I did a search but could not find an answer...

Has anyone found the CD Chager wiring in the boot, ordered the new changer brackets and installed the factory changer or has everyone just had the dealer do it

I also would like the part # to the brackets if anyone has them. They are different for the Cabrio.

The wires are behind the rear passenger seat (right hand side) in the boot. Working from outside the car remove the one screw holding the plastic cover by the wheel well. Gently
pull out the front part of this cover to expose the take-up reel for the seat belt. The wires are just below the reel. They are wrapped in cloth and the ends are tied back. It is easier to get them from inside the car.

Ratther than using brackets, someone posted directions and pictures of using a wide 2" velcro strap......I got mine at Home Depot....there are two screws just below that little access door, so I secured the strap through those screws and have the changer velcroed against that access door.The changer is held firmly and no skipping. This allows for easy removal of the changer when I need to access anything below the floor in the boot, like the wheel jack when I remove my snow tires next week as spring is here (but not here in massachusetts as we had 6 in snow last night) I should point out that mine is an '04.
