Default is anything else (i.e. hardware or wires) need to be purchased also?

or does it all come with the changer?

Default You can also get an 8 disk changer from Autotoys for around $200 (which is what I have)

The install is easy. The Audi kit is complete and so is the Stratmosphere kit and the Autotoys kit.

Default It is - it is just a regular Panasonic changer with an adapter. Buying from Autotoys is interesting

They will not accept ANY returns so don't buy it if you don't really want it.

Default Hardware came with (from Clair); not sure if GF had to buy separately...

But it really is a piece of cake to install. Take off the plastic piece at back of trunk, loosen up left side, remove the rack, install changer, plug in to test, then reinstall rack, cover up connection, and reinstall everything. Really, with a ratchet, 6" extension, and screwdriver, should take like 10-15 minutes max.
