillips and you will need a screwdriver with a short or offset shaft. To remove the bracket, loosen the screw, then remove the bolts. You do not need to remove the screw. One bolt is behind a sticky cardboard panel on the left below the tail light. Peel the panel back and remove the bolt. Remove the bracket by lifting up on it. The right side will slide out from under the screw and the left side has a tab which will slide out of a groove it is in.
