Just purchased Jeff Bipes' CD Changer audio adapter cable. Jeff (or anyone else), what is the best way to get to the CD Changer cable? I saw the CD Changer Technical bulletin for TT roadster and am trying to figure out best way to the cable. Do I just remove the center panel trim and subwoofer and will the cable be accessable? Or do I actually need to remove the left trim panel? Is the CD Changer cable on the right of the changer (towards the center speaker) or on the other side?

You can get to it through the trunk. Remove the cardboard little storage area.

Fold the front sections in.

You will need to unclip the rear section by lifting up on the corners.They are captivated by a pin/socket on each corner.

You may find that you will pull the pins away from the underside backing, no big deal.

Fold the rear section into the front folded pieces, turn the whole thing at an angle to get it out.
There is no other way to get this out.

Look on the top of the rear cubby, you will see a plastic plug.
You need to get under this plug to remove it.
I have the plugs removed, and do not put them back.
You can use a butter-knife, or another type of wedge to get behind it to pop it out

Once you get the rectangular rear cubby out, you can see the changer cable here.

you can then punch a hole in the top of the cubby that is behind the driver's seat.

Mount my adapter back here, plug the changer cable into it, and the cable from my adapter into the changer.
then you can rune the switch and audio cables from the cabin, into the cubby, and plug then into their ports on the adapter box.

Perfect instructions from you, as always. Took me 10 minutes and now I'm in musical heaven! My iPod sounds 10 times better with this connection than with my iTrip.
