Default You could get it to work but it's not plug and play.

I believe B5's (1998.5-2001) are Panasonic and B6's are Alpine.

You may be able to get an adaptor from somewhere to get this to work (just a guess).

But NO, they are not directly compatible.

Default Thanks. I'll see if Crutchfield has an adapter...

I'm currently using it in my GTI with an adapter. I guess I've grown attached to it...it's been in 3 cars already. 8^)

Default Well, the B6 comes standard with an in-dash 6-disc CD changer (US models). So there's not much need

for the remote CD changer. If 6 isn't enough you can get an additonal 6-disc glove box CD changer.
