Default CD changer install question

just bought a 97 A4 2.8 and would like to put in a changer. My understanding is it's pre-wired. Do I have to get a particular changer to be compatible or can I get any 6-10 disc changer and be good?

Default answered my own question in tech... BUT...

are the adapters for aftermarket changers readily available now?

Default Depends on which stereo you've got...

The newer ones, the Symphony (for sure) and the Concert use Panasonic CD-Changers. Crutchfield even sells a kit that comes with the adapter and the CD-Changer. The older stereo used an Alpine unit though... not sure about the availablity of adapters for that one.

Default Didn't know there was any major problem

Audio Warehouse Express had the adapter for my Panasonic 8-disc changer installation in '98.5 A4 Avant in stock.

Default I think the Delta takes the Alpine unit... ya might call Crutchfield and see what they think...

Then try and find the unit somewhere else... I'm not even sure if CF sells Alpine gear but they might be able to give you an idea of what adapter you'd need.
