    Yes, the CD changer reference is correct in Audi speak. Of all things, the actual box the AMI unit comes in is a CD changer box, and that is Audi's part description on their warehouse inventory tracking sticker too.

    I know from being the first known guy to self install this in a D3 and have it work right out of the box. Maybe the only D3'er so far, though others are hot on the trail too--there was one earlier C6 post (the one with a lot of pics) that got it in while my parts were on order. Several have posted they had the dealer do it.

    For reference, inside the box that says and even pictures a "Genuine CD autochanger" (I'm reading off the box) is the AMI "brain" that fits into the second CD slot to the right of your existing unit--unless that is you have an early one without two drive bays in the glove box by chance. Thus, unlike me, you won't have the experience on seeing the box at first and saying, oh %^$#, they sent me the wrong d^$* part.

    If you search the archives, you will find the details on this and the right parts numbers.
