iceLink to replace cd changer
I just got the Dension iceLink ipod adaptor off ebay. I remember reading that there's a harness under than back seat in the 2000 TT that the cd changer connects to. I went out this aternoon, trying to figure out how to get down under the back seat, and had little success. Can someone point me towards instructions on how to get under there? There is wiring under there that should allow me to unplug the cd changer and swap in the iceLink down there, right? I'd rather not have a wire coming out of the head unit area, if that can be avoided...
Thanks a bunch...

...this will give you an idea of how to get access to the 13-pin connector that the CD changer plugs into. I didn't have a CD changer so it was easy to get to the 13 pin jack without removing the side panel. If you have a CD changer, you might have to remove the side panel to get to the connector to unplug the CD changer and plug in the icelink. You'll definitely have to remove the lower seat cushion, which is easy.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1059198.phtml">Click this</a></li></ul>

Alright. I haven't done the work yet, but I did some more digging and found this info, which I wanted to share with everyone.
Jeff Bipes Site (http://www.loomknitting.com/auditt/install.html) has this to say:
"Rear Seat Removal - TT Coupe.
You'll need a 17-18mm deep well socket to remove the rear seat "striker pin" that anchors the appropriate side's seat back. Not all brands fit.
Now remove the rear seat bottom cushion by pulling up approx. 8" away from either side, in the front. You'll feel one clip on each side that hold it down. Individually yank each side upward with some force and they'll release.
Now remove the bolts that hold the rear seat mounts. As you'll see, you will have to remove the rear seat belt part, too. You will not, however, have to loosen or remove the torx screws--they just hold the seat back mounts in place. Lift the seat back up and slightly to the rear and you'll clear the number 8-shaped be able to remove the seat back."
Also, I found this Audi service doc that seemed useful. It shows how to install the cd-changer. Which is somewhat similar to installing the iceLink to the 13-pin connector, except more complicated.
